feat: Implement deep linking functionality

This commit introduces deep linking capabilities to the application.

- Added `DeepLinkActivity` to handle incoming deep links and navigate users to the appropriate content within the app.
- Created `DeepLinkUtils` to provide utility functions for parsing and creating deep link URIs.
- Updated `MainActivity` to receive and process deep link data from `DeepLinkActivity`.
- Modified `ChatRouterScreen` and its `ViewModel` to handle navigation based on deep link parameters.
- Updated `AndroidManifest.xml` to include intent filters for `DeepLinkActivity` to capture relevant URL schemes and paths.
- Added `assetlinks.json` and `README_APP_LINKS.md` to support Android App Links verification.
- Changed the `applicationId` in `app/build.gradle.kts` from "chat.revolt" to "chat.peptide".
- Renamed project in `.idea/.name` from "PEP" to "Revolt".
- Changed the default route in `ChatRouterScreen` from `Settings` to `Home`.

+# Android App Links Setup Instructions
+
+This document provides instructions for setting up Android App Links for the Revolt app.
+
+## What are Android App Links?
+
+Android App Links are HTTP URLs that bring users directly to specific content in your Android app. When a user clicks an App Link, the app opens immediately if it's installed, without showing the app chooser dialog.
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. Your app must have an intent filter that handles the specific URLs
+2. Your website must have a Digital Asset Links JSON file that verifies the association with your app
+
+## Steps to Complete the Setup
+
+### 1. Get your app's signing certificate fingerprint
+
+Run the following command to get your app's signing certificate fingerprint:
+
+```bash
+keytool -list -v -keystore your_keystore.jks -alias your_alias
+```
+
+Look for the SHA-256 fingerprint in the output. Remove all colons (:) from the fingerprint.
+
+### 2. Update the assetlinks.json file
+
+Open the `assetlinks.json` file in this directory and replace the placeholder with your actual SHA-256 fingerprint:
+
+```json
+[{
+  "relation": ["delegate_permission/common.handle_all_urls"],
+  "target": {
+    "namespace": "android_app",
+    "package_name": "chat.revolt",
+    "sha256_cert_fingerprints": [
+      "YOUR_SHA256_FINGERPRINT_HERE"
+    ]
+  }
+}]
+```
+
+### 3. Host the assetlinks.json file on your server
+
+Upload the `assetlinks.json` file to the following location on your server:
+
+```
+https://revolt.chat/.well-known/assetlinks.json
+https://app.revolt.chat/.well-known/assetlinks.json
+```
+
+Make sure the file is accessible via HTTPS and returns with Content-Type: application/json.
+
+### 4. Test your App Links
+
+Use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to test your App Links:
+
+```bash
+adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "https://revolt.chat/channels/CHANNEL_ID" chat.revolt
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If your App Links aren't working:
+
+1. Verify that the assetlinks.json file is accessible via HTTPS
+2. Check that the SHA-256 fingerprint in the assetlinks.json file matches your app's signing certificate
+3. Make sure your app is using the correct signing certificate
+4. Use the App Links Assistant in Android Studio to verify your App Links setup
+
+For more information, see the [Android App Links documentation](https://developer.android.com/training/app-links).
