Web interface overhaul

[meyer9]

We'll be overhauling the web interface.

[ ] Should use better storage method of game state
[ ] Should use AngularJS instead of jQuery

[wchill]

[ ] Should use websockets

[joseph-abell]

Do I dare ask, which version of Angular?

[wchill]

1.x?

[MaxLeiter]

I think the web interface could be its own repo, and I think angular would be overkill. I think a basic web interface is all we need (Jquery and angular aren't really comparable: one is a set of utilities the other is an entire MVW framework)

[wchill]

Yeah, no need for anything fancy. Some REST APIs, flask-socketio, and a simple enough design will probably suffice

[joseph-abell]

In terms of my side of things, I cannot stand working with angular 1.x. As soon as you go off the beaten track, and not trust in the magic they give you, everything gets messy quickly. I've had much happier times with react, although that doesn't play well with jquery either (but I'm ok with that)

[joseph-abell]

I'm happy with rest apis, will need to look into flask-socketio though.

[wchill]

I can do Flask-SocketIO, if you do the frontend part of SocketIO

[joseph-abell]

sounds good

Closing this as there is now a dedicated repo for web.
