Warhorse Social Backend

State of where I'm at:

• Rust frontend using Dioxus + Tailwind + rust_socketio
• Rust backend using axum + socketioxide
• Windows Platform
  • Overlay any window, toggle with Shift + F
• Most friends related communication working
• Only tested locally hosted

Major components left:

• Create an example multiplayer Bevy app that spins up a sub process (the overlay app)
  • Need to be able to invite and join friends to server (probably extend a lightyear example game)
• Since I switched to Tailwind, just a bunch of styling in general
• Chat rooms: Create, Leave, Join, auto destroy when empty (think old school Battle.net in Starcraft 1)
• Authentication
  • Need at least Steam and Discord auth
• Database
  • Probably just use a simple key-value store instead of full SQL, probably Redis w/ persistence
    • Why Redis? Because socketioxide has a Redis adapter on the way that I'd like to use, so we already will have it
• Assist rust_socketio crate with getting it working with WASM

This looks cool, how can I setup and test this locally?

I was confused for a bit, because the devs of KCD are Warhorse Studios. For a moment I though there will be a cryengine backend in Bevy 😂
