To avoid over-burdening the main spothole.app server, it's likely in future that I will move to requesting that owners of client software with heavy usage run their own spothole server. As these client owners may not want a full web-based cluster that users may stumble upon, it would be nice to have an "API-only" mode. This should be controlled by a flag in the config file that allows the use of the web UI. If set false, the server should only expose the API endpoints, the OpenAPI spec page, and a minimal HTML page at the root which just shows basic server info like version & owner, an explanation that the web UI is disabled, and points users to the OpenAPI spec page.
