Wishlist

Features I would like to add, will be completed in any order

• Pages of song results, to avoid very long pages and large data being sent
• RESTful design
  • Change all necesary POSTs to GET,DELETE (probably not PUT)
  • Write an api layout
    • Despite the fact this isn't necesary (nobody but the app should access any url but root) it's probably still a good idea. It's going to be very simple anyway
• Loading indicator while awaiting server stuff
• Refactoring existing code
  • Remove old comments
  • Update the SQL -> Server -> Client pipeline when searching and building playlist
    • Moving to mongo might make more sense to maintain a dictionary/JSON like format, but that needs a server
  • Verify all if-else sequences are correct and not redundant
• Security Updates
  • .env file for the api keys and other runtime info to be set, rather than in the .py files
  • Hashing rather than plaintext sending passwords (that way at least the password text itself isn't transmitted over the network)
  • Actually use TLS, for posting
• Accessibility
  • Better use of semantic HTML tags
  • Full keyboard control (tab, enter to select, tab between control buttons)
• GUI update for client
  • Playlist items look cleaner
  • Dark mode
  • New Icons
  • Google material design (Not sure I want this anymore)
• "Credit" system so each client can only add a set number of songs
  • Based on time period, number in queue, other possible ideas for credits
  • Without a login system there's no easy way to give credits to specific clients (and a login is beyond scope of what I want to do)
    • Potentially a "redemption code" system, which can be tracked client side
  • All of this is very hackable without a server-side login.

Completed Features

These will still be updated, but they're in a state that I am happy with them

• Admin password
• Websockets / some method of updating the time remaining to any client on the playlist screen
  • Set a timeout to change the time (to start)
  • Send updates to the playlist in real time when songs are added
    • Update the playlist's html without destroying it (create 1 new element)
  • Tell clients looking at the playlist when the song has been paused (so they can pause the local timers)
  • Settings updates
    • Without re-posting the server (contain update data in websocket ping)
