Summary
Improve the web application settings dialog with several UX improvements:
-
Connection name setting: Add a string setting "Connection name" in the web application settings. Default value should be qownnotes-<sessionname>-<hostname>. This name is sent to the server so connected peers can see which desktop is connected.
-
Connection test button: Add a "Test connection" button in the web application settings that tests whether the WebSocket connection to the server is working and shows the result to the user.
-
Show all connected devices: In the web application settings, show a list of all devices currently connected to the same token/room on the server.
-
Remove multiple device warning: Remove the warning dialog that appears when more than 2 connections use the same token (both in QOwnNotes desktop and the web-app server). Instead, the connected devices list makes this information visible without being intrusive.
Motivation
- The current multiple-device warning is confusing, especially for users who intentionally use QOwnNotes on multiple machines or browsers.
- It's useful to know what devices are currently connected to make it easy to identify and manage sessions.
- A connection name helps identify which QOwnNotes instance is which.
- A connection test button improves discoverability and reduces support friction.
