[Request] In-App Notifications

[daniel-mader]

Description

A user should be informed about certain events such as:

• "Profile successfully restored" (success)
• "Credentials have been shared" (success)
• "Scanned QR code is not applicable" (failure)

Further requirements:

• Should have a title and a description
• Two "flavors": success, failure
• User should be able to actively dismiss a notification if they have read it
• Notifications can dismiss themselves after a certain time has elapsed
• Notification should be managed as part of the application state in order to be predictable and recreatable (no "out-of-band" notifications like OS notifications)

Motivation

Enhance user experience by actively giving feedback on what happened

Requirements

1. Show success and failure messages
2. Optionally self-dismissing
3. State of notification is fully managed through application state (no extra channel to push to the frontend)

Add error handling:

• Backend error that is displayed in the frontend. The error can be added to the application state and frontend displays the error as dialog.
• SvelteKit error that is handled by a dedicated error page. This type of error should not happen in production and is more for dev.

@daniel-mader @SoulaAndrikopoulos We discussed today that we would rather not add error messages to the state but send them to the frontend directly via a separate Tauri channel.

We have some initial notifications of error messages, we should also have them disappear after a certain time. Even better if the error message has a small bar that empties over time until it disappears to indiciate how long till it disappears.
