[Feature] Allow https://domain.name:port in lieu of IP address

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm unable to use this application because it does not accept a domain name in the IP field.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement support to specify a domain name instead of an IP.

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives are possible. If a server is running multiple web services that need access to port 80 or 443, then requests can be rerouted based on the specific domain name used to access that server. A common approach is to redirect web traffic based on the domain name used to access the server. This works without issue for most applications, which do not try to access servers directly by their IP address.

I will implement your requests. It will be available in the next update

Awesome, thanks. However, I misunderstood that the IP address is referring to the reMarkable, and not to the cloud server! I forgot that this application connects directly to the tablet. This feature would not be useful to me, but it could be some others.

Since this uses SSH, I think it should be possible to specify a port for ssh and the domain name and pass that directly to ssh... I see no need to restrict it to IP addresses. In fact it would be ideal to use the SSH alias so that .ssh/config can handle authentication.

Also, I found that the application crashed if I clicked the "show password" button or tried to connect. I had to 'add a device' and connect that way. Then the application says it needs to migrate data (migrate? From where to where? I don't want my data moved) and says "An Error occured. See log file"

It does not say where the log file is.
