    Some interesting feature requests can be found here:
    https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-2factor/pull/93

    In short:

    proposal to move all language files to Transifex and allow translators to work on translating plug-ins (pre-installed/default/bundled plug-ins were mentioned), 123456 vs. 123 456 as common i18n problem not only for Korea and Japan, some other shortcomings from Korean user point of view. Link Preview Image Korean translation by NavyStack ยท Pull Request #93 ยท NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-2factor

    First and foremost, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the development of such an outstanding plugin. In my role as the coordinator for NodeBB's Korean and Japanese translations, I have strived to maintain consistency in wording with the primary translation project. At present, numerous default plugins of NodeBB come pre-installed. However, it appears that this applies not only to administrators but also to end-users. Therefore, it would be advantageous to enable the management of built-in plugin translations on Transifex as well. While I currently utilize NodeBB in production, there are instances where certain strings or plugins remain untranslatable, often exposing my users, who are not proficient in English, to such content. Hence, I would kindly request your consideration on this matter. Below, I have outlined several queries regarding the plugin, along with suggestions for enhancement: Some applications use a space character when presenting a 6-digit number. For instance, 123456 may appear as 123 456 when copied to the clipboard. Given the increasing prevalence of users utilizing this feature via a browser extension plugin, I believe enhancing the user experience by disregarding space characters and accepting numbers solely would be beneficial. There are instances where 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) needs to be input more than once due to specific circumstances. For instance, upon pasting it into a browser or application, users are prompted to re-enter their username and password, even if the values are accurate. This could be due to either rapid typing or previous input. Personally, I circumvent this inconvenience by pressing and holding the CTRL key while performing CTRL + V. (But... sometimes I face Username and Password form page.)However, this workaround may prove inconvenient for the average user. While acknowledging the inherent trade-off between security and convenience, I believe there is room for improvement in this regard, particularly concerning 2FA. Occasionally, upon entering my username, password, and 2FA code, I find myself logged in as a non-member pop-up. This issue warrants attention for resolution. Your attention to these matters would be greatly appreciated, and I am confident that addressing these concerns would significantly enhance the usability and functionality of the plugin. I am currently using NodeBB in a production environment. Hence, updating without translations results in English displaying as is, akin to a bleeding edge situation. I kindly request measures to improve this. You can verify my commit timestamps, which reflect my working pace. There's ample time to pre-translate adequately for any additions. Your cooperation in presenting translation sentences prior to adding new strings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your support.

    Additionally, if the user reach us to delete their quoted posts another unique thing we do is that we change the ownership of the post... We have "bot accounts" in the forum, that no one owns them, and I created these accounts for this purpose...

    Because it is -almost always- about user not wanting to be associated with that post, not about giving out personal info... So, when I tell them that "I am changing the owner of the post and this post will not be associated with you again" they all have been OK with this solution...

    hi @omega , what do you think about the harmony theme and the "read mode" you mention? I believe it does a very good job when you are logged out, since naturally people scroll down while reading, not much button is visible while reading, and options only appears when you start scrolling up...

    IMG_0040.PNG

    and although I liked "read next post" mode, it has some crucial weaknesses... well, it is like reading a book, but first of all, you would not be able to read before switching the next page completely (but you can achieve this while scrolling down), and additionally sometimes posts are not filling the page, and they even can be a few words, in this case, putting the next post on the next page seems waste of good amount of space? what do you think?

    @crazycells ah, not at all.. but...

    Man, that's cool. I think there's definitely a lot of utility in seeing popular uncategorized posts.

    I'll take a closer look.

    Edit: This is resolved now. Uncategorized topics should no longer appear in /popular unless that category is explicitly selected.

    @data-dataninja said in react-redux-nodebb, we are building it!:

    We are building react-redux-nodebb

    this will enable react-dom & react-native with nodebb, which means we can build nodeBB into native apps & also use react ecosystem UI components

    steps we are taking:

    react-redux structure (state, api, hooks) converting controllers module bridge (to enable current ecosystem of plugins)

    then next up we will build:
    react-native-nodebb theme & skins

    Any help & suggestions are super welcome!

    This is quite an old post, but @data-dataninja have you given up on building the decoupled frontend?
    I am more interested in a NextJS or any Server Side rendered solution to get the SEO and other benefits of SSR.
    But a frontend in React-Redux would be a good start if you're working on it.

    It would indeed be helpful to make the public chat rooms more present. At the moment it's unfortunately a dead feature in our forum. Maybe we don't have the use case, but it's definitely too hidden. The current situation is that users have to go to the chat overview and, with luck, discover the chats by chance.

    just to point it out, this search function will be utilized by others, for sure by @Gliding9426 , especially to identify "obviously spam" users. These users are otherwise difficult to detect without spending countless hours checking each user individually.

    being able to see who voted for all the options openly would be nice (without additional clicks or extra panels)... I mean just like how facebook poll worked before they ruined it...

    arranged results in order of the number of votes it got, basically results will be sorted by popularity

    lastly, it should be OK to use decimals in the results ๐Ÿ˜„ right now, total percentage sum makes 99%.
    instead of 14% - 21% - 29% , I believe they should be 14.3%, 21.4%, 28.6%... so the total will be 100%

    @dave1904 said in Forum activity page or widget:

    You could see who upvoted another users post for example or who else earned another badge

    Hmm, ๐Ÿค” I could see how this would work for a close knit community with maybe 50 users.

    But with 1,000+ users, wouldn't it be noisy? E.g. user x193 upvoted this post, user 222 got this badge... it would be tons of activity from a lot of users. Maybe only show posts of people that I follow, perhaps?
