This pull request introduces significant improvements to both the documentation and user interface of the ByteHive project. The README.md has been completely rewritten to provide a more engaging introduction, detailed feature breakdowns, and clear setup instructions. The dashboard UI has been streamlined for simplicity, with the event panel moved to a dedicated page, unnecessary controls hidden, and several style and layout enhancements. Additionally, the default configuration has been updated for clarity and better real-world usage, including more comprehensive file exclusion patterns for the file sync app.

Documentation and Onboarding Improvements

  • Rewrote README.md with a new logo, clearer feature sections, badges, and improved quick start and documentation links to better communicate the project's purpose and usage.

Dashboard UI/UX Enhancements

  • Hid the API token input, "Connect" button, and "Portal" button from the dashboard header, simplifying the interface and reducing potential confusion. [1] [2] [3]
  • Moved the events panel from a sidebar to a dedicated "Events" page, accessible via a new sidebar navigation item; added new styles and controls for event filtering and display. [1] [2] [3]
  • Adjusted header and sidebar layout for a more compact and modern appearance, including font size tweaks and spacing adjustments. [1] [2]

Configuration and Defaults Updates

  • Updated config.toml to set a more typical filesync root directory, improved the default log level from debug to info, and refreshed the known clients list. [1] [2] [3]
  • Added comprehensive default exclude_patterns and exclude_regex for the filesync app, covering common noise files and directories for Python, Rust, C/C++, Node.js, and general OS/editor artifacts.

Minor Content and Messaging Updates

  • Clarified onboarding and connection instructions in the dashboard welcome message.
  • Updated event panel logic and navigation handling in client-side scripts to reflect UI changes. [1] [2] [3]
