Create design for web app

Some thoughts:

  • back end written in java, like a servlet
  • front end written in javascript and html (maybe jquery???)
  • we can basically port the GUI straight to js/html -- create a "dashboard" that combines the main window with the filter selection window (side-by-side?)
  • the back end really just has to accept a subset definition and a corpus definition and serve up the resulting word cloud image (along with corresponding data file?)
  • we definitely need to figure out the best way to couple the back end and front end -- how do we pass subset/corpus definitions and results between front end and back end?
