Migrate from deno to Node.js #3

Reasoning

In the near future, I would like to upgrade gib from a CLI tool to a full-fledged desktop app.

I have tinkered with many methods for preparing such an app in deno and have found all of them lacking in some regard or other. Tooling for building web apps - and especially desktop apps based on web app frameworks - is simply better with node at this point in time.

So, as much as I love working with deno for quick prototyping and testing, I believe switching to node is the right call, as it will make it much easier to integrate the existing source files into an electron app.
