My opinion for KiwiBNC (07/11/2019)

[Madriix]

Hello,

Today I tested "KiwiBNC" for the first time. It was only a week since I saw that there was a BNC server in NodeJS for 8 months and I told myself it will be necessary that I test that.

I think it's perfect this KiwiBNC in alpha / beta mode:

• I could definitely leave ZNC and adopt KiwiBNC (and yes ZNC too complicated the installation, too much gas plant, retouching the code too difficult, too complicated module creations ..) It is obvious that I prefer KiwiBNC than ZNC .
• KiwiBNC works well (simple installation; Only 1MB; It is simple, the touching of the code is easier because I understand a lot better than the ZNC ..

However, I noticed problems with KiwiBNC:

• The whole file system like connections.db (sqlite) I'm against, I prefer to use a real MySQL table (easier to modify users and create them and update password ... especially that it will be possible to do in MASS or with CRON) - Do you know if it is possible to do it?
• The "npm start adduser" command should also ask the question to create the addsevernetwork, easier and connect auto .
• I found no way to delete our user account (I turned off KiwiBNC and remove both .db files)

Finally I attach a great importance on MySQL, it would be easier to manage everything via a table or multiple SQL table (MASS account management or manage by the user itself from a PHP page of its member area).

Also on KiwiBNC there is this note: "Web admin interface" in the list of creations to make, it would be perfect if it could integrate APIs if it is impossible to create anything in MySQL.

PS: I tested the received messages in channel and MP while I am away. Those in channels I received them but not those of the MPs.

So I gather you would like MySQL because you are familiar with web frontends? However, there are web frontends for SQLite:

Looks like from the recent commits that KiwiBNC will be database-agnostic.
