[REPO] Code organization/refactoring

[AdsanTheGreat]

Currently, the crate's structure is very monolithic - only themes are extracted from main, and main is over 2300 lines long. It's hard to get a grasp of the project right now, and it would also get exponentially harder to work on it as it grows. I think for maintainability, it should be split into separate files - rendering does not have to be in the same place as input handling (which should probably be extracted from the main function), cli, or any utility functions that might appear along the way.

While I could propose such a layout in a PR, I think such refactorings should be left to @hanebox as the owner and original author.

Yes sure... this would help so much for the continuity of the project. I've built some Telegram bots in the past and your suggestion is pretty similar to that structure, which is really nice. Do you have Discord? Maybe we could continue there?

Moving out of here does kinda defeat the reason for having a "discussions" forum in the first place. It is also helpful in our case, as we live literally on the opposite sites of the world - thus a forum/mailing list format fits way better. If you really want to move out of the platform, drop me an email (look in bio) and we can work from there.

It is fairly canonical for rust (and not only) projects to follow a fragmented module structure. In this case, for now it should be enough to just split into simple modules, with no need of subdirectories (submodules) or anything like that.

I agree with that. I was thinking a quick chat would be good because there might be a lot tiny idea dumps. Dumping everything here feels kind of spammy and slow, but sure yeah, we could continue here.

Something like handlers.rs and render.rs?

Done, should be much more easier to grasp now
