hub: shall we use Patternfly to redesign web user interface?

[siteshwar]

PatternFly is an Open Source design system recommended by Red Hat. I am opening this issue to discuss if we should redesign web user interface to use it.

Thanks @xsuchy for bringing this issue to our attention.

This would need a major rework of kobo and it internals. While not impossible, I don't believe this is our current primary goal nor we have the manpower to do so.

The migration is quite easy. You just replace headers and few IDs. And that's it. It will ease future maintenance because you do not need to follow the development of CSS, JS and bootstrap.

@xsuchy Yes, the thing is that OpenScanHub, due to historical reasons, uses kobo as the framework for creation of web apps with workers, hubs, tasks, etc... and kobo is also used by other services inside of Red Hat which we want to affect as little as possible.
