Yay! That's great since it will be much easier for the whole community
to test the app much more quickly.

Now, it would be great to pick some name for the repository and
populate it, to simplify further work.

Cool. Some feedback:
- the css should go to a separate static file
- allowing port id might be a bad idea because there might be a port
called "123"
- calling parser multiple times populates the database with multiple
copies of the same port, you should use something like
"create_or_update"
- we need to figure out the best way to call the "parser"

I might have a few other comments, but the initial purpose was to
check if we have an easy way to deploy the development version and
this has been achieved.

Please come up with proposal(s) for project name, so that we can make
an explicit request to the infrastructure team to create a new repo.

Random brainstorming ideas: webapp, "port guardian" (in whatever spelling), ...
