We'll probably use ffmpeg for thumbnails.

Right now we use markdown to parse posts (and some regex for post references). However, markdown's paragraph behavior of merging adjacent lines together is pretty annoying. I think it would be better to write something from scratch using a parser combinator like nom or combine.

I'm particularly interested on how the service would perform on an actual VPS with a real-world load. The more we can cut down on resource usage, the cheaper hosting costs will be for site admins.

Unit and integration.

I'm going to have to look into how to mock Rocket requests and database connections for Diesel.

Not sure how this would work in practice, maybe just letting users configure an alternative path for serving uploaded files.

For imageboards hosted on alternate networks (Tor, i2p, ...) IP-based spam prevention is not an option. Therefore, more robust spam filtering is required. I think some king of machine learning approach would be a good fit. Neural networks in particular seem to have a good fit for the kind of text classification problem we have.

Some relevant questions: do we want per-file limits, as well as the per-post size limit that's currently enforced? Should all files be embedded with a thumbnail?

Missing feature in newer version of Rust

I think it would be nice to split the logs into:

• Access log
• Post or thread creation log
• Error log
• Moderation log

As it is, the log file can get pretty big quickly, which makes it hard to scan through for errors.

Audio (mp3, ogg), pdfs, text/code, maybe even compressed tar archives. We should probably just provide default thumbnails although I know for PDF thumbnails we could render the first page, and it would be cool to do some kind of audio visualization for audio thumbnails.
