OK, so I've done a bit of research on ways to create a web server on the ESP32, and I've decided to use the ESPAsyncWebServer library to create and manage the web server, as apparently it's supposed to be better than the WebServer.h library and it should work fine for what I need it to do. Maybe there's something better out there, I don't know. If there's issues maybe I'll go with something else, like Mongoose, which looks interesting.

Honestly I've never done anything like this before, so my head hurts every time I have to look at this stuff. And starting is probably the best way to stop that from happening.

Suggestions on what to use are welcome. Stay tuned!
