Do not use Powershell

In prod it opens a visible window and it may be performance expensive asf

Keep alive socket

Currently the socket automatically timeout due to nginx reverse proxy timeout.
For community deploy it may lead to some deploy unattended errors with base config.

This would mean removing or change the default timeout server side of currently 1hour. And/or implement another solution for idle timeout

Forbid client connection to server

If the client app is not up to date or on a newer version than the server version, the connection is refused. To avoid problem with socket

Timer UTC

Problem with Time zone on timer

Error handling

We should have an in app notification popup for errors (such as no connection with backend server)

Session Card Animation Modification

Description: Modify the animation effect on session cards to enhance visual interaction during mouse hover. Currently, the card slightly moves up when hovered over. The goal is to change this effect so that, upon hover, the gradient of the button at the bottom of the card transitions from 20% opacity to 70%, enhancing both the visual appeal and user interaction.

Example:

Custom installer

Modify images, favicon and UI from the installer

Double timer

Sometimes the timer is launched 2 times in a row.. Happened 2 times

Add translation DE, ES

Join a session window

Ensure that when a link is entered, and it's invalid, an error message is displayed as shown in the planned mockup, and it keeps the window open.

Add session start research

Copy button on session id

Just next to the session Id a copy button (clipboard icon ?)

Update to the "Information" Section on the Session Page

Description: The "Information" section of the session page requires updates to better accommodate user interactions and display relevant session statistics. The updates aim to improve the user experience by providing clearer actions and real-time session metrics.

Section Updates:

1. Ready/Not Ready Toggle Button
2. Display of Player Count
3. Count of Ready Players
4. Count of Alliance Attempts
5. Chance Percentage of Alliance Creation
6. "Leave Session" Button

Example of Change:

Admin prompt by default

The app should ask for admin by default

No master after that master left session

Public/Private session

Permit the master of the session to handle the private/public status of the session.

When player change to public, the session will be visible to all user connected on the server. All player who see the alliance can just click on it to join the session.

On this page their will be a table containing the session name, the number of player and other thibngs if needed

Message when server id not found

When joining another session with a code, if the sessions doesn't exist : trigger a message for the user

Comparative board in ReadMe with FleetCreator

What we have that FleetCreator dont have (or we do better) :

• IPv6 support
• Less performance usage ?
• No ads
• No paid tiers
• UX friendly
• Open source = safer = transparent
• Automatic click between the same crew
• No memory leak (screen of the 8GB of ram used by FleetCreator after 10 hours)
• Faster ? (benchmark it)
• Size of file ? (to determine)

Auto update doesn't automatically open app

When the update occurs and is accepted it downloads it, but doesnt open back the app after it.
