I want to introduce a feature in my software to donate quotes to QuoteGarden. How do I go about doing that?

[Shankhanil]

@pprathameshmore pls have a look at the issue

[pprathameshmore]

Are you talking about adding new quotes?

[Shankhanil]

Yes, I am introducing a feature, where an user can add new quotes to QuoteGarden

[pprathameshmore]

But we have to keep secure. So no one can add meaningless data.

[Shankhanil]

Absolutely, what I can do is, I can post the quote data to a temporary API, where the maintainer (you) can review it and approve/reject it.

[pprathameshmore]

No, I trust you. You can post directly.

[Shankhanil]

Yes, but I can't always trust my users. It may so happen, that the user is trying to spam, or post meaningless data. I need more ideas on how to prevent it.

[pprathameshmore]

I can implement API protection using JWT, so users need to log in to create new quotes.

[Shankhanil]

That's a good idea. Can I work on this patch, if you're not yet working on it? I can create an issue, and a PR. If you assign this to me, could you also send me relevant sources for a quick readup on JWT authentication? @pprathameshmore

[pprathameshmore]

Do you know Node.js?

[Shankhanil]

Yes, as a beginner.

[pprathameshmore]

Okay! You can! But currently facing issue https://github.com/pprathameshmore/QuoteGarden/issues/9

[Shankhanil]

I will look into issue #9 .

In regards to the validity of user-added quotes, some open-source APIs usually have a feedback system that contains two buttons: like or dislike, which is usually a POST request. Another variant is just voted with each quote act as a weight to how likely this is to be randomly generated. This approach will likely be little algorithmic heavy.

[Shankhanil]

We can try out the feedback-system approach.

[pprathameshmore]

Yes
