The code pattern:
$("#main").html("");
$("#main").append(bar);
can be simplified to:
$("#main").html(bar);
In general, the code is, clear, easy to read, and well organized. All the decisions among alternatives are reasonable and straight forward. Doing the simplest thing that might work is a good approach because it avoids adding unneeded complexity to the necessary complexity.
The use of template literals rather than strings might be unnecessary complexity because the templating features are not used. Support for template literals is not universal among browsers. The page may break for no reason for some people. To put it another way, using template literals rather than strings creates potential broken pages for no gain in browsers that support template literals.
