[RFC] Project Management Improvements

[mrfrase3]

Hey,

I'm planning on working on improving how projects work on the app, so before I do so, I thought I might open it up for suggestions/feedback. Here's some of my ideas so far.

• Exports come with a duinoapp.json in the root, which contains project details including what libraries are required
• In the library manager, allow looking at a libs examples and then importing one as a project
• The ability to have a project be saved in your file system, using the new File System Access API (this one might be a bit of a stretch goal)
• Suggested by jm1492 on discord: "Excluding the creation of the Blink code template when creating a new project, or the option to create just a basic code template consisting of the Setup and Loop functions."
  • The ability to have several starting templates to choose from?
  • Be able to mark an existing project as a starting template?

All input welcome!

Would it be possible to have an option where a simple Arduino sketch (.ino file) can be imported and exported using the duino.app code editor instead of the zip file as the only file option? For simple sketches, being able to directly use an .ino file would make it easier to switch between duino.app and the traditional Arduino IDE without the need to unzip and zip the file. Certainly copy/paste between editors is another option, but still a bit cumbersome.
