Project Outline

• Get all of the npm packages and require them in server.js
• Create databases
• Break up server files by npm package
• Make a markup of the frontend
• Make sure all of the packages/dbs work with the frontend
• Make sure we can set up multiple chats at one time
• Figure out how to push passport data into database
• NEW LIBRARY - browser notifications
• Make sure chat deletes (orm)
• No cookies
• Dont HAVE to login
• Search bar to search for chats
• private chats
• Look at google recaptcha (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/)

ORM PSEUDOCODE

• passport
• username
• password
• link database for helpful resources
• if "admin" > show EVERYTHING, if "user" > show links, chat titles.

Disclaimers:

• If this is a serious medical issue, please call 911
• No one here is a professional psychiatrist.......

Stuff we need to talk about:

• Do we need a separate database for the chat or can we rely on socket io?
• Does socket io have a delete function?

Future Developments:

• Real-Time Help
• Local chat rooms
• If the person was helpful
• Causes (Meetup for aids, cancer, etc)
• Gives you default icon options
• Add password reset and send user email
• Prevent bots by making sure you cant say the same thing twice

Presentation

• Video of it working
• Send link out to class channel and have people test it?
