Refactoring ideas

TODO

• Different user accounts for admin panel:
  • Username + password hash in config
  • Commandline tool to generate hash
• Test email rendering!

Short term

• Split into seperate packages for server and frontend.
• Make admin panel part of new frontend package.
• Get rid of grunt.
• Bluebird for promises?
• Use generated type guards.

Mid term

• Typesafe db queries.
• Store node data in database and export it for gateways.
• Write tests (especially testing quirky node data).
• Allow terminating running tasks via bluebirds cancellation.

Long term

• Rewrite the admin interface (used lib is unmaintained).
• Rewrite the client in typescript (+ vue?).
• Replace the grunt build system.
• Decentralize node data.
