Hello, first of all — I'm Batuhan Şenol.
At school, we normally share our own files using USB drives, which was slow. I considered switching to a platform, but the school's internet was genuinely very slow when downloading from external platforms, and because of the firewalls (among other restrictions) the school has in place, I decided to look for an application that handles this over localhost instead. After describing my requirements to some AI tools and doing a bit of comparison, I settled on this project. I noticed some clear gaps in the code itself, and even though the project doesn't look very active right now, please take this as a thank-you as well.
Since I don't know frontend development, I won't be able to speak very technically here, and I apologize for that in advance.
First, I'd like to point out that in group chats, it isn't clear who sent which message. I managed to add a name and profile picture next to messages myself with the help of AI tools, but it would be great if this were added to the project itself.
Second, although SQLite support exists in the code, we currently have to modify the code to enable it. It would be much better if this were controlled through a TOML-based configuration file instead.
Third and last, I had to add favicon support myself by hand. It took quite a bit of effort, but I eventually managed to get it working. I just want to note that I did it with a simple img tag, and adding this would be a simple but genuinely worthwhile improvement.
Thank you.
