DUMBTALKS

At charmCityJs there are no dumb talks ... except these ridiculous ones we create as a community and force random people to give.

dumbtalks's Issues

Make project name less pejorative

project.title.replace('dumb', 'silly')

parse imgur links

imgur likes to make you think you're sharing an image when you're just sharing a website that contains the image. if an imgur url is provided, parse the response and get the image the user intended on submitting

i.e.
imgur share url http://imgur.com/zxZmncz <-- returns page
actual image url http://i.imgur.com/zxZmncz.png <-- returns image

Change the page title to not say "tox" anymore (old name)

Do what the title says ^^

Front-End JavaScript Sure Why Not

Right now there isn't much front end JS (0 lines tbh).

We could do client-side validation and probably other cool things if we did the JS to it. But what to use and why?

/me ducks

why is this design so serious

This is a joke site. Maybe make it more fun.

Intercept [enter] keydown on inputs to prevent early submit

Right now as you scroll down you get to the image input first, but your natural inclination might be to hit ENTER when you add the URL and not scroll down to see that there is a 2nd input to fill out. Can we disable that enter at least on the first field?

reject submissions if img can not be retrieved

if the path to an image returns anything other than a 200 series http status code, reject the submission and let the user know.

why:
I submitted an image at a slack url, it was not clear whether or not the image would be available to anyone outside of that slack channel. the image did not appear in the subsequent refresh of the service.
