This project has been stale for a while, which is largely due to a
number of poor decisions made when developing the project. Namely:
The user creation process was overly complicated
The project had an unconventional python set up that was unnecessarily
compensated for in the setup script
The run script was fairly clunky
There was no testing of any kind
The backend mostly just consisted of a single file, and relied
heavily on third party libraries, which were imported haphazardly
All of these and more are generally fixed with this refactor, which will
hopefully allow me to revisit this project and give it more attention.
The code is a lot simpler now, and has a fair amount of testing to
ensure that basic functionality and routing works as expected. It will
probably never be able to test the GPIO functionality (since that's hard
to do without a physical device) and the video streaming functionality
(since a lot of that is reliant on Janus).
Eventually this could be expanded on to also run the setup script, once
that has been updated to not have any need for user interaction.
The previous python implementation will be frozen into branch "python".
For anyone curious about this refactoring, feel free to reach out to me
to learn more. I'm also planning on writing a blog post about my
reasoning behind the language change.
