I was surprised it was this easy, to implement registration, login, scene saving and loading, authentication and password resetting. Much of is because it is so easy to customize Node.JS code, as most of it seems to be modular and easily understandable.

Node.js and the frameworks seem so much better option than the complex Python+Django web framework GeoKone.NET currently uses. Ability with Node.js to pass JSON objects directly to the server side API calls from the client side makes things really easy to implement.

At first it all seemed pretty confusing and hard to figure out how the whole Node.JS application logic happens, and especially it is kinda difficult at first to get used to that all functions and object methods get called asynchronously, meaning that you have to think about parallel programming, which can lead to so called callback hells where you have callback after callback calling each other and it becomes difficult to understand what is going on.

Luckily, at least on a project this size (~500 lines of code) with Node.js the callbacks started feel natural after a while. This is mostly thanks to good practices used in writing the middleware and libraries that you can plugin into existing functionality of your code. There are many readymade solutions that can easily work with different authentication or database libraries, so you have plenty of choices of what kind of setup you are supporting in your project.

GeoKone.NET server is pretty simple still, it has basic functionality for loading and saving scenes, logging in, logging out, resetting password and user registration. With Django I had difficulties customizing some things, like it seemed impossible to show the username in the registration email, as the templating system didn’t support showing email in there for some reason I couldn’t figure out.

I had to modify the mailer functionality of the password-reset module to support email authentication, as the simple SMTP mailer library that this module used didn’t support authentication. So I just took another SMTP mailer module and easily replaced the mailer module with nodemailer that supported authentication and modified the password-reset code to use this mailer module, and it just worked :)

So, hopefully I will be able to implement more new server based features in the upcoming versions, like a Scene Gallery for sharing your creations, and also Previews of Images when loading and possibly even Server Side Generating of images, instead of doing it in the browser like it now does. Let’s see if I can get Processing.js to work with Node.js.

Sharing this short and compact video, showing images of subatomic particles showing designs of Sacred Geometry in them.

This is why understanding Sacred Geometry is so important, it is everywhere! All of our molecules are made with these rules, all of the protons, electrons, subatomic particles within those are constructed with rules of Sacred Geometry.

We should build our machines, houses, art and everything according to rules of Sacred Geometry, in order to be in Harmony with the Nature. This way, the things we build automatically are resonating with the Natural Energies!

GeoKone.NET 0.98.03 Beta has Been Released today.

This is a maintenance release, containing couple of bug fixes and new larger default scene size if the browser window is big enough. Also, the Scene Dimensions now has pre-sets for 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 sets. Enjoy :) For more details, see ChangeLog.
