We need to find a way so that bots cannot spam creating accounts. Probably can use reCAPTCHA: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html

May need to find a way to stop bots from spamming other APIs too. Might do that later or keep it in as a stock bot is pretty cool.

After bringing in DataTables, we do not need a lot of old code. They should be removed from the code base.

Some reason Firefox and Safari keep doing API calls to get the stock symbol map - thus making the application SUPER slow and unusable.

Such as how many requests in a day or week or of all time. Or how many users logged in in a day. Probably would have to use logs.

Error message is not styled. Should have an icon or background to denote there has been an error.

The Ajax call should not hang the page..

Possibly use pythonanywhere.com

When searching then sorting columns, the sorting will display all stock rows, not just the searched rows

Reinitializing the table is ok if it does not reset the table to page 1. It should only change the values that the user sees..

We may have to make it not reinitialize the table at all. Will need to think of better solutions

The server should build the table for the user, not rely on giving information to the client and having the client build the table.

Errors should be shown to the user when an error occurs.

When a table is updated, the whole table is reloaded - we should find a way to update the table without doing so. By just updating the numbers, the user experience is better as the table/pagination won't get reset

When a user tries to logout before the calls for the stock symbol map or user data finishes, the user will be redirected back to the application and the user is not logged out.

When buying (and maybe selling?) stock

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_of_unstyled_content

When we load the web page, the content is not styled for an instance. We should get rid of this for a better customer experience. (The page should only display once it is styled, not before).

Currently using things like "theApp". This should be changed to be more fitting

When getting the timeout delays for the stock symbol map, chrome always calculates a negative delay. Probably due to the lastUpdatedDate not containing the time zone.

I already got rid of letting the user choose number of records per page. We basically just want the search bar and the table. We need to make it look good.

5cb2b3b

When searching using numbers, we get results that should not be there. Probably has something to do with the regular expressions used in the search.

Selling all the stocks you have of a particular company will still keep a record in the database - thus still showing up in the profile table with "0" as the quantity. It should not be in the database or table at all.

When the userInfo loads before the stocksSymbolMap, we will get a javascript error trying to load the user's profile table since we have not gotten the stocksSymbolMap yet (which would be undefined).

Stuff like Control + Tab to switch tabs

Password reset needs to be implemented

Buy a new stock from the stocks table. The new stock will not be added to the profile table unless you refresh the page. This is because the profile table only updates the symbols that already exist in it. This should be fixed.

Currently, we just use a static list of stock symbols in parsed_symbols.json. We should set up a CRON job to grab a list of stock symbols daily. This is low priority though.

To help prevent brute force attacks

The entire DataTables plugin is in the code base right now. Including all of it is increasing the latency a lot. Will need to only import what is needed.

Login error message should be displayed on the login page. Currently brings the user to another page.

https://datatables.net/reference/api/row().child()

Users may want to know what prices they bought their stocks at. If they bought the stock at more than 1 price, we would need a way to display all of the different prices they bought it as.

Needs to be added to login page. Should be toggled/not shown when the user clicks "Don't have an account? Create one here." and should reappear when the user clicks "Already have an account? Login here."

userInfo.stocks_owned is returning undefined when the user doesn't own any stocks.

Yahoo has a delay on stock information from NASDAQ (15 minutes). It may be better to find another source of information for real time data. Also, finding historic data would be very useful too.

Possibly use https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/

Required.

While loading the tables, the client should show spinners to indicate they are loading.

When the user info or stock map is updated, update the stock info page too
