I clean up the code and made many fixes!
I also added new features: You can upload profile pictures and the admins can allow bypassing the invite code for the instance.
Added search to quotes and account settings
Add Settings Page with the option to choose a theme. I also changed some Database Stuff and added a user page.
Add table for admins so they can see all registered users.

Small fixes:
- Icons on login/register page
- Title support for my own client router
- Fix popups on mobile
I’ve added a /qpi/quotes/delete endpoint, where the poster or admins can delete a quote and also the button for it is in the UI. If you click it a confirmation popup opens.
Also the register and login forms now show, whats wrong. I noticed the bad UX, as I registered a new user and the submit button just didn’t work. In the dev tools I could see the problem, but no normal user is looking into the devtools, so now every normal creature can now see it as well.
These are the last finishing touches before shiping!
I’ve done some little things:
I added a random quote endpoint to the server and the 404 - Not Found now displays one.
I also started writing the API docs.
)
- I fixed the layout on mobile devices: The navbar, the admin page, …
- I edited the API endpoints for quotes: Now there are 2 Endpoints for quotes: get and list
- I also added the code for quote editing, but the API endpoint is not implemented yet
- In the client I added a detail page for quotes, where you can see the users, who liked the quote and in the future the comments would also be displayed here
- A new get user endpoint exists, so the quote posters and the likes can display the real username and not only the user-id
- I fixed the logout, that was not working, because the client side navigation couldn’t load the /logout because it loads pages from /pages/… so /pages/logout was a 404. Now the logout is in the pages directory, so it works with client side navigation
The most time for this devlog was invested on the layout of users who liked a post. I just wanted the users to be displayed in collumns and rows. They should be exactly underneath each other, so the like-icon aligns perfectly. Also the names shouldn’t break, because then one row is larger then the others. It was such a pain getting that “simple” thing to work. I asked multiple AIs, after I had no idea anymore and all gave me trash. The Claude used JS and not only CSS and it finally worked!! It was such a pain but in the end I am very happy with the result.
LIKES!!!!!! Finally!!!! Again only the db held me back. I hate databases! But it has a fun little animation if you click it and it is pretty spam proof (hope so).
Create quotes now works!!! It was a bit of pain modifing the db. I just wanted plain timestamps in milliseconds but Exposed and SQLite don’t want that, so I setteled on just using long type.
The Server now autmoaticly migrates the DB 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 It was not that easy, because Exposed (DB lib for Kotlin) doesn’t automaticly apply migrations. I can generate migration scripts with it but the execution and check if it was already executed I have to do on my own. But I learned a lot in the process.
Now Woodpecker builds the server and client docker-image and releases it on codeberg.org docker registry! Yay!
I’ve added a form for admins to create invites so you don’t have to interact with the DB or the API manually ;-) Also the first user, that registers doesn’t need an invitation Code and automaticly is an admin. I also started creating the form to create quotes, but it has no functionality at the moment.
My next steps that are planed at the moment:
- Add create quote form functionality
- Put everything in docker
- (Add QoL like display all invites & users for admins, display active sessions, …)
- First RELEASE/SHIP
New design for the quotes. Now it’s not a boring list but cards that look a lot better.
I’ve added two new themes. Also the theme is now loaded via js, so at a later point the js could read the cookies and load a theme dynamicly.
I’ve now added a logout api endpoint and an option to logout via web client. The difficult part is, that I can’t access the GREX_SESSION cookie via JS, so I have to set another cookie, to know, if the user is logged in. But now it works fine. I hope, that I’m not finding as many bugs if I’m testing the login/logout/register functions.
Not much to say for this devlog, I only created the register form and designed it and the login form.
I improved the navbar and designed an icon as a placeholder for the moment: At a later point the icon should be changable by admins and I think, I will also improve the default icon.
