Collectivist is another approach to CDJ Messenger with a cleaner design and better code

Hey 👋

I’m Slava — a JavaScript Developer by day, and a .NET enthusiast by night.

When time allows for it, I write. My blog is best known for these three:

collectivist's Issues

"undefined" in message log for new installs

Cause: File does not exist on fresh installs and the manipulating of the would-be string causes this issue

Fix: Handle error properly and return a friendly message.

Change password from interface

Reference to #7

After password change, all tokens MUST be destroyed and a relog must be forced.

git pull erases message log

The repository contains an empty msglog.html which is empty and seems to overwrite the used message log when running git pull.

It is to be noted that msglog.html is not a permanent solution to logging messages. I am either planning to the log to a .json file however the issue will remain anyways.

The planned fix is going to be to remove it from the repo and make collectivist automatically create it if it is missing.

Using an image causes all fields to be undefined.

Issue: Upload an image, causes all fields to be "undefined"

Possible Cause: Escaping it messes everything up. Cannot be unescaped due to security issues in the way it is embedded.

Possibly fixable by completing issue #2

data directory

Create new data directory which will contain all user data which will not be publicly accessible such as profile pictures (#8), custom css and other settings.

Show when a user is typing

Store images in files instead of base64 data

Handle all threads and dialogs with anchor links

http://website.com#abc123 should open the thread with the id of abc123.

Exceptions should be made for the donate, settings, image and other dialogs.

Set profile picture

Long overdue, allow uploading a custom profile picture.

Requirements:

• Handle all standard image types including gifs
• Check if it is infact an image (proper error reporting)
• Crop/resize to 35x35

Referencing #7

Profile Mangement

This is a central issue for all which will reference this issue.

Gonna try using milestones for this one.
