SemiDemented Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) As a developer, and with a new job, I needed to move from designing sites in WebForms to MVC.In the beginning, this was quite the change. The idea behind using controls on a page to now using RAZOR syntax was a bit boggling.But, as I got into it - I started to get curious behind what I can do with MVC.So, as a side project, I decided to create a 'site' that put to practice some of the more advanced features of templates, RAZOR, MVC, security etc.This lead me to the design of the current - in development - site, News Retention.The idea behind it was originally just to create a site which people signed up to, created posts, and then searched for ones they liked. Finding that pretty trivial to do, I decided to take it a step further.I edited the posts to store any sort of content (either from plain text or a byte array) into an encoded stream, and store that to the database.After which, I added some different method of viewing the post- from a JSON query, to the ability the view and download the decoded stream directly.I added quite a hefty password and user detail security system (although not re-inventing encryption) to save the user's passwords and other various forms of data.Leading, I changed the registration system to an invite-only. This allowed me to test mails, data integrity, and opened up room for more things to do.This project is still pretty much just a form for me to test my skills personally - but now I want to see whether what I sis is actually suitable for the average joe's liking.If you're willing to give some constructive feedback, or simply want to see first-hand at what I'm doing, PM me or reply to this post to have a key sent your way.Although you can't really see much from only the login page, here is the link:http://newsretention.co.zaSide note:IF the site does ever take off, I probably won't host it off local servers!

STEEL Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I am currently in development of an 'article' site.The purpose of which is the following:The site stores every bit of information as an encrypted byte stream on a DB.No tracking whatsoever happens between the site and the front end user.No personal information is stored or asked for.Articles consist of plain text, text folders, or images.I have got the basic fundamentals of the site going, and am just looking for about 5 people to test what is there out, and give me general feedback of the lot.Note: After testing, the DB will be purged, and all information destroyed.The site is now (and will be in the future) invite-only.http://rn.impossible-kzn.co.zaPM / Reply if you feel you want to.Nope Bro!!! Here in S.A. not allowed. (FINSPY OR SPYFIN, ON OUR SERVERS) Please re-frame from this Kindly :rolleyes: :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
