Refactoring ideas

Short term

• Integrate typescript in the build and start migrating the server code.

Mid term

• Port complete server to typescript.
• Port the server code to promises and async / await.
• Use ES6 style imports instead of require.
• Store node data in database and export it for gateways.
• Write tests (especially testing quirky node data).

Long term

• Rewrite the admin interface (used lib is unmaintained).
• Rewrite the client in typescript (+ vue?).
• Replace the grunt build system.
• Decentralize node data.
