Data insights index page

• Automatically upload a narrative view export to Cloudflare
• Automatically upload a Figma export to Cloudflare
• Automatically create a DI for a narrative chart by creating a GDoc and pre-filling as many fields as possible

Sounds like a great list! For the admin, do you already know how you want to do things there? I think the latests admin additions like the images used the antd table component, should we try to use this for new admin pages?

@danyx23 I haven't started working on it. Happy to use antd components!
