Web interface for group management

[Maxopoly]

• Player can run a command, which generates a weblink contaning a token for auth etc.
• Web page gets its data from production mysql db
• Web page can talk to the minecraft server in some way to send requests for changes as the editing player

I dont care about the framework used as long as its not something obscure or unmaintable.

@Gjum could you be interested in this? I could be doing all the plugin/java parts needed for it.

Mentioned this in the Discord figured it might be a good idea to mention it here for posterity and so it can be elaborated upon and such. Ultimately this idea can be realised in two ways, firstly is a client and api, and the second is a server focused.

• Client and API: Doing this would likely mean expanding upon Kira API to be more capable and reliable. It is something that ought to be done anyway and this might be good motivation to do so. The benefits of doing this would be that a new token system wouldn't need to be created as it could tap into the existing Kira API token system, though I'd suggest creating a new permission than extending SNITCH, CHAT, or SKYNET. Another benefit would be that the client could be statically hosted on Github Pages since all data is fetch dynamically, though I'd suggest making it via ReactJS since it has wide support, themes, frameworks, and such. I have even dabbled in it myself here.

• Server Focus: This would be like making a WordPress site, which could be done in PHP, or Java Server Pages, or Python (gag), or really anything that can handle HTTP requests and respond dynamically. This would mean that you could specialise the site and not tie it to another system (as opposed to expanding Kira API), but it would mean having to host it manually, which might not be an issue at all but it would mean another thing to keep up and running.
