Move to a better frontend framework (like React?)

[imbhargav5]

The library page and search results have good behaviour and as the app grows, the imperative style code using jQuery will get out of hand and fixing one bug will break up another section of the app.

I suggest we move to React, because it's significantly light weight and it's declarative style syntax gives us modular, scoped and readable code. Thoughts? Framework suggestions are welcome!

@bhargav175 the change could be too huge, from this on, all the contributors will need to know about react, as we don't have enough active contributors in the meantime, this could make us less contributors, and make the gap to contribute higher, I prefer not to move to react but improve the ui/ux/features under current structure :)

Makes sense. I had a feeling that would be the case. But yes, we could probably structure our code better but continue to stick with plain js and jquery. What are your thoughts on having a having a front-end build system?

@bhargav175 right now, I'll prefer to focus on keep improving current codes, but I won't mind to have some tries on react or other framework. For the build system, do you mean gult or grunt?

[imbhargav5]

Gulp is fine but Web pack is better. Yeah I will keep knocking the help-wanted issues out, but in parallel i will see if I can come up with a quick demo in react.

@imbhargav5 Hi, I have interest about this, are you in progress?

[imbhargav5]

Not really. Feel free to ask the contributors and take it up if that sounds reasonable to all.
