RuView: Project Structure Reorganization
The RuView codebase underwent a structural refactor, moving the frontend web UI from a top-level directory to the examples folder to better reflect its role as a demonstration component rather than a primary deliverable.

Good morning, I'm your host with the RuView development update for Friday, May 28th, 2026.
Today we have one significant structural change to report. Developer ruv committed a refactoring that moves the frontend directory to examples/frontend/. This relocates the Lit plus Vite HOMECORE web UI, which was previously positioned as a top-level component.
The reasoning behind this change is architectural clarity. The web UI serves as an example consumer of RuView's sensing stack rather than a core deliverable. By moving it under the examples directory, it now sits alongside other sensor and dashboard demonstrations, providing a clearer picture of the project's hierarchy.
The commit affected 26 files in total, primarily file relocations with no code changes. The team also updated the examples README to include documentation for the relocated frontend, ensuring discoverability for developers exploring the demonstration components.
This type of organizational refactor suggests the RuView project is maturing and establishing clearer boundaries between core functionality and example implementations. It's a common pattern as projects grow and need to distinguish between production components and demonstration code.
Looking ahead, this restructuring likely sets the stage for additional example implementations and may indicate upcoming core API changes. The cleaner separation should also make it easier for new contributors to understand which components are essential versus illustrative.
That's your RuView update for today. We'll be back Monday with more development activity.
