A web interface to an NMDC hub.
Chat in real-time on your NMDC hub using a web browser. This project forks and deprecates my earlier `dcwebui2` project since Go seems to use less memory than node.

This project supercedes [entry=dcwebui]dcwebui[/entry], [entry=flexdc]flexdc[/entry], and [entry=dcwebui2]dcwebui2[/entry].
=UPGRADING FROM DCWEBUI2=
- The configuration file content is identical between nmdc-webfrontend 1.0.0 and dcwebui2 1.3.0, but please now ensure it's valid JSON instead of arbitrary javascript. This means no assignment, use double-quoted strings, and no comments.
- Future changes to the configuration file since nmdc-webfrontend 1.0.0 are backward compatible (see the changelog for more details).
