v0.9.0-beta

v0.9.0-Beta Release Notes

Heyyyy so a lot happened this beta. Honestly, words cannot comprehend the changes as i have basically recoded the entire app. Heres a subset of documented changes though:

📱Client Management

• You can now see what clients are connected
• You can disconnect connected clients
• You can prod connected clients to see if they're still awake
• You can scan a QR code to open DeskThing on your phone
• You can restart the entire server

🟢 App Management

• You can reorder apps from the desktop GUI
• App view is simpler
• Details and Settings are one menu now
• You can hide sensitive details
• You can automatically download apps
• You can choose to overwrite old apps or keep the old app's data
• There is a clearer distinction between pausing and disabling apps (pausing stops the app, disabling clears the cache and prevents it from auto starting on startup)
• You can view app-specific logs
• Being prompted for user input is simpler
• More options for user input

🔌 Device Management

• You can enable "Auto Detect" for it to attempt and automatically detect when the device is connected
• You can enable "Auto Configure" so once a device is detected, it configures it for you if its not already
• There is an "Auto Configure" button in the GUI that pushes the latest client as well as sets up the ADB port
• All the "extra" settings are in a sub menu to make them less distracting
• Phone support

🖱️ Keymap Support

None of the GUI has been coded for this functionality - everything listed is backend-only so far

• Profiles
  • Saving profiles
  • Exporting profiles
  • Importing profiles
  • duplicating profiles
  • migrating profiles
• Keys can now be added by apps
• Keys have a description
• Keys can have an icon associated with them
• Actions can be added by apps
• Actions can have descriptions, uses, and manual inputs
• Actions can prompt what type of input they expect
• Keys have specific flavors - not just all flavors
• Actions can have dynamic icons
• Key-Action-Flavor interaction is simlified

🧱 Dashboard

near-nothing has been coded for this and may be deferred to v1.0.0

• You can configure what is on the dashboard
• You can resize dashboard items to take a 2x1, 1x2, or 1x1 grid

🔴 Performance

• Boot time has been increased significantly
• Server GUI uses zustand for state management and react-router for pages meaning its overall a lot snappier and faster
• Backend has been organized and simplified with stores and singleton instances to increase interaction and performance
• App loading is finally completely asynchronous

💻 Client Updates

• Screensaver!
• Sleep state
• Startup IP scanning
• Automatic IP configuration
• Client Tracking
• Minor performance / functionality things with other apps

🕐 Startup Process

Realistically this will have to be pushed to v1.0.0 because of how much I have to finish

• Guided setup
• One click installs (for setting up the deskthing)
• Tutorial for how to use the device + buttons
• Troubleshooting steps

Theres probably more but that's what came to mind so far. I really cannot wait to show everyone here everything I've been working on and actually get it into your hands. Thanks for being a part of this community ^-^
