compakt's Issues

Refactor dictionary check to be asynchronous

On this line in compakt.js, every sentence from Twitch chat is hashed and checked in the dictionary if it has been uttered before or not. If true, the cached message is updated and DOM updates are performed. If false, the ordered dictionary is updated and DOM updates are performed. This is currently done all in one scope.

The refactor will achieve 2 things:

1. the dictionary key check can be replaced by a more complex function (such as dictionary similarity).
2. Potentially time-consuming processes such as message compression (when new unique message is discovered) and DOM updates are done asynchronously.

Possible solution:

function onMessageIsARepeat(..., DOMUpdate) {
     // update ordered dictionary
    DOMUpdate();
}

function onMessageIsUnique(..., DOMUpdate) {
    // compress chat message
    // update ordered dictionary
    DOMUpdate();
}

function checkIfMessageRepeated(msg,  onMessageIsARepeat, onMessageIsUnique) {
    // This will eventually be a function that can identify "similar" messages.
    if(key in dict) {
        onMessageIsARepeat(..., function() {
            // DOM Updates defined here.
        });
    } else {
        onMessageIsUnique(..., function() {
            // DOM Updates defined here.
        });
    }
}

Line 28 becomes: checkIfMessageRepeated(message, onMessageIsARepeat, onMessageIsUnique);

Rabin-Karp implemented incorrectly

Here and here. Rabin Karp implemented incorrectly because a rolling hash is not used. Current implementation doesn't save us time because hashes iterate through entire substring each time.

Note: we may lose the convenience of being able to skip chunks of characters when a match is found.

Note2: a better algo is also welcomed (1, 2)

Not working anymore

Hello, i found your Chrome Extension and it is realy cool, but it is to old, can you please update it?
It would be wonderful.
