📄 Description

This implements a static frontend as suggested in #36.

background

Currently, the browser contains decrypted data and the encryption key. If the browser's JavaScript were modified to be malicious and a malicious server were created, it would be hard to detect.

this pr

This PR allows the backend to accept cross origin requests, and the frontend to be served statically on GitHub pages, Vercel, or a local static server, which can be manually built. The static page still routes the terminal traffic through a (potentially) untrusted server, but that is okay since the traffic is encrypted before going over the wire.

Changes

Accept cross origin requests on backend
Create script to publish built frontend to https://cs01.github.io/termpair/connect/
Make UI to define url of TermPair server where encrypted terminal data should be sent via websocket
Also added UI to let regular server specify Terminal ID on the landing page instead of requiring it in the URL
Update docs
