AppView is a specific term of art within the Bluesky federation architecture: https://atproto.com/guides/glossary#app-view, you were incorrect in identifying the public frontend repo as the AppView.
A frontend is (can be) part of an App View. It is quite literally the app you view the network through. There can also be headless app views and app views which have no backend
the backend (the AppView) can be found here:
https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages...
there are various supporting services written in Go as well
https://github.com/bluesky-social/indigo
Which is what I said in the second sentence

The glossary specifically calls out the UI as part of an app view. Can you explain why it is not according to you?
