This commit introduces timer-less retry system: 1. Any change to URL is going to stop listening to any messages. 2. If a message is sent and there's no handler that could pick it up, the message gets enqueued. 3. The message is sent again to the first handler that attaches itself to given event type. While in theory this is full of holes (no control over the first handler), in practice, it works quite well. Additionally, views.listenToMessages was attaching to completely wrong DOM node; this commit fixes this as well.
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.
