full rewrite

[ashkitten]

this project is full of old code i don't like. i'd like to get back and rewrite it at some point. a rewrite would:

• remove udev dependency (why was this introduced? i don't actually remember. it seems the project used to use hidapi...)
• make cli more functional. being able to set lights and stuff would be great, and make responses machine readable and consistent
• not be a steaming pile of garbage code lol

I did manage to get the "set lights" functionality to work, but the source changes are on an older OS install that isn't super accessible.

That being said, I'd be happy to lend a hand or at least help test.

awesome. i have ideas for how to rewrite the backend (possibly can use hidapi again for cross-platformability!) but i'm not sure how the cli should look like and i'm not happy with the cli parsing code right now.
