Split the application into a windows service and UI #9

Would it be possible to split the application into a windows service and UI? I see that the windows service will support custom commands that will allow us to use automation programs, remote controls and keyboards to control the height of the desk

Yes, on the develop branch I've got a project which hides the desk control behind a REST API. At the moment it's a console app which can be easily converted into a Windows Service using the NuGet package TopShelf. Let me know if the REST API is 'good' enough and I will create a branch or fork with only the REST API as a service.

REST API is a good option, thank you, Tom

Hi, I created another repository for the REST API but haven't had time to do anything yet.

tschroedter commented 2 years ago

I pushed the first working version to the repository. Have a look and let me know what you think.

The REST API is working idasen-desk-rest-api as a console app or Windows Service.

Besides that I pulled out all the Idasen/Bluetooth code into it's own repo: idasen-desk-core
