How to handle limits? #25

Closed brancz closed 9 years ago

I propose, we use a "limit profile" based approach. Each user has a profile describing what limitations the account has.

Limitations include:

how many secrets can the user own
how long can a single secret be
how many participants can single secret have

Currently a user can have up to 10 secrets, a secret can have 10 participants and a single secrets can be around 5000 characters, mainly to prevent spam. This should all be dynamic in the future, but works for MVP.

after some thought .. only the number of secrets a user can have will be limited by the users profile and the secret cipher text will remain at a limit of 5000 characters
