feat: Website version for easier access and reach about activism-mailbot

[BMariscal]

I think you can keep the Python code and build a Python backend with Flask (or Django). The frontend can be built using JavaScript.

You can have the submission form and website details in the frontend and have the frontend call the backend to do the authentication and asynchronously handle tasks to send out the emails.

Task queues to run background tasks: https://pythonise.com/series/learning-flask/flask-rq-task-queue

I'd be happy to offer assistance or guidance to build the backend.

Hello, checkout https://github.com/cvaldez98/activism-web-client, we're trying to do this exact same thing.
Please reach out and feel free to help out. I'm working on the GUI and a teammate is working on getting the gmail authentication to work in the back end, but help would be appreciated!

Hey, check out https://github.com/nkhalsa/la-mailer. There's a working but limited GUI now. It uses this as a backed with Flask and a modified version of https://github.com/michaelnyu/la-mailer/ as the frontend.

Could definitely use some help implementing more features/bug fixes though! Namely: not randomizing emails every time the name is changed, and adding gmail functionality (currently just opens an email in mail app)

@cvaldez98 and I have been working on a web app version using gmail api as well! Check it out here https://github.com/cvaldez98/activism-web-client
As @cvaldez98 mentioned, we welcome all help!

@cvaldez98 @AbdallahAbuHashem Awesome - I wonder if there's a way to merge (lol using so many github terms in non github ways) these efforts. You can reach me at [email protected] -- i'm also working with a teammate @lilyhlou on this

[cvaldez98]

@nkhalsa I'll send an email out tomorrow!
