Major Migrations Completed

  • Python → JavaScript: Fully migrated from Flask/Python to Node.js/Express
  • SQL → MongoDB: Replaced MariaDB/MySQL with MongoDB and native driver
  • Heroku → Dokku: Deployment infrastructure migration with proper environment setup
  • Webpack → Vite: Modern build system with hot module replacement and improved performance

Core Feature Implementation

  • GitHub Webhook System: Real-time PR processing with automatic webhook management
  • GitHub Status Checks: Visual status indicators on pull requests showing voting coefficients
  • Session Security: 2-level proxy handling with secure cookie investigation
  • Token System: Repository-centric GitHub token management for enhanced security

Technical Improvements

  • Native Fetch API: Complete migration from got library to native Node.js fetch
  • React 18.3.0: Updated to modern React with Vite integration and ES modules
  • MongoDB Integration: Native MongoDB driver with connect-mongo for sessions
  • Code Quality: ESLint configuration, Prettier formatting, improved error handling

Build System & Development

  • Vite Build: Fast development server with middleware mode integration
  • Hot Module Replacement: React Fast Refresh for instant development feedback
  • Production Optimization: Chunked builds with CSS extraction and minification
  • Docker Support: Updated compose configuration for MongoDB and Node.js

Infrastructure & Deployment

  • Dokku Configuration: Production-ready deployment with environment variables
  • HTTPS Enforcement: Secure cookie handling and proxy configuration
  • Webhook URL: Automated webhook management at https://www.worlddriven.org/github
  • Database Migration: Clean MongoDB setup with proper session management

Cleanup & Documentation

  • Remove temporary development files and production import scripts
  • Clean up legacy Python dependencies and configuration files
  • Remove development status documentation files
  • Streamline project structure for maintainability

This represents the completion of worlddriven's evolution from a Python/SQL/Heroku stack to a modern Node.js/MongoDB/Dokku architecture with real-time GitHub integration.
