Migrate Front End to React

[M0nica]

Want to switch from using plain HTML to using React for the front-end and continue using Python/Flask to handle the logic.

Depending on the approach this can/should be broken up into smaller tasks.

@M0nica
Can I pick this up?

[M0nica]

Sure that would be great @nickisaacs. Do you have any ideas for minimizing merge conflicts?

[nickisaacs]

@M0nica Do you have any existing merge conflicts?

[M0nica]

No, but I imagine that redoing the weather.html and other html files will introduce merge conflicts...although actually in React the extension is different so I guess it's more so making sure all of that gets migrated over as opposed to fixing actual merge conflicts.

@M0nica
I wouldn't be working on the HTML. I'm creating a react application inside your project, and I will convert the python app to a pure API which will be consumed by the React application. So now you will need to start the python app, and run the react app as well.

#49 @M0nica
The CI tests will fail since I have modified the APIs.
