New plugin: Static room links #11

Ideas for a new plugin which allows rooms to have a static link which automatically redirects to the current room link

database-backed web application
rooms can send requests to register for a static link
how to prevent abuse?

morko commented 5 years ago

Maybe firebase https://firebase.google.com/ could be one option to send the data to. Could the plugin support multiple back end options?

Maybe the plugin could be even more generalized and send the basic room information automatically but also allow other plugins to send data with it?

What is the abuse you are thinking about? The plugin would accept the back end authentication information in its config.

How would the workflow look like for firebase and what other backends are you thinking of?

The abuse I was thinking of was in case there's no proper explicit authentication, but I guess if we use something existing with proper authentication it should be no problem, though I'm always scared of people sending around their configs with passwords in them.
