Note: There is now a Sandstorm package for this app! about whitebophir

[lovasoa]

Hello and thank you for making the package. Would you be interested to upstream your changes ?

• the userInfo call could be wrapped in a try/catch
• there could be a configuration parameter to set a default board name.

This way, you could use the main branch of wbo in your sandstorm package.

I would indeed, though I am not super confident I could quickly figure out how to implement the configuration parameter myself. (Someday I should learn to hack on JS codebases more...) With those changes the only thing the Sandstorm package would need to carry upstream would be the .sandstorm folder with packaging metadata.

For the configuration, it should not be more complicated than added an entry in the configuration file and than changing this:

whitebophir/server/server.js

Lines 224 to 227 in 180c6d7

	case "": // Index page
	logRequest(request);
	indexTemplate.serve(request, response);
	break;

to make a redirection (a simple response.writeHead(302, { location: '/boards/myboard' }) )

Don't hesitate to ask here if you need more guidance

Okay, so subject to testing before I open the PR, but new edit for whitebophir should be:
ocdtrekkie@12f4ea0

And the following repo should clone whitebophir into a subdirectory (which it gitignores) and builds the Sandstorm package, so I can recklessly pile metadata the rest of the metadata I need in here.
