To-do

Various suggestions from unexpectedpanda

Category	Suggestion	Status
Interface	Page should be responsive, not fixed-width.
Interface	Search bar on every page, that can search titles+hashes+serials for every system (like redump)
Interface	Solicit feedback/help on the DoM sidebar?
Interface	Keep users logged in for longer
Interface	Login box at top of page	Done
Interface	Remember last page/system/search-settings
Database	Put more stuff in parameters in URL (e.g. for search) so that more stuff can be linked to
Database	Each archive (at least) could have a permanent ID (GUID or similar), and pages should be accessible via URL with that ID, so that database entries can be referred to by third party projects (like Wikidata), without there being a risk of the ID changing.
Database	Locked DATs should still be viewable.
Database	It would be more efficient for the user if all forms (archive, source, file, attachment) were all on one edit page
Database	"Extra" (user-specified) fields like the archive has would be useful for sources and files too
Database	If an archive only has some files MIA, then the tag in Search and the top of the archive page should say "Partially Missing" or something like that, not just say "Missing".
Database	DAT files could be cryptographically signed so people can tell if reuploads of the dat files are genuine. Probably best to include a text file with the filename, size in bytes and sha256 of each file in the download, and then sign that.
Database	Dynamic cue generation/download for Non-Redump dats
Database	A new, modern, database should be developed.	There is something in development by a third party in private, that is making good progress. May be worth waiting to see how that gets on.
Data Import/Export	Create a YAML/YAML-like format for submissions in forums, as an alternative for the formats people end up "making up"
Data Import/Export	Create a script that datters can use locally to convert the YAML format (or just variable human-readable text format) into the DoM import XML
Data Import/Export	Make import XML support all DoM fields and use names consistent with those DoM fields
Data Import/Export	Create schema for import XML
Data Import/Export	Use same XML format for export (instead of the "plain text" format that doesn't have all the fields)
Data Import/Export	Create API to allow specific data to be retrieved/added to DoM: Allows emulators/dump tools to interact with DoM Check ROM status Submit data directly
Data Import/Export	Change-request system. I.e. Datters could accept/reject/edit/add comments to submissions by non-datters (maybe even people without logins)
Data Import/Export	Allow CSV import
New Database Fields	All fields where people use commas to separate values should probably be split into multiple fields?
New Database Fields	Scene releases should have a Region field, like "normal" sources.	Done
New Database Fields	Maybe add faster hash types. E.g. BLAKE3 (cryptographic hash, faster than SHA256 but less common) or xxhash (even faster but not a cryptographic hash).
Input Validation	Some formats should have certain file extensions and vice versa. E.g.: N64 - BigEndian = z64, ByteSwapped = v64.
Input Validation	Serials generally follow a certain format N64 - BigEndian = z64, ByteSwapped = v64.
Input Validation	There is generally a fixed list of PCB serials for each system.
Input Validation	Some sizes are invalid (or unlikely) for some systems
