Code Review: Fakebook

Thomas Peregrine (http://tomperegrine.me/) and I have built our own social network using Python & Flask & AJAX as an learning experience. We were hoping that some people would be willing to try it out and give us some feedback on the code itself, aswell point out a bugs or suggest any good features/improvements to add.

Made an account and posted e_B was my user. Not sure if this is a bug but names can't have spaces so first last is not an option. Intentional? It seems pretty bare bones but could go in a lot of directions, as I am sure you know. Do you want people to try and break it/attack it or just test it normally?

A neat feature may be to have a list of users under the friends section showing all friends and a red dot if offline and a green dot if online. I think this was done in one of the treehouse courses.

Sent a friend request to ottermad to test that out.

Thank You! We were hoping for people to both test it normally and to try and break it. Really we are interested in learning about building applications, so any tips on making our application more robust or secure would be greatly appreciated.

Have looked into the names thing. Usernames should not contain spaces, but we're going to add some way of making the clearer to users - probably using tool tips.

I like your idea of showing if friends are online or not. I'll have a look at the treehouse courses. And Ottermad has accepted your friend request.

Once again, thank you very much.
