Investigate react SSR for SEO/embeds

[jellegerbrandy]

This is a good point, but I would phrase it differently, because there are also other types of solutions.

For sharing (oembed) and for web crawlers that do not support javascript, we need to service different pages at URLs like play/someVideo. In particular, we need to set headers specifically for the video, and show some content specifically for that video.

Note that this issue is only relevant for non-javascript enabled clients (<-- I'm not 100% sure about this).

There are (I think) two types of solutions here:

1. Server side rendering
2. Create a separate middleware (at the Apache/nginx level) that sets the appropriate headers

SSR of course also has optimization benefits, and gives us more control over what info we serve.
