I want to audit the overall structure of this entire application and decide whether we're recreating any wheels. Like, because I am going to want, you know, to make some style updates
in the future, etc. And there are several problems, I think, that are probably just because we're kind of wild westing the front end. Because I don't totally know what I'm doing.
But I just want to make sure that the app is coherent, like structurally, and that we're not recreating any major wheels that's causing us tech debt pain. And then afterwards, we can
get into how to fix the examples that are evident from the image. For example, the fact that some of the things don't have icons, so we need a way to probably make a map somewhere to
file names that we can copy into the Docker file. Like basically just backfill the logo discovery. Or like make up for failure to discover a logo for a given third party. Also, I don't
think we should remain like because we want this to be as interpretable to normies as possible, So the fact that we're showing the reverse namespacing for each radial item seems a bit
confusing. For example, we have app.bsky instead of bsky.app. You know, when the third party is known not by the reverse namespace, but the normal reading of their domain / identity
⏺ i'll help you audit the application structure and identify these issues. let me start by understanding the overall architecture.

⏺ okay, i've reviewed the entire application structure. let me give you a comprehensive audit:
architectural analysis
current structure
backend (rust):
├── actix-web server
├── oauth handling
├── html templates (embedded as string literals)
└── session management
frontend (vanilla js):
├── app.js (main app logic)
├── login.js (login page + atmosphere)
├── onboarding.js (tutorial system)
└── css (embedded in html templates)
major issues identified
1. significant code duplication
the fetchAppAvatar() function is completely duplicated:
- app.js:9-38 (for user's apps)
- login.js:78-99 (for atmosphere orbs)
this is the biggest "recreated wheel" - you're maintaining identical logic in two places.
2. reverse namespace display (your screenshot issue)
app.js:201 displays raw namespace:
${namespace}
this shows app.bsky instead of bsky.app. needs a display name mapper.
3. missing logo fallback system
currently falls back to first letter (app.js:197). no static mapping for known apps. when logo discovery fails, you get generic circles.
4. css architecture
- all css embedded in rust string literals (templates.rs)
- same styles duplicated between login and app pages
- no css variables reused across pages
- ~700 lines of css in template strings
5. template system
using rust string literals with format!() instead of:
- proper template engine (askama, tera, handlebars)
- or even separate html files
6. no build system
- vanilla js (which is fine!)
- but means no:
- typescript
- css preprocessing
- code splitting
- minification
not necessarily problems
these are intentional choices (wild west, but coherent):
- ✅ vanilla js (lightweight, no framework overhead)
- ✅ server-side rendering (fast initial load)
- ✅ no build step (simple deployment)
structural coherence: 6/10
good:
- clean separation between rust backend + js frontend
- consistent coding style
- logical file organization
needs work:
- code duplication
- embedded templates/css
- no shared constants
⏺ logo/icon handling deep dive
current discovery mechanism
fetchAppAvatar() attempts to discover logos dynamically:
1. reverse namespace: app.bsky → bsky.app
2. try as bluesky handle: bsky.app
3. fallback: bsky.app.bsky.social
4. fetch profile avatar from bluesky api
this fails when:
- app has no bluesky account
- handle doesn't match namespace
- account exists but has no avatar
fallback: first letter in circle (app.js:197)
backfill strategy
here's what i recommend:
option 1: static mapping file (recommended)
create /static/app-registry.js:
// well-known apps with static metadata
export const APP_REGISTRY = {
'app.bsky': {
displayName: 'Bluesky',
logo: '/static/logos/bluesky.svg',
url: 'https://bsky.app'
},
'xyz.statusphere': {
displayName: 'Statusphere',
logo: '/static/logos/statusphere.svg',
url: 'https://statusphere.xyz'
},
'blue.2048': {
displayName: '2048',
logo: '/static/logos/2048.svg',
url: 'https://2048.blue'
},
// ... more apps
};
// helper to get display name (normal reading order)
export function getDisplayName(namespace) {
if (APP_REGISTRY[namespace]) {
return APP_REGISTRY[namespace].displayName;
}
// reverse namespace as fallback
return namespace.split('.').reverse().join('.');
}
then fetch logos at build time and copy to static/logos/
option 2: logo cdn fallback
use a service like:
- https://logo.clearbit.com/${domain} (clearbit)
- https://unavatar.io/${domain} (unavatar)
- https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=${domain}&sz=128 (google)
option 3: hybrid approach (best)
1. check static registry first
2. try bluesky avatar discovery
3. try logo cdn
4. fallback to first letter
would you like me to implement any of these? also, should i tackle the reverse namespace display issue first since that's immediately visible in your screenshot?

> Can you create tangled issues for the most critical things? The body should support markdown, by the way. So feel free to bucket things appropriately. So like the big issues should
get their own issue, but then like classes of, you know, more trivial stuff can all go in the same issue. Just use your judgment.
And don't necessarily pin to specific ways of solving the problem, just be problem oriented. Like, that's what issues are for, right?

⏺ created 4 issues in your tangled repo:
1. code duplication: fetchAppAvatar implemented twice - the biggest technical debt, same function in two files
2. display issues: reverse namespace + missing logo fallback - the user-facing problems from your screenshot (app.bsky vs bsky.app, missing logos)
3. architecture: css and html embedded in rust string literals - the maintenance burden of having ~700 lines of css/html as rust strings
4. polish: minor ux and code quality improvements - bucketed all the smaller stuff (shared constants, error handling, magic numbers)
the issues are problem-focused without prescribing solutions. feel free to tackle them in whatever order makes sense - i'd probably start with #2 since it's most visible to users,
but #1 is the easiest win.
