It’s time to kill the web app

I don't really understand.

You say that the web needs to be completely thrown out, yet you decided that your foray into web development should be to build a thick Javascript web application? Not some simple Flask endpoint?

Because I assume you could figure out a basic request/response server, and your issue is that you dove into something like Webpack + React + Flux + Qux + Fux + Foo.

I don't even know what a "Flask endpoint" is. Actually I barely know what Webpack and React are either.

Flask is a Python framework for web servers. It's like 5 minutes to a HelloWorld webpage

The time to create a "hello world" page isn't really the best selling point when it can be done in ~15 seconds depending on your internet speed.

    yum install -y httpd && echo 'Hello, World.' >/var/www/html/index.html && systemctl start httpd

Or assuming that you want something in python

    echo 'Hello, World.' > index.html && python -m http.server
