gossip needs rearchitecting before you can really fix it. the imgui library you used is pretty good but probably as a systems programmer, you struggle with UX, and probably, like me, especially with UI systems based on javascript.

i can attest from my own experience, using LLMs to do architectural analysis based on domain driven design principles, leads to a much easier to work with, cleaner codebase, that is easier to extend. i can only speculate that you have put that project to the side because it grew excessively complex.
