d-side / rtc-chat Goto Github PK

There's an idea about adding multiple content types for a message. Namely, sending pictures.

• Add message types (see if MIME can be used for that, I don't want to invent another "standard")
• Decide on whether pics will be displayed as Blobs or data:-URLs (or both?)
  • Blobs sound more practical right now, since they're guaranteed not to be insanely long
• Implement picture uploads

I'm not using it anyway, so there's no point to keep it in the project.

A possibility is style sharing between Reagent views and Garden stylesheets, but I'm not sure it's feasible.

All JS dependencies should be handled properly. Of these Bower currently only fetches rtc. I don't mind leaving SkyBlue as-is, with Bower, but properly packaging JS deps should drastically reduce build sizes and therefore download times. Currently builds are about a megabyte each.

• Prepare externs for rtc, as primitive as they currently are
• Get the project to compile with :optimizations :advanced
• Contribute the package to CLJSJS (why not? the hard part would be done by then)

The simple way

• Announce the names of each other when the connection is established
• Provide a nickname input field (possibly within a popup)
• Broadcast nickname changes
• Display names in the participants' list

Pitfall: easy to impersonate

The less convenient way

• Display names in the participant list alongside their channel ids
• (?) Hash channel ids into colors and use them for displaying names

The bleeding-edge way

• Generate a pub-pri key pair using the new Crypto API
• Establish a localstorage-persisted address book of publickey-name pairs
  • ...and a way to add users there, of course
• Show an icon near those whose identity has been proven
