This is rewrite of `szurubooru` 0.9.x that intends to
- Improve user experience within frontend. No more vertical user list. Better
upload form, larger thumbnails, make top navigation stay out of user way.
Maybe other goodies!
- Finally define sane REST API (with no bullshit such as SQL queries, request
timings or exception stack traces this time)
- Simplify registration - user registers, and they're able to post. No
activation e-mails, no nothing (email's going to be used **ONLY** for
password reminders, yes, *not even* for confirmation). Note that you will
have control over permissions, user ranks and the default user rank, so you
might be able to setup a system where user needs to be approved by mod to
join the community.
- Maybe simplify permission system
- Ditch PHP in favor of something more serious (python 3.5)
- Ditch in-house JS monstrosities in favor of something more serious (I've got
EmberJS on my radar)
- Replace dependencies such as composer, npm, grunt, and all that crap with
just python, and a few pip packages
- Simplify hosting: offer simple self hosted app combinable with reverse proxies
- Replace MySQL (/ MariaDB) with Postgres
- Less god damn code! 24KSLOC? For a thing this simple? The goal is to fit
within 15KSLOC. Let's see if I can accomplish this.
