Custom Fronted Framework

The tolk fronted is built using a custom js library in the folder assets/js/app/silly. The library simply splits html code into templates (i call them components in code) and then renders them using the ejs template engine. There is also an interface for sending ajax and websocket messages. it's meant to be used to rapidly convert static html pages into dynamically rendered ones.
