We need to store quotes for occasions where the server crashes. We'll need this to store base-64 encoded images as well.

Postgres? Mongo/Parse? @yuhong90

We'll probably need to use local storage on the browser as well.

I was thinking of implementing a "shout board" kind of concept, which is more conversational. Currently the randomising of quotes sent to the board means lower visibility; users have not much control over what appears on the board. Also, we already have a quote bot created by someone in PAAS if I remember correctly.

I imagine it to work like "/shout anyone saw my mug at the pantry".

What do you think? @yuhong90

Any ideas how we can improve the view?

Right now all I'm thinking of is adding a sidebar to the view.

Also thinking of showing more quotes at once.

Perhaps store new submissions into another array in addition to the random quotes array

e.g.

function storeQuote(user, name, content, time, profilePic, photo) {...}

IMO it's better to use a single object now that the project is starting to get a little more complex.

let quote = { userId: '', userName: '' ...}
function storeQuote(quote) {...}

Need to make sure position:fixed works for the component and stick it at the bottom of the screen.

Thinking about how to organise the code and split out into several .js files.

Right off the bat we can split functions into another file, in which case we need a config object to pass common variables between external files. This would include the socket.io object and quote arrays we defined in telegram-bot.js.

Any comments?

Perhaps convert each image to base64 string for storage; that'll allow it to be cacheable by the browser too.
