Interesting introduction of frontend and backend here.

Open to changes in the wording :)

Re-reading this, I think the previously sentence was simpler and easier to read. Introducing terms such as "backend" and "frontend" seems tempting from a technical perspective, but it also creates ambiguity for people coming from the web for example. Does this mean that the backend runs on a server and Slint UI runs elsewhere? (traditionally there's a host boundary between those).
Since this is the very first sentence of the README, simplicity and clarify wins over the "feature" that we support a frontend and backend separation. If anything, I think that could be a bullet point under "features" somewhere.
I suggest to go back to the old wording.

Maybe Design vs. Logic?

I'm also unsure if we should mention SixtyFPS GmbH so early in the introduction.
