Feature Request: add web interface to configure evidence collection and display output

[ghost]

The usability of the tool could be improved by the extension of a graphical user interface.

One way to go:

• add a new option to the command line --gui
• if --gui is switched on, start a local web server and open the web server page in the browser
• Then, people could configure all options using a web interface instead of command line options
• The result could be displayed then on the same page. For this, work on an HTML output in Feature Request: Improve Reporting Output #6 is relevant.

I would highly favour to keep the code for collecting data and UI's separated. What UI is suitable, depends highly on your usecase, better do one thing and do one thing right. For example: I am planning to incorporate this code in an other project that has its own focus and its own UI. An UI incorporated into the collecting code would be useless ballast to me.

Hi @rriemann-eu,

You can use this as a base: https://github.com/vilmospapp/wec-web it's pretty simple (need some CSS boost as well, but it works fine)

Short update: a cotractor will build a frontend, most likely based on electron
