JavaScript SEO

> The controllers are very similar but do deviate from each other from time to time. Still, I tried to keep the code looking the same line-for-line whenever possible.

> In order to do a like for like, we created our own JavaScript-based template engine. The client tempaltes are compiled into HTML using a Grunt plugin and then packaged into the main JS file. I had to create some server side functions to mimc the Angular syntax, but I got close with my like for like comparison.

If this is the number of hoops needed to jump through to get Angular working for server-side rendering, I'm frightened. Please tell me there's a better way.
