TODOs

1. Functional event emit modal
2. Add events and socket.io URL to page URL so that it can be shared with set inputs

4. Store history of emits - and can be re-sent in just one click

7. Show socket.id somewhere in the UI (easy to copy)
8. Helper links/buttons to add basic socketio events like reconnect, etc.
9. Page titles should show the socket.io connection urls
10. Clear button on panels
11. Emit buttons on panel headers - which will prefill the emit form's message input field
