Likely because no one is working on it. But there most certainly can be alternative frontends.
Is there a demand?
There likely will be soon.
I would work on it, but I have little to no help and suck at css
EDIT: my ADHD brain really wants to so if anyone wants to help/has ideas pls msg
Sucking at CSS isn’t that huge of a deal. You can use utility frameworks like tailwindcss to avoid writing css directly, and if you use react you can use component libraries like Mantine (https://mantine.dev) which is both customizable but also looks great out of the box and provides most any component you’d need to work on something like this.
ehhh I have a love hate relationship with those, they sometimes look great but they also don’t
As of june and july 2023 very likely
