Hello! I'd like to start contributing, but I have some questions about project guidelines. Would you be interested in establishing a CONTRIBUTING file?

What is a contributors guide? https://help.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors

Some examples (extracted from the link above):

• Atom editor
• Ruby on Rails
• Open Government

Some questions I have:

• What kind of branching method do you prefer?
• How do you prefer pull request content - squashed, or with atomic commits?
• Does this project follow a code styleguide?
• Does this project have any linting or unit tests that need to pass?
  • If yes, how much coverage is acceptable?
• How are releases planned and created?

Are you interested in establishing guidelines like this? Would you prefer to do it collaboratively, or solo?

In O-auth login route, I could see that the Mongo DB was checked against a user name existing in the DB as returned from Google Servers. Does this not allow any user to create an email ID with the same name as an existing user and gain access into their accounts? Would email be a better parameter to check against?

I have setup the application but am getting the below error when i run npm start.

Hey, I tried to see your demo but it seems to be down.

@DivySrivastava If you have a small amount of time then let's add some tests to make sure things are working such as the database is online etc etc. If you have more time tho work on git-chat

Hi, can you give me the .env file in answer or on discord please ?

So its been a few months since we've commited something to this projects and the lack of time and dedication required is clearly an indication that the project will not be developed actively anymore. So I am planning to either archive spruce or look out for maintainers.

A few points on why archiving is better:

• We all can agree on the fact that Spruce is not efficient and lacks code quality.
• We are not compliant to the new tech standards for example: using EJS, callbacks (instead of promises)
• Filled with bugs

Would like to know your thoughts or if anyone of you are willing to maintain this project.

Hi, This is just an question. please tag.
please let me know whether there is any API for all features like browsing feeds etc., If so, Please provide me pointers for the same
We are looking for mobile-first social-networking platform. It seems spruce better suits this case.

@DivySrivastava, when someone changes their username the comment and like breaks, I don't get your system but I , think you do it by username when we should do it by ID, also a post username stays as the old one

Signing in with google or instagram makes a new account every time

Hi whenever i type in npm start it says "dbHost not recognized."

My thoughts:

1. Display feed based on the events around the user.

• Perhaps most attended events first
• Less attended to follow

2. Display location / image of the event

Here, we update the list as we complete milestones and discuss on them.

• Use Vuejs for SPA
• Electron app (WIP - dan-online)

Remove API Credentials from the source code before sharing

When pressed on my activity 404 not found error is occurring and also the full stack trace of error should not be displayed on the website, it should be surpassed. PFA

There is a very popular JavaScript library called leaflet that takes care of maps.

I know that it is not the same thing, but the name will surely cause lots of confusion.

• Event page empty

Using /u/:id should be reversed to /u/:username as users are shown according to their usernames.

Is it necessary?

Hello
I had created this repo months ago and at that time I had to create a temporary fix of the following things:-

• Liking a post -

// Under utils/handlers/user.js
function like(user, like, _id, cb) {
	User
	.findOne(user)
	.exec((err, obj) => {
	//	if (!obj) return cb("Does not exist.",null);
		//console.log(obj);
		for(var i=0;i<obj.posts.length;i++) {

			if(obj.posts[i]._id == _id) {
					obj.posts[i].likes.push(like.by);
					obj.delete(); // Need to fix this
					var newUser = new User({
							username:obj.username,
							password:obj.password,
							firstname:obj.fn,
							lastname:obj.ln,
							dob:obj.dob,
							bio:obj.bio,
							profile_pic:obj.profile_pic,
							posts:obj.posts,
							followers:obj.followers,
							likes:obj.likes,
							lastLogin:new Date(),
					});

					newUser.save((err, res) => {
							cb(err, true);
					})



					}
				}

	})
}

In function like(),
I couldn't save the document after pushing the like into the post array of a user.
I tried

obj.posts[i].likes.push(like.by);
// and then simply did
obj.save(() => {});

This is not working...and not saving the updated document.

• Comments -
  Same issue as above

What did I do as a temporary fix.

I pushed the like into post array and then deleted the original doc and then created a new doc with updated like/comment.

Regards,
Divy Srivastava
