First of all, it’s beautiful!
Full control over IR remote signals: Send any signal (or combination) in any format. Control multiple devices of multiple brands simultaneously. Define your own key combinations of any level of complexity.
The only limit is Arduino memory size.

After over one year use and collecting pretty big document base (over 1G) I can measure/profile running application.
Each server round-trip takes more than 1.5 MB traffic. All the scripts and other static resources are being downloaded over and over again. Browser cache doesn’t really work because of secure connection limitations. HTTPS requests are not being cached on client side. Probably because of custom SSL certificate.
Anyway, I have decided to give a try to Vue.js and dramatically refactor whole application front end.
Long story short: I have successfully managed it. Performance has been definitely increased. Back end API improved, better structured and even simplified at important points.
Here are the problems to solve when switching from classic web to SPA (single-page application):
Me 2019: Professional software developer (Java, Web, business applications). Using both Mac and Windows computers for work and at home.
MacBook Pro vs. diverse Windows desktops, notebooks, tablets.
vs.
MacBook is sufficient for work (software development) and has much more convenient hardware as any Windows PC.
Today I definitely prefer MacBook for work.

It’s time to find The Front-end Framework!
Create an issue tracking system inspired by Jira™.
Actually, same as Jira™, but with improvements:
Use existing open tools for name generation. Do not invent a name.
Species name generator → Mizoine
Use existing open tools for icon generation.
Identicon generator: generate your identicon avatar
Create new Maven project or open a Java project and add Maven Nature to it.
When you add new dependencies to the project (in pom.xml), Eclipse automatically downloads all required libraries (in JAR files) into Maven repository and sets appropriate links to the files in the project build path.
So the application can be started directly from Eclipse in standard way: Use “Run as Java application” menu item for your main class.
We will not use “Export to runnable JAR file” function of the Eclipse to create a JAR for our application. We will create this file using Maven ‘install’ goal instead. Continue reading
