The purpose of this branch was to do all text transformations ahead of time and provide a curated dataset to the web app. It's more efficient from a compute perspective (cost) and should make the app load faster for the end user. This change led to a significant restructuring of the repository, where I split it into two major pieces: the web app and the data management. The data management is further divided into data retrieval and data transformation, the final product of which is the curated dataset that is stored in the web app code and used at runtime.

While I was removing the spaCy functions from the Dash app, I also made some text and visual changes to the app. The main change is that the fortune now looks more like a piece of paper you would actually see in a fortune cookie. Probably should have been its own branch, but what's done is done!
