Gleaming Wails: Setting up periodic check of backend status | Always Developing #244

Live coding an app with Gleam, Lustre, Go and Wails.

In this session I get started on the real rewrite of the Snippet Expander UI to use Gleam.
First thing I tackle is getting the UI to ask the backend whether the Snippet Expander Daemon is running. Once that is working, I set it up as a periodic check using a timer.
