A modern client for F-list's F-Chat
This is a periodically-updated scratchpad for the primary developer. It’s not automatically updated, it’s just here to give an idea of concepts that were thought of and may need to be looked into further to decide if they’re a good fit for Frolic.
This is not a list of features to implement, it exists to keep track of ideas to research. If anything listed below sounds like something that should get more attention, please make a feature request on the Issues page
AUTOBUILD/CI
update electron version to something that works with kwallet6
*** update electron
Confront auto-ads
investigate timer - is it broken?
StrangeStorage:
Send Love function (👍/👎)
How to manage sharing without storage server?
Trans F/M state
Femboy
Pronouns/perception for H/S?
HQ portrait
Safe Word feature from april 1 post
Enabled/Disabled state for each player
Protocol exchange
When someone starts typing at you you get a message, can we send something innocuous back to figure out if we should start protocol communication? Is there any other non-intrusive player-to-player communication to piggyback off of?
Investigate storage options:
EIcon???
[bbcode]?
Inline image data (steganography)
Profile image data (steganography or caption?)
Contact info?
Rule: Only use completely irrelevant/dead
Even so, appearance is intrusive, so does not solve the issue.
AIM: aim:goim?screenname=<DATA>
skype: skype:<DATA>?chat
yahoo: ymsgr:sendIM?<DATA>
groups
channels
can any of these be established from in chat?
Better use for side bar in PM than showing profile?
sticky image popup to different parts of screen.
not covering user menu or member list
smart filter for blank/mostly empty profiles
- empty avatar detection?
- empty profile body?
- lacking common/meaningful info?
- lacking any customs
Match single species in faves as species of speciesless?
Smart filters:
hubs
poke/digi/moogles smart filter --> canon species
obesity/weight gain/eating disorders --> weight play
new --> nonbinary genders
prune long option lists
redo pack.js logic to accept command line arguments
- needs redo mac section to parse signing name

shorten list of options above chats,
OR MOVE THE OPTIONS TO THE BOTTOM
Recommendations on blank pm/button on pm
- things to talk about when msging people
- reminder to check their profile...?
Build the "new notes" pop-up into the user list, since it's going to cover the bottom part of it anyways. Might as well allow users to scroll to the bottom of their user list without having to X the note pup-up.

extend friend/bm message notify to PMs; ie verify notify isn't singular controller of DMs.

js for random colors
Relevant settings locations - is it possible to open the general settings to the appropriate page and section?
Character info popup sometimes uses wrong name. Needs to refresh when receiving character info.
Expected behavior of species:
For multi-species detection:

Remove "Status:" from ChatView
You can set an empty memo...
else if (this.profile.character.image_count > 1 && this.profile.character.image_count < 3)
logic wrong.
Stop filters from filtering chat or PM messages from room mods. - Temp exception list for each room?
"Browser settings" window is its own window!!!

Show f/m pref in character popup.
This is in CharacterPreview.vue:376 but no obvious changes come to mind to fit the motif, "x-years-old bisexual male"
