Initial load can show all possible states

Due to the move to a completely javascript based front end, on slow internet (like conferences), for a second after load all states are visible. This means "sign in", "sign out", the table for the queue, and "Queue is empty" all appear. I think the initial load should do a server side render of the HTML so that your view is correct, and then we can ensure it auto-updates after that. May require moving from Knockout, not sure.

agreed, and I’d like to move away from knockout if possible. It worked as a proof of concept, but I wasn’t 100% happy with it as an implementation.
In general - happy to drop client side refreshing altogether if you didn’t find it useful.

I think it was super cool and would like to keep it. But lets give it another pass and make it more robust. Great proof of concept 👍
