Mongo todo

Todo

Make sure that the branch is ready for deployment

• Add deploy script(s) to package.json
• Create a plan for apache/nginx server
  • Api should be accessible via api.monkeytype.com
• Add helmet middleware to express api?

Bugs

• Some methods in functions/index.js may be broken
  • I think bot commands like lbUpdate and such
  • Make sure discord can work
    • Might just want to call the api from discord bot instead of firebase functions

Minor/efficiency bugs

• Does clearDailyLeaderboards cause a memory leak?
• Is filteredResults.reverse(); in account.js going to cause efficiency issues?
  • For loop in account could work backwards instead, but this would add complexity
• Why does if (page == "account") pageTransition = false; get rid of endless account loading bug when accessing via url
• Name is not passed in user token/auth().currentUser
• Account button sometimes shows loading infinitely after a test
  • Can't navigate to user until page is refreshed
  • After refresh, pr is not saved
  • Can't induce this error and doesn't occur often so adding it as minor bug
• lbmemory undefined if page not refreshed after user sign up?
• If you are in first place and you place on the leaderboard but not above yourself, you get glb undefined error
  • Might also occur if you are simply on the leaderboard and make the leaderboard but not above your current position
  • Doesn't happen all the time
• Hidden property of leaderboard is unused
• Verified property of user is unused, set at false by default
  • Can't find where the property would be set in the code
  • Is this discord verified, if so, why do you need discord verified to be on leaderboard?
    • Temporarily removed from leaderboard requirements

Possibilities

• Might be worthwhile to use redis to store userdata up to a certain point
  • Users who have been requested in the last hour will be stored in the redis database so that their data can be sent again without having to search a large database
    • After an hour without a new request they can be removed from memory
• Create a backup system to prevent loss of data
  • Users should be able to export their data themselves
    • Pretty much is just the user snap but without uid
