Honestly at that point, may as well rewrite the whole thing. Personally I've got my eye on Elm, but someone else might want React or Vue or something.

And I think it's polite to proxy and cache the API out of our servers as well, to reduce the load on the university.

For this application I wouldn't want to use React or Vue, since layout is so simple. Maybe if we need something where the user signs in and adds all their courses, with a management console; that might justify the use of a front-end js framework.
