-------------------------------------

Hi everyone, long time no Jira rant. I am looking to exercise my brain to stay sharp as I battle other challenges. I didn't know if I can think of a better exercise. I am certainly rusty on Javascript and CSS. It's like riding a bike... that adds a new wheel, every other fortnight.

Here's what I can commit to in my nights and weekends, but for different reasons than the last time I tried the full re-write. I was a bit naïve:

I'll build login functionality using React and some bundler that will set up a pretty solid foundation for migrating more functionality.

On the bright side, I know a bit about the login functionality thanks to a few committers that helped me a bit back in the day. Happy to throw my hat in to support this important yet challenging aspect of maintaining the project. I think I've have time to help with the latter stages of the migration, but my ultimate goal would be to get more people to learn about the project. If I cannot find people on the internet to help us out, I'd be happy to talk with folks about sponsoring a talented student looking for a project. 

You can expect a PR tomorrow night to kick of the discussion that will likely happen here. [~janhoy] Let me know if that sounds good and if I should invest time as I see the discussion went quiet for a few months following a few years?

If the answer is yes, I would be surprised if it took more more than a couple weeks to get something working and looking pretty. A few days in that period will make it difficult for me to deal with computers, even in the evenings, otherwise it would be done in a week.

> I suggest using [ngUpgrade|https://angular.io/guide/upgrade#upgrading-with-ngupgrade] to start a linear migration process to Angular from Angular JS. ngUpgrade will reach the end of life at the end of 2023, so we will only get a year of using it seamlessly, but this seems to me like the last resort regarding a linear migration of the Admin UI codebase. The need for this is of course to migrate the current Admin UI project to newer technology, instead of writing it all from the start (or implementing the same stuff once more in YASA).
