Create a web-application project template

[vkottler]

So far the only thing we've done leveraging datazen is the WoW-macro UI (source): https://vkottler.github.io/blizzard/static/

Right out of the gate this drove some useful feature development on the generator side, but we need to build out a template (like https://github.com/vkottler/python-package-template) so we can make more GUIs

[vkottler]

We have a few initial use-cases:

• A way to visualize SVG work using svgen, and continue development on Add support for generating material design themes svgen#6
• A GUI for vtelem

It's possible we may want to look into non-browser GUIs so we can more easily connect Python code to a UI

[vkottler]

Probably for Python, something like "prompt toolkit" (i.e. vkottler/vmklib#3) isn't an endgame that works for everything.

Other options:

• https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html (part of the standard library!)
• https://wxpython.org/
• https://matplotlib.org/ (plotting only)
• https://plotly.com/python/ (plotting only)
• Connect a Python server to something like Electron (kind of pointless)
• Connect an arbitrary web app to a Python web server, and add RESTful APIs to packages where needed (might make the most sense for svgen)

Maybe we should try https://grpc.io/ or something, too

[vkottler]

We have this now, too https://github.com/vkottler/typescript-package-template

https://github.com/vkottler/runtimepy does front-end apps in Python.
