Cloudflare template

A project template for spinning up web projects quickly.

Current state

This template is missing a lot of core web-app features. I'll add more as I develop more projects with it.

Idealogy

New ideas should be developed and validated rapidly
Developing a fixed and simple foundation will allow me to spend less time on scaffolding
Difficult-to-reverse commitments should be avoided when prototyping. E.g. domain naming.
Demos should cost me $0 or close to it.
Time-to-demo of <1 week should be possible with a solid foundation and template

Stack

I'll be using Cloudflare as the primary provider for this template as it solves all of the above goals at low cost.

I can point URLs to R2 buckets for rapid static asset deployment
Cloudflare Workers allow for rapid backend deployment
Cloudflare D1 offers lightweight DB integration
The startup plan means I get all of ^ for free

I'm also using MUI as a frontend framework because it's what I know well and it'll let me iterate rapidly.
