Create demo online instance w/ obfuscated data

[b-g]

Would be mega to have an interactive online slackviz "demo" ... this should dramatically increase the impact of the project, so much easier then to communicate it. I hope this is doable.

@OrKoN

Very cool!

Question: Would it be possible to have more meaningful dummy channel names e.g. name of cities like #Berlin #Stuttgart etc. I could provide a CSV file.

[OrKoN]

@b-g I used https://github.com/marak/Faker.js/ and the random word generator from there. Feel free to choose a generation method faker supports but I would not add a csv file import as I have built this feature into the project.

[b-g]

Wow! Didn't know Faker.js! Then please address.city e.g. http://faker.hook.io/?property=address.city&locale=en

[OrKoN]

@b-g would not it be strange if all channels are named after cities?

[b-g]

@OrKoN, I think it is better than random words, as I makes clear that the channel refers to an object/topic/thing ... we could also try to mix it with commerce.productName if you like that better.

[OrKoN]

Math.random() > 0.3 ? faker.commerce.productName() : faker.address.city() should be good right?

[b-g]

Yes! + Thanks!

After checking current online-demo/heartbeat ...

• Probably better Math.random() > 0.15 ? faker.commerce.productName() : faker.address.city()
• Replace SPACES in Channel names like "#Refined Granite Bacon" w/ DASHES "#Refined-Granite-Bacon"

Your comments are are a ready code :+1: you can commit directly to the project :-)

And probably .toLowerCase everything? Btw, found that there is a limit on the length of the channel name - it's 20 characters or so.

[b-g]

@OrKoN Thanks! 😊 Glad that you find them helpful. +1 Yes, good call! .toLowerCase and limiting it to 20 characters is even better!
