The current application architecture is very slapped together, and maintenance is becoming a bit of a chore due to how a lot of things are interconnected.

If you happen to know a good architecture for apps that have a lot of async IO via threads, it'd be wonderful to be able to refactor towards that.

This issue should most likely be split into a few different tasks:

• Document planned architecture
• Main refactoring work
• Cleanup refactoring work (there will always be missed things, doc improvement chances, etc)
• Update planned architecture to describe current architecture

If you're just looking for the release builds, you can find them from https://git.ljoonal.xyz/ljoonal/NeosPeeps/releases

Issues and PRs can be opened in this Github repository. The development will however primarily happen against the Gitea upstream, and changes might take a while to get synchronized back.

egui/eframe have good webassembly support, so making a web-compatible build would be quite straight forward once the Neos API gets proper CORS support.

Although even once/if it gets added, currently the app very heavily relies on threads, which might not be so web compatible. So it'd still take some work, which I won't even begin trying to do before CORS support.

Resizing the floating popouts of user profiles, sessions & etc works very inconsistently when trying to do it by dragging from this bottom area:

Something to do with the layout I guess, as I tried to create a minimal example demo to report it to egui maintainers but couldn't find a neat way to reproduce it in a few hours.

It'd be neat to have background fetching of messages.
This could also be further split into:

• Implementing the actual background processing of messages of contacts
• Keeping track of last read message (as syncing read status to Neos is currently impossible due to API limitations afaik)
• Displaying an indicator on the contacts list / contact profile on new messages
• Possibly implementing some sort of notification on new messages
• Turn the chat screen into a floating popuout window
