Begin working on components

[jfroelich]

I want to mess around with getting a step closer to react/angular/vue style approaches. Interface components are modularized. Similar to MVC controllers.

The current view-related modules are just giant balls of mud. They would become simpler to maintain if they instead were broken up into components.

I think I will visit the pages and go component by component, slowly migrating code from within a view module into a component, until the vast majority of the remaining code is just component initialization and binding.

I think a good approach might be to try out the various frameworks using separate UIs.

I think backbone would be a good place to start.

I am currently thinking of the idea of recreating the options page using backbone. I would create a folder like 'backbone-options-page', put everything needed within it, and then try it out.
