Meta thoughts at SHA `d969b73`

This commit is the first full vertical slice of value:

Backend gets a meaningful piece of data
Frontend loads, receives that data, and shows it
Deploys to a live site

This took about 5.5 hours, ~half of which was spent learning Phoenix: setting up esbuild/asset pipeline after not doing so OOB, then learning how to parse json.

Next up:

Add more useful/fun data
- Election data?
Improve presentation
Improve operations
- Set up logging, observability
