Trashpad

Tools Used

• Materialize, for the frontend framework
• Flask, as always, for the backend framework
• FirePad, for the collaborative text editing, which was built with:
• FireBase, for storing data in a backend accessible to all users
• OT.js, for the real work of operational transformations
• CodeMirror, for an extensible and Firepad-friendly text editor
• Redis, via the RedisToGo Heroku extension, for persistence across servers

Currently To-Do:

• Make it more responsive (for phones) Was missing viewport header
• Get "copy link" working they way it should All done
• Remove the random favicon.ico error? Make this better eventually
• Why does it sometimes display "key not found"? Persistence, used Redis
• Figure out why it takes 10x as long to load on mobile-sized browsers??
  • It's literally just the iOS user agent??? Forced it to be Mozilla, feels gross
• Move over from 6 words to like 10,000 Used a set of words from Google
• Get a better favicon Made it myself
• Update the text to not be condescending All set
• Move from Redis to Postgres because why redis ever done
• Add better error handling
• Make the user choose how long it lasts
• (Future) enable a spreadsheet mode
• (Future) add a poll mode?
