Rendering progress on user interface. #2

It might be a good idea to render progress of video download and conversion along with other details like queue priority number on user interface side. The same can be done using websockets. maybe socket.io for the sake of simplicity.

I did progress bar with polling. Haven't really implemented login stuff and a complete user interface for remembering state between refreshes and to allow adding videos to queue for conversion etc

You plan on using vanilla js or a complete SPA framework for the interface side ?

I don't know SPA libraries so much to implement a complete front end app. I just know some good amount of back end and I tried to do more of that only in this project. And I don't plan to maintain this project. If I did front end dev, I would have implemented a SPA mostly, as a PWA (with caching especially, for fast loading) and then I would have implemented authentication. And this is more like a single user application. If many people want to use it in a large scale, I haven't coded it in a scalable manner, but horizontal scaling can be done with little code changes, Docker, Kubernetes and stuff. There's a web app to interact with client and a worker module to do the conversion process. Currently, the web app calls the worker module, instead, we can run the worker code in a completely separate machine or container and the app will still work as the communicate through RabbitMQ. So, having many applications and workers and a single RabbitMQ and single Redis should make this quite scalable. But to get the most performance, we have to do some optimisations I guess
