In other words, verify the privileges client-side before issuing an request to the server. This commit focuses on routing (e.g. clicking a link while not logged in), rather than DOM element visibility that should be already taken care of.
This repository is under the process of being rewritten. Stay tuned! You can check the current progress on client here and server here.
The reasons behind this rewrite include:
- Improving user experience: better upload form, larger thumbnails, making top navigation stay out of user way. Maybe other goodies!
- Finally having good, well-documented REST API.
- Simplifying user registration.
- Replacing PHP with Python 3.5.
- Replacing prior JS mess with proper MVC.
- Replacing MySQL (MariaDB) with Postgres.
- Replacing
composer,npm,mod_rewrite(=Apache),imagick,ffmpegorgnashandpdo_mysqlwith justpip,npmandffmpeg. - Replacing
gruntwithnpmscripts. - Making hosting more flexible: offer simple self hosted application that can be combined with any reverse proxy.
