Future of this project

[h16nning]

When I find more time, I'll write some more detailed and well-formulated thoughts on this, but this is where I think the project should move towards:

1. Make the DB syncable using Dexie Cloud (their free / dexie cloud production offers may be just enough for this project)

2. Offer desktop client using Tauri.

3. Move away from Firebase (gh pages should be the easiest transition and may be just enough)

4. and 2. are somewhat working under experimental/tauri, but without any testing or further considerations

• How well does Tauri work with IndexedDB and Dexie → seems to work, but how persistent is storage really?
• Possible conflicts will arise from syncing, how does Dexie handle these? Db transactions probably need to be used more consequentially.

In general I want to keep this as an offline-first PWA though. But syncing will need to become somewhat necessary for Safari users as storage is not reliably persistent, even for PWAs (during inactivity). Furthermore my focus during this year will lie mostly on
a. improving the core experience (writing, scheduling and reviewing cards),
b. gamification features intended for casual users (like xp, audiovisual feedback etc.), keep option to turn these off for minimalistic experience, more thougths on this are needed,
c. implementing currently disabled features again (like moving decks),
c. undo / redo options and
d. code cleanup

At this moment I cannot say how much my time I will actually find to dedicat to this project in the short-term, but you can definitely expect further development in the future.

After some struggles with the config and basePaths 😅, Skola is now accessible under the custom domain skola.cards (hosted using gh-pages). Firebase is a thing of the past! skola.web.app won't work anymore.
