The new and improved 32chan front end

Goonchan-Next is an updated version of 8TailedLynx's Penumbra version. This branch is taken from StephenLynx, with thanks, of course.

Install by cloning anywhere and then pointing it to the engine on the global settings. Make sure to check out the correct tag.

To personalize your chan please read LynxChan's documentation on templates.

The favicon in the static directory is served from mongo and will need to be uploaded into MongoDB manually. To do this you need to get the mongofiles tool and run

mongofiles -h localhost -d {dbName} -p 27017 -l {/path/to/yourfavicon} put /favicon.ico

This front end currently requires you to set the URI of the overboard as "overboard".

For the javascript to work, you will have to create a file named settings.js in the static/js directory and declare the following variables in it:

• VERBOSE: if true, it will print incoming and outcoming data from the api.
• DISABLE_JS: if true, javascript will not be used.

Example:

var VERBOSE = false;
var DISABLE_JS = false;

Don't forget to do this.

The setup.sh script can help with that, though.

goonchan-next's Issues

Cleanup

The theme files could use some tweaking overall and the padding could use some adjustment as well. i.e, "make it look more like 4chan"

Themes in question;
Yotsuba
Yotsuba B

Saloon shouldn't really be touched; it is intentionally shitty.

Main things

• Import the Bunkerchan Yotsuba B CSS
• Fix it, make it better, do serious enhancements. (Somewhat done)
• Make a Yotsuba version of that CSS
  Make a Tomorrow version of that CSS (low-priority) postponed
• Fix the /inta/ CSS

Serious improvements list

• Options menu, like on vichan-devel and NPFchan
• In the options menu, allow user to insert additional stylesheets
• In the options menu, allow user to insert additional javascript
• Thread auto-updater
• Option to hide images (Nice, this was already committed in the FE!)
• Reddit-style post inlining.
• Keybinds, keybinds, keybinds. Vim keybinds or die.
• Image hover, ability to toggle this for the catalog as well.
• An inline filter system
• An "[Embed]" button link that shows up next to SoundCloud & YouTube links (Done on Youtube)
• Desktop notifications (This is going to be dreadful, I imagine)
