Votes and reactions on any website

Part 2 - Planning ahead

In the previous post, we built an easy to use, javascript-free way to add unauthicated (low friction) reactions/votes to any website, even static websites. Once the crucial features are completed, it will be ready for any blog to embed and use.

Some features are still missing though:

  1. Prevent duplicate votes - remove vote instead. (crucial)
  2. Versioning of the API. (crucial)
  3. Move to another domain. (crucial)
  4. Intermediate vote page.
  5. Add some abuse prevention/mitigation, peharps using access patterns.
  6. Javascript version for SPA.
  7. Website to easily generate HTML embeds.
    • Unique name.
    • Select the set of emojis you want, with some default use cases suggested.
    • Select whether you want the intermediate page or not.
    • Select whether javacript is acceptable for you or not.

Expected delivery before end of April, cheers! Reach out if interested or think of features I should add.
