Code structure

Modules should have their own specific API. When a module currently requires to send messages, the API should reflect semantics instead of providing the module a way to just carry raw messages. For example, there are currently modules able to send messages (with a very simple MessageToSend message API), but instead of dealing with raw messages that need to be built inside the module, the API should be more semantic such as ChangePassword new-password.

Once modules will have specific APIs, the entire state of the application could be moved into a single module (or component). Thus, every state modification can be handled in a single place.

Minor modifications:

explanations and static content in general should be written using some kind of templates, not directly in Halogen

Features

Delegation:

new RR record: the "delegation record", effectively removing all other RRs => requires 2 nameservers
also enable to change NS records (but after a accepting the consequences)?

About the admin interface:

enable administrators to ask for users' info and show zones
perform a few more administrative operations (TBD)

Slightly more complex features to implement:

zone-wise indications to help people configure their zone for specific uses (web, mail)

Tests

Check for common errors:

nodes with both a CNAME and another RR
verify that SPF mechanisms point to available records

More specialized tests or debug options:

verify the length of received messages in App.Message.IPC
MAYBE: run named-checkzone on the genetared zone and provide the result in case of an error

Display

say that there is no IPv6 on the server at the moment, so there is no point doing IPv6 address updates
admin interface: basically just rewrite the whole thing, it's a mess

Details:

maybe notifications should disappear after a few seconds
hide logs by default?

General note

The code should be reviewed and a decent documentation should be provided.

Right now, the code is still in a somewhat early stage and multiple refactoring should take place.

Some code should be pushed in the bulma purescript module.

TODO in authd and dnsmanagerd

enable users to change their NS
