Refactor to fix type errors

[kyscott18]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have over 400 typescript and lint errors that probably cause random things to break. To have a robust frontend, we really need to purge these.

Describe the solution you'd like
We are going to need to rewrite a decent amount of code to get these to go away. Other cleanup related issues will make this easier. This issue is probably going to have to be split up into smaller ones in the future to make it more realistic and maintainable.
