This is to let user log in if their login cookie is broken (for example when it refers to a non existing user). Normally, the client should treat errors caused by cookie logins as temporary server failures, inform the user about it and leave the cookie, so that when the server is up again, all user needs to do is to reload the page rather than logging again.
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.
