Summary: Simplify how messages (state updates) are shown in Flipper UI. This main change was introduced as a way to show the 'Start' server button whenever we were in a disconnected state. This is not as simple as the server may be restarting or the client may be even have reset the WS connection. Hence you the experience where this UI is shown and immediately dismissed. This UI is only ever shown if at one point the server was alive, period. So, in this case, either the server becomes available again OR the user quits the PWA/tab/browser and launches again. IMHO, this is a better experience that totally assuming the server is dead. In a next iteration, we can be more clever and have a timeout such that if after a set period of time the server doesn't become online, then we show a button to start (or force kill) the server.

Flipper Desktop
This folder contains everything to run the Flipper 'Desktop', that is, the UI which you use to interact with the device / app under debug.
Packages provided here:
- flipper-common: utilities & types shared between client, server, and plugins
- flipper-server-core: all device & client management goes in here. Basically flipper's backend
- flipper-ui-core: all UI goes in here, as far as it doesn't depend on Electron
- app: the Electron app, will load flipper-server-core and flipper-ui-core, and glue them together, providing implementations for some electron specific stuff like dialogs
- flipper-server: A node process hosting flipper-server-core that can be connected to over websockets. Also, it can serve a browser version of the UI as well.
- flipper-ui-browser: thin wrapper around flipper-ui-core, providing some browser specific behavior / stubs.
- flipper-dump: (might remove later) as an alternative way to test flipper-server-core.
- flipper-plugin: The flipper SDK used by plugins. Exposes all API's that can be used by plugins
- pkg: CLI tool to manage building flipper plugins
- pkg-lib
- plugin-lib
