TODO: Add frontend framework (which one?)

// TODO: add a frontend framework, current factoring has outgrown itself (poll) 

I'd really like to hear your input on this: which frontend framework do you think provides the best solution for the icns.ml project, and (more importantly) the needs of its users?

Background

As you can clearly see in api/index.ts (38e5d36), the current frontend factoring is just hideous:

https://github.com/nberlette/icns/blob/38e5d36b5bfcb1dfae61250b7845ef95c3eeb832/api/index.ts#L30-L40

While this format of a no-framework API ("Other" in the Vercel project configuration) initially seemed to work alright, it was never intended to support anything beyond a static HTML-rendered version of the readme.md file.

As the frontend's functionality (and thereby its footprint) expands, I think it's pretty clear we've outgrown our outfit here 😅

Potential Solutions

When it comes to frameworks, lately I've been pretty hooked (no pun, I swear) on Next.js and SvelteKit, which are now *both being developed by Vercel. Since SvelteKit is still in it's pre-1.0 public beta, and lately they've pushed some completely breaking changes, I continue to find myself erring towards Next for production-grade dependability.

The choice is yours

I don't expect my little cobweb-filled corner of GitHub to get very much traffic, so the impact your vote will have on icns.ml's future is pretty significant. Thank you!
