סיכום מבוסס בינה מלאכותית

The Better-Anonymous plugin by XertroV allows users to create and switch between multiple anonymous accounts. It offers features like creating new anonymous users, setting an active anonymous account, and listing all anonymous users. The plugin is currently unmaintained and unfinished, though its core features work. The author invites others to take over maintenance and is open to relicensing under any preferred license (e.g., GPL or public domain). Configuration is minimal or undocumented, and there’s no limit on the number of anonymous accounts per user (though this was planned). The plugin includes a TODO to improve anonymous user naming by using nonsequential, random suffixes (e.g., Anonymous-3hs8bv). A related, simpler plugin — auto-adding anonymous accounts to a group — is also mentioned. Installation follows the standard Discourse plugin guide. Screenshots are included to demonstrate the UI. The plugin is MIT-licensed but flexible for relicensing.

Summary: Allows users to create multiple anonymous accounts and to switch between them.

Warning

This plugin was in-development (and tested to a point) but is currently not maintained and I have no intention of maintaining it; i.e. it’s somewhat unfinished. The features listed do work, though. If you would like to assume the maintainer-role of this plugin, you’re more than welcome. For anyone else interested in the code: it’s released under MIT but I’m basically happy to re-release it under whatever license (or public domain) if you have some preference (e.g. so an entire stack can be GPL).

Features

  • Create new anonymous users on demand
  • Set an anonymous user as active – this will become the anonymous account that is used for anonymous mode
  • List all your anonymous users

Configuration

(No docs – I might have added something to the admin panel but can’t remember what property it was/did; in any case, there’s basically no config. mb I was planning to add a limit on the number of anon users per user but forgot.)

CHANGELOG

  • initial features: create, list, and manage anon users

TODO

  • There are some todos in the code
  • Nonsequential anon names would be good. e.g. append 6 random characters, like Anonymous-3hs8bv

A Slightly Related Plugin – autoadding Anonymous accounts to a group

I wrote another anon plugin prior to this: auto-add anon accounts to a group: GitHub - XertroV/cf-anon-auto-group: Discourse plugin to trigger `user.set_automatic_groups` for anons on login · GitHub. It’s very simple, basically like 10 LOC all up.
