Title: Moving to a single-page-app on a thin API architecture

Hello CustomInk guys!

I took the liberty to attempt to move Stoplight to a single-page-app on a thin API architecture, powered by Backbone.js.

I don't expect you to just pull this in, since its a pretty radical change (although all of the existing functionality is there) but if you had in plan such a thing already, you're welcome to take a look!

I definitely like the fact that refreshes are now seamless, and that I have the immense flexibility to play with the UI layer any way I like client-side wise; for example bubbling events from different parts of the UI carried through Backbone's eventbus, and real-time updates are now effortless to make.

To try it out, try `/index-js.html`

Regardless, thanks for an already awesome project!
