Investigate NoSQL for label data

Need to investigate the use of a NoSQL database to store label data. It is likely that mongoDB will be chosen. However, the app currently uses the DOM for label data storage. It is an interesting technique but it's not likely to be used as common solution.

Investigate:

1. The work necessary to redesign the current scheme which is to store label data in the DOM.
2. If mongoDB is greenlit then also investigate hosting this on a public server. Key things to pay attention to are:
   a) security, does this present any issues if hosted publicly?
   b) with security in place will it still be an effective demonstration of - API, PHP, JavaScript
   c) if publicly hosted the access to repos must be restricted.
3. Keep two version of this app: data stored in the DOM, data stored in a NoSQL database

Improve selected repo info

the displayed repo info isn't aligned from labels to text fields.

Investigate GraphQL for GitHub

Investigate using the GitHub GraphQL (V4) API instead of the REST API.

If implemented it would require a rewrite of the PHP code. But the client facing API will not be changed.

Rename www folder

to public_html

Improve repo list box

The list box is resizable. But its behavior is too fast. Either use a fixed size(but auto-resizable) for find a better way to resize.

Sort repo list

When the repo list is first obtained sort it alphabetically before displaying it or saving it.

Link to open repo

After a repo is selected, and it's info displayed also provide a link to the repo in github and open in a new tab when clicked.

Update bootstrap

Update at least to 4.6.
