- gif instuctions in this readme and online example using https
Goal in long term
- offline notification and chat persistence
- make it dry, and test it by wallaby
- fewer limitations and hidden bugs
Limitation
- one comment can only be referred to one comment at one time using reply button
- same user same time double comment on same post will resulted in undefined behaviour
- only one image per post is allowed, audio/video not supported, post re-delivering not supported
- if A comments on B's post, A does not follow B, and anyone replies A in B's post and then B deletes that post, the notification in A's news page will not disappear, which is what "possibly" means in the notification.
- if A follows B, and B does not follow A and then A deletes his/her account, the "new follower" notification in B's friend page will not disappear
