Behind the scenes work

I've been working on some more behind-the-scenes stuff with markwhen, which I both like and dislike doing: dislike because it doesn't have any immediate value for users, like because it enables more value for users long-term.

I have been separating the views (timeline/map/calendar) from the editor. At this point, every view is its own standalone application that communicates with the editor via a standard API.

I'm working on [opening up this API](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@markwhen/view-client ) and adding documentation so that others might be able to make their own views.

I know the current timeline view is the main draw of markwhen and I definitely plan on continuing to improve it. In fact now that the view and the editor are separated I am finding that the timeline is easier to work on.
