[WIP] Add default React frontend and Flask backend setup

[Copilot]

Setting up default React frontend and Flask backend with retro Windows XP styling

Plan:

• Set up Flask backend structure
  • Create backend directory with Flask app boilerplate
  • Add requirements.txt for Flask dependencies
  • Create API endpoints (boilerplate only, not implemented)
  • Add CORS support for local development
• Set up React frontend structure
  • Initialize React app with Create React App or Vite
  • Create components for file directory input
  • Create components for search box
  • Apply Windows XP retro styling (colors, buttons, layout)
• Add documentation for running locally
• Test the setup to ensure frontend and backend can run locally

Original prompt

I want a default react frontend and flask backend which will be run locally. The theme styling is retro, so buttons, colors, and layout should look like old Windows XP. The frontend should have an input for a file directory and also a search box. Add the boilerplate functions for the backend, but don't implement them.
