[UX] Make it more clear if it can connect to the IP

Continuing from my comment here:

I found the UI/UX to be kinda confusing. I thought the green indicator on a connection means it can connect to that IP/client. But instead it's only an indicator if it successfully resolved the IP for a hostname.

Are the incoming connections shown in the screenshot in the README still a thing? This also confused me because I couldn't figure out why it wasn't appearing.

Also I think there should be some kind of indicator in the UI when it tries to connect but fails. In my scenario the only indication why it didn't work was a log message in the terminal saying client not responding and ignoring events from client on the other side

Yeah, I agree. It would probably make sense to make it green if it is connected or orange if there is a connection failure. As for the "incoming connection" tab: That is a new thing that is in no release yet.
