Web cmake-init

Would a web version of cmake-init be of any use? Something similar to https://start.spring.io/

Some tools already require Python that generated projects offer integration with, so this is a really low priority issue in my book, especially since the Python code would need to be rewritten in JS.

In theory, the current implementation could be run on the backend of a server as is, and one only had to write a frontend to pass the right flags to the CLI on the backend. This could be a minimal solution w/o the need to rewrite everything in JS. However, I don't see too much extra value in this. The current deployment as a PyPI package & CLI prompts works very well for me.

The idea here is to host a github.io page where one could browse to and just grab a zip file with the contents. This would avoid people having to install Python if they are for some reason averse to that.
