A complete rewrite of the application
The goal of this rewrite was to create a more maintainable codebase from the original KubeView. Some choices that have been made in this rewrite include:
The rewrite originally used HTMX for fetching data and HTML fragments from the server. This worked but ended up unnecessarily complicated with so many interactions between the frontend and backend, esp with Cytoscape. The resulting code was also hard to follow and understand. As a result the current rewrite is more of an iteration of v1, the Vue.js code has been removed and replaced with a simpler static HTML/JS app that uses Alpine.js for interactivity. The backend API has been clear separation of concerns and now dynamically handles updates using SSE.
