[Enhancement]: Reorganize projects + repo

[mrjvs]

Checked Existing

• I have checked the repository for duplicate issues.

What enhancement would you like to see?

Right now, juxt has two repositories:

• Miiverse-API -- The Olive API used by the console and games to interact with miiverse. interacts directly with DB.
• Juxtaposition-UI -- The 3ds/wiiu/web UI codebases written in express. Interact directly with DB.

The projects will be restructured slightly:

• One monorepo (this repo) that holds both projects, for good co-location.
• Miiverse-API will be renamed to Juxt-API. It will hold both a json API and the Olive API.
• Juxtaposition will be renamed to Juxt-UI. It will hold the three express based frontends, but call the Json API for it's data.

We can place the projects at:

• /apps/juxt-api
• /apps/juxt-ui

This is to follow the monorepo normalized convention of using /apps for runnable projects and /packages for libraries

Any other details to share? (OPTIONAL)

I disagree with some of this. There is a reason why the UI code and the in-game API server were split. The Miiverse API is NOT used by the Miiverse applications, they are purely used by 3rd party titles. It has no actual relevance to Juxtaposition outside of sharing the same data source, you can (and should be able to) run the Miiverse API without relying on the rest of Juxtaposition. It also isn't a "Juxt API", it's the Miiverse API. It was named that for a reason, an API used by the Miiverse apps for Juxtaposition and the API used by games are 2 different concepts. I don't really see the reason as to why you would want to merge them, since they would function completely differently. The only thing I can see this "improving" is not having to create an additional database connection, but imo that's hardly reason enough?

Additionally, "Juxt" is not supposed to be used as a name for Juxtaposition in any official means. It's a shorthand/nickname we sometimes use, but when referring to the project in an official manner the full name should always be used

Responding here to your question on Discord about how to proceed with this. Yes, the folders need to be renamed. Additionally, I'm fine with this becomming a monorepo (as much as I hate monorepos), but the Miiverse/Olive API and the Juxtaposition-specific API should be separated. They are different concepts with different targets and different requirements. The only thing they share is a data source, that's all they have in common (one is a standardized API used across many titles, which would apply to all Miiverse replacements even outside of us, and one is specifically designed for Juxtaposition and it's usecase), so they shouldn't be mixed together imo
