AWS-ready

[elifouts]

This pull request updates the project to use the new production domain devbits.app instead of the previous devbits.ddns.net, and adds support for platform integration and compliance (such as account deletion and app linking). It also improves backend deployment and static asset handling, and updates documentation and configuration for AWS and systemd-based deployments. The most important changes are summarized below:

Production Domain Migration:

• Switched all references from devbits.ddns.net to devbits.app across environment files, frontend/backend scripts, CORS origins, and user-facing messages. This ensures all environments and deployments use the new production domain. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Platform Compliance and Static Asset Support:

• Added static files for platform integration: apple-app-site-association (iOS universal links), assetlinks.json (Android app links), and a public account-deletion.html page for user data deletion requests. These are now served directly by the backend. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Backend Deployment and Configuration:

• Added a sample systemd service unit for backend deployment and an improved .env.example for AWS/RDS setups, including CORS origins and admin secrets. [1] [2]
• Updated Dockerfile to copy static assets and adjusted docker-compose.yml to remove the Nginx service, simplifying deployment (static assets are now served by the Go backend). [1] [2] [3]

Documentation Updates:

• Updated README.md to reference new backend AWS deployment instructions.

Code Improvements:

• Improved backend logic for URL scheme detection in uploads, and for resolving admin UI/static asset directories. [1] [2]

These changes collectively modernize the deployment, improve platform compatibility, and ensure regulatory compliance for user data handling.

Pull request overview

Migrates the project’s production domain defaults to devbits.app and updates deployment to support an AWS/systemd “native Go binary” path with backend-served static compliance/app-link assets.

Changes:

• Replaced devbits.ddns.net with devbits.app across frontend config, scripts, and backend CORS defaults.
• Added native AWS deploy tooling (build script, systemd unit templating, deploy wrappers) and simplified Docker deployment by removing nginx.
• Added/served static files needed for app linking and compliance (AASA, assetlinks, privacy policy, account deletion) directly from the Go backend.

frontend/components/FadeInImage.tsx:1

• handleLoadEnd no longer forwards the event argument to the caller’s onLoadEnd, which is a behavior change for any consumer relying on the load event payload. Keep the callback signature as (event) => { ...; onLoadEnd?.(event); } so callers still receive the event data.
  frontend/app/(tabs)/index.tsx:1
• Casting transform to as any largely defeats the benefit of adding ViewStyle typing and can mask real type errors in the animated style. Prefer a narrower cast (e.g. to the specific transform type) or adjust the style typing so the transform array is accepted without any.
