Add cross-platform bootplate and wrapper #4

Closed codepoet80 closed 2 years ago

I'll take no offense if you ignore this PR -- I know it looks huge, but its actually a small change that sets up something awesome. I've wrapped your code (as-is, for now) in a modified bootplate that allows targeting other platforms.

FeedSpider is my absolute favorite, daily-use webOS app, but as 3G networks get shut down, webOS devices are going to be less usable. This wrapper allows building and deploying FeedSpider on modern Android and web servers. There are other problems to solve (CORS being a big one), but at a basic level, your code "just works" on other platforms (I've attached a pic of it running on my Pixel 3a for proof.)

Additionally, LuneOS has changed since you originally compiled for it, and your code will need other considerations to run on that Platform going forward. I'd love to collaborate and keep FeedSpider alive for everyone -- but I'm also happy to keep my private fork going for my own use. Either way, thought I'd send the PR so you can see.
