Development branch for the archive explorer.

Is this ready for review? And how does this branch and PR relate to the other explorer branches?

I checked it out locally and I'm happy with this PR.

Sorry for the late reply, but this is not meant for merging yet. This is @dhananjaya93's dev branch. Dhana had some trouble setting this up, so we went through it together. I'll make it a draft PR. Sorry again for wasting your time.

Hi Dana. OK, so I've looked at this. I am not sure I fully understand the UI just yet.

• I see that the user can choose between "Table View" and "List View", but what's the purpose of the "List view"?
• The "Map View" appears empty right now. I see a world map, but no individuals on it, even if I select a package
• I don't fully understand what the "Show Selection" button does.
• Below the table, it always says "...fetching data from poseidon package server", even if the table is already there.
• I like the search bar, which works very snappy... but I don't fully understand what is being searched. For example, if I input "schiffels", among other packages I get to see 2014_LazaridisNature, which I wasn't part of... (but perhaps I am listed as maintainer or something?)
• I think we commented already somewhere else that we would like the table to be a bit tidier, so basically listing the title, the description, and then perhaps a single column joining Version, last-modified, Poseidon-Version and Individuals for better overview.

Happy to discuss more on Friday.

Additional comments from Meeting on Aug 25:

• List view not necessary ATM
• Table view -> perhaps some interactivity. Ideas:
  • Download link
  • Button to highlight samples from this package in the map
  • Perhaps for the future: List individual/group information or janno content for a specific package. Perhaps as a pop-up, or an expanding view.
  • In the map view: For an individual, show also group and age and location, and perhaps a button to scroll to the related package information in the table.
  • In general, perhaps change the table to a list of cards or something, which could be more flexible when we want to expand a specific card or so.

Perhaps we should change the
