Alright, let's see how many bugs I missed. This is a big release 🎁

This month's NetAlertX release includes three big new features: In-app user notifications, Plugin unloading with the LOADED_PLUGINS setting (making the app much faster), and a new Sync Hub (🧪) plugin. This will enable you to synchronize data from otherwise unscannable LANs/VLANs into one NetAlertX instance. Read the guide here.

Also, you can now get Reconnected devices notifications 📶 of devices that trigger down alerts.

Thank you to everyone in the community helping with this release, especially @vladaurosh 🙏 who helped me keep the docker image small even with the need for some of the cryptography libraries for the new functionality.

I also scored the @NetAlertX Twitter handle, let's see if I'll use it 😅
