Consider converting this into a web component. #2

I'm seeing that this entire thing is written in JS / CSS and HTML. Therefore this may be a good candidate for bundling into a web component so that it can be reused in other applications easier, without having to worry about how it's implementation may be impacted by external contexts.

Was also thinking about the possibility of abstracting some of this into a React component that could be an NPM package. Could be useful for people to make use of the captioning functionality more generically. If this was a web component, then maybe it could be used with various frameworks rather than just be a react thing (although I seem to recall that web components in React can be a bit of a can of worms - maybe that has gotten better.)

@backlineint I've been able to figure out the WC in React thing before. It's not so bad.

@cosmicdreams good to know. From my perspective, this would be a fun opportunity to learn.
