I have spent this time integrating authentication into the app and making a small home page from which to manage client connections and projects.

There has also been a structural change. Until now when loading a file into the client, on request, the client would open a file picker window using tkinter, but this caused a lot of bugs, as tkinter has to run on the main thread, and in general, blocking the entire server until you picked a file was not good, so instead I made it work more traditionally, by having a file picker open on the web interface and uploading a file there before sending it to the client, and its really much better, the client server isn’t stuck waiting for you to pick a file and also it allows for the client to be on another machine, like a powerful server and you just sending the relevant model files to it.

It was still a slow crawl, I had to chew trough a lot of bugs with the authentication, as I implemented a middleware protection system, that blocks any requests that come from an unauthorized user, both for the client and webInterface, making the app fiarly secure, atleast by my standards.

Now that I have client connections done with a nice UI to add new clients and stuff, I will occupy myself with loading, exporting and managing project files.
