KISSmetrics for PHP

KISSmetrics PHP client that doesn't overuse the singleton pattern and has a slightly better API and no built-in cron support (that's a feature). Here's how to use it:

$km = new KISSmetrics\Client('API key', KISSmetrics\Transport\Sockets::initDefault()); // Initialize

$km->identify('[email protected]')   // Identify user (always)
  ->alias('old-anonymous-cookie')  // Alias to previously anonymous user, maybe
  ->set(array('gender' => 'male')) // Set some property
  ->record('Viewed thing');        // Record an event, optionally with properties

$km->submit(); // Submit all that to KISSmetrics in one go

In case of errors this thing throws a KISSmetrics\ClientException so if you have a fire-and-forget attitude to these metrics just try/catch those. Though it's helpful when you want to make sure everything is setup correctly!

baron's Issues

Automatically establish text chat connections

Instead of showing the offer/answer process to the user, try to automatically establish a data channel to user's contacts.

Store conversations in browser's memory, and allow synchronization on start-up.

Support /me and /emote

It is basic functionality for a chat client to have a basic emote function.

Handle multiple socket.io connections of the same user

Currently the last socket.io connection of a user to be established takes place in the user.sid property, and whenever a connection is closed, the sid will be set to null, even if the user is still online in a different tab.

This probably requires using an array for the sid property, and using socket.io rooms (user == room, all user's connections join a room, dispatch messages to user to that room).

Draw attention to messages and calls

Through sounds and a blinking document title. Needs to go away when document is focused.

Remove static from audio ping and convert to .ogg

The .wav ping file is too large and has audible static hiss above 11 kHz.

Handle conflicting state when both peers call each other at the same time

The fix at e36c842 didn't actually work because the accept callback passed to the event handler is inherently bound to the old peer connection.

Make it work with browsers other than Firefox

Introduce abstractions that would choose available prefixes for WebRTC objects and handle browser-specific quirks.

Add support for automatic hyperlinks

Fix getting stuck in "ringing" state if correspondent goes offline or denies offer

Currently the Contact object for the correspondent will stay in the "trying to connect" stay unless the user on the other end accept the offer in some way. Of course, if the other user declines the offer, or leaves the site, no feedback will be sent to the original caller.

For going offline, the solution is simple. Just reset the peer state as if on hangup. The offer to the other user will be lost anyway.

For declined offers, it's more complicated. If we implement a simple timeout on our end, after which we would reset the peer state, the other user might try to send us an answer to the offer at a later time, which would throw an invalid state exception and do nothing else.

Perhaps declines would need to be transferred through the signaling channel as well.

Hardcoded address for the Socket.io client

The address to which the Socket.io client will try to connect is hardcoded, and cannot currently be set through environmental variables (ideal solution).

Introduce blocking of contacts

Add a UI action to block a contact, which would put the contact in a special state, removing it from the contacts list of the blocker and of the blocked person, and preventing any further contact requests to be shown to the blocker in the future.

Make contact lists and users persistent

Move data to a persistent database instead of storing them in memory. Currently a lot of pointers are being thrown around.
