    @jac ok. I’m just wondering if @DownPW would like to be part of this given the work we’ve done together in terms of the theme switcher.

    My personal thoughts here are any themes made available should be open source and free to use. I’m happy to provide the CSS for both light and dark themes sudonix uses if someone else could benefit from them.

    There doesn’t seem to be loads of NodeBB templates available, I wonder if you’d ever consider making a premium template like Sudonix has and making it available for sale?
    I know you help people with changes that they require but I was just thinking as like a premium theme out of the box sort of thing

    No problems streaming CSS if needed.
    I largely copied Sudonix’s black theme for my forum with a few variations 😆

    @downpw I don’t think streaming CSS files is a good idea - they should be hosted locally for performance reasons alone. My thoughts were around using the theme switcher tool we created to enable others to use multiple themes, or choose the one they like best 😄

    @phenomlab @DownPW absolutely, I suppose if you go off one really good template (theme) then you can add your own changes for example the required colour for my forum is navy blue, but at least a very good base would be there.

    Maybe updating (making changes) to it could be difficult or classed as copying I guess.

    @phenomlab

    I can create a topic dedicated to Switcher theme with all the JS and CSS (which is not in the topic) for better readability if you want ? (With your authorisation off course)

    This way, the feature is available to all Sudonix readers on a dedicated thread 🙂

    Regarding the CSS themes, I think that each theme is specific to the site depending on the plugins they use etc. but it is doable with lot of work

    Great idea - you don’t need my permission to create new threads that are meaningful - we may need to reference the original topic, but I agree, a new thread makes sense now that the code and functionality is stable and mature.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design: One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum. From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over. @Panda said in Nodebb design: The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions. This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write. A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase. You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.

    @qwinter Yes, although the experience would be very much degraded without websockets.
