We once simplified our templating logic during the migration to Express, but some of these changes were lost as code-server was refactored.

Much of these changes can be resurrected and applied to our architecture.

Goals:

• Reducing the amount of code that duplicates express’s existing page routing
• Relying on fewer interpolated data passed to the front-end via metatags
• Simplifying browserify differences between local dev and built artifacts.
