Structure of the application

Every widget on the infodisplay is rendered into Jinja templates by a handler residing in handlers. The index.htm uses HTMX to reload each widget independently on different timers. Handlers using external data sources use the @cached decorator to avoid frequent requests to their respective upstream services.
