Project thread for the feedback.kissu.moe system
Source code:
https://github.com/ECHibiki/Kissu-Feedback-and-FormsFeedback on the feedback:
https://feedback.kissu.moe/public/forms/Feedback_Feedback/9Original Text
I'm going to make a questionnaire form sometime soon to get an idea of the type of people to use the site. Things like:
How did you discover kissu, what do you want to do more of on the site, proficiency with imageboards, what you think kissu's problems are, some simple personality questions, technical experience and etc.
Idea is the poll will be anonymous so you don't have to threat about me not liking anything, but if there's something about this or the idea that seems off you can bring it up here. There are some questions which people might not be comfortable to answer in a forum such as where they found out about kissu or problems they have with the site.
I'm attempting to gather up some information so I can better direct software and other site related things. No.10558
gonna purposefully fill it out wrong to spoil the results

A third party website is what you'll use right?

a program to recieve feedback forms would be useful so no, not going to use google's product for this, for example

>>10563>>10562>>10561everything I do at this point is basically preparatory work for a major work. That means writting the feedback reciever as a way to build up knowledge on various good practices with golang.. so even though actually recieving it could be done with a third party service there are multiple reasons why it's not in my interest to do this.

>>10557>Idea is the poll will be anonymous so you don't have to threat about me not liking anything...As opposed to what? It's not like we have accounts or established identities on here regardless, and I presume you can see our IPs even if the survey is supposedly 'anonymous'.
Nitpicking aside, I enjoy polls and surveys, so I'm sure I'll fill it out if you go ahead with it. For general site feedback though, as opposed to demographics and such, wouldn't a permanent feedback form make more sense than a one-off survey?
No.10567
>>10566I'm not going to be reading through NGINX logs to figure out if the person is real or not, but on the polls in /poll/ I have ways to tell if they're proxy IPs with no history.
Basically, the responses could be false and what will decide what I see as valuable or not is if it makes sense. You might think "oh no people are going to spam bogus feedback", but the thing is that all feedback has value and can be worked with.
There are many uses to having a server setup to recieve feedback forms. For example what you describe. Though this survey wouldn't be one-off, it will probably stay up forever and we'll have feedback.kissu.moe or kissu.moe/feedback

https://github.com/ECHibiki/Kissu-Feedback-and-FormsAlright, I started the project at last. Large set of test cases.
Admins will be able to design their own forms using the application and will be displayed to users visiting the URL. It will also provide ways for admins to place the forms onto other pages.

Been spending the day(and the next) going over documentation and gaining a more complete knowledge over golang's functionality. Normally just wing it and learn as I go, but it's a style with flaws when you need to write something more robust and professional.
https://go.dev/blog/defer-panic-and-recover neat... this could have allowed me to clean up some mess in other programs I've written.
No.10701
completely forgot about this post
No.10702
did you ever post a questionaire?
No.10703
Uhh, I established this will be part of an application I develop in order to pick up on ideas for the vichan rewrite.
It will come out probably early October or late September. I'm not sure because I'm still in the preparation stage.
No.10704
The form is nice and all, but I'm doing it as a permanent addition to the site, not a small little Q&A but something for mods or other imageboards to customly create and view
No.10798
k enough reading... could also go through and relearn a bunch of design patterns, but this project is not hard... I'll do it later for my archive+search feature which I have planned for personal training in clean server dev.
Side note is that my plan is for the forms to be true HTML.
Mod interface will be JS based, but that's not for you all...
Documented all the use-cases,
have project layout planned out,
know which design paradigm I'm following and how it works with golang.
Tomorrow I'll start building the server.

slow progress. Almost done on a basic version of it.
Was pretty useful in catching some misconceptions and establishing good practices.
No.10883
Finally finished a working version and have it running on the site.
Going to use it in something soon.
Still want to upgrade it but I ought to switch focus to some other items for the time being

Done a respectable amount of development on the features of this tool and gotten some good information on issues that could arise.
I think it would be good to push both this application and the banners application as something other people could use. But I guess maintenance of these features would get backseated to vichan replacement efforts.
There are still a handful of improvements to do with testing and libraries that I want to elaborate on. Expanding on test cases and removing some components for others will be done before getting into writing a major server.
Having these things well understood will pay off in maintenance and development.

- After testing how Twig templates(the Vichan and PHP style of templating) function in Golang I'm going to be rewritting templates from that standard into Pongo2.
Benchmarks say this one of the top3 fastest templating engines in Golang.
- Also I will be expanding test cases to handle fuzzing(essentially throwing random inputs into a function until it breaks or the time expires).
- Also will add in HTTP testing.
After these three tasks are accomplished I will be putting this on idle like the banners program and shifting focus to replacing Vichan with a Golang(Gin+Pongo2+ReactJS) imageboard engine.

Looks like I've gotten everything I wanted to learn out of this project.
Have knowledge of every concept in golang after this. Just will have to expand on it through practice
