LCS

Checkout Camelot-saved for the working node thingy we used before. We are eternally grateful, Carlin.

What is LCS?!

The ludicrous card system is a system where applications offer "cards" so that users can see everything in the same page.

This is the main authentication system. It handles a bunch. The hope is to deploy this as a bunch of AWS Lambdas.

How Ludicrous?

We ran a few hackathons off it so, pretty ludicrous.

Why LCS?

See the very salty rant on the history of LCS for more.

Basically, because Heman didn't understand a codebase, he made one that the next generation won't understand. He's tried very hard to help with understanding, but time will tell if it worked.

How to Install LCS?

See the deployment instructions for too much information.

Basically, you set up AWS lambdas, an AWS API gateway API, and then a few third party APIs. Oh yeah, and a DB... somewhere.

Where is LCS Used?

Like... everywhere. The one app, the web frontend, and a few other apps use LCS to some extent.

This is the user registration backend, so is indispensable to anything that interacts with the hackers at HackRU.

How Should LCS Code Look?

See #20 : I don't know yet.

What's Next for LCS?

In order of decreasing priority:

  1. Check the read endpoint for security issues. (#22)
  2. Ensure that magiclink comsumption is sensible.
  3. Add continuous integration, testing, and jazz. (#20)

Issues not referenced here are not thought of as a priority (so get to them if you have time).

More on LCS?

Ja, ein Wiki. How'd you like 'em apples?
