Use React on the frontend

[panchr]

The frontend code is messy in that raw HTML is generated by JavaScript; this isn't really a good practice and is difficult to maintain.

You can largely avoid such a problem by using a framework such as React, which abstracts away the raw (and often gory) details of working with HTML/DOM and instead, lets you think in terms of components and composition, which is a much neater model.

Rewriting the frontend in React may be a large undertaking, but worth pursuing for a v2 release!
