Change module name and restructure contentv0.1.2
The repository names for soundbox are named as below: - app: soundbox-app - Go library module: soundbox-go - Device: soundbox The Go module names were: - app: xengineering.eu/soundbox/app - Go library module: xengineering.eu/soundbox This does not make clear which module is related to which repository since the names are different. Thus it should be changed to: - app: xengineering.eu/soundbox-app - Go library module: xengineering.eu/soundbox-go The import statement for the library is then: import "xengineering.eu/soundbox-go/soundbox" This is a bit longer but it keeps the property that the library is referenced inside the code by the simple name `soundbox`.
