Golpo Express

This is the Express (Node.js) backend of the current golpo project. Site - golpo.dedsec.life

But there are things we are changing from the current Golpo. We will use Golpo as a link sharing platform. And it will be free for eveyone! Future plan involves link management (collection of links and sorting) and sharing collection.

So here is our plan -

Change plan

Backend

Verify post is only a link.
Extract meta data from link and save them in the database.
Do not allow to share the same link in 24 hours.
Add like count and people who liked the post.
Add follow functionality.

Frontend

Convert from React to Svelte.
Separate page for chats and user chat. (Chats are list of users who I have chat with in the past and UserChat is a single user chatting interface)
Profile edit page or modal.
Send message to user button and modal.

Run the project

Run docker for mongodb -

docker-compose up -d

Set env variables -

set -o allexport; source .env; set +o allexport;

(see config.js for all env variables)

Run the server -

npm install
npm start

To get some demo data run this -

npm run bootstrap

Here is the Postman collection - Golpo Postman

Express tasks

Here are the tasks - Hacktoberfest

(Tasks are being added daily)
