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 -

• 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.

• 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 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

Here are the tasks - Hacktoberfest

(Tasks are being added daily)
