A simple library I made that lets you easily add views and likes to your project.
U-BIbpH3hELlx4rpmoc7-GzExra3bJaohAik1tQFZro

Functions:
ViewLike.getViews()
Returns the current number of views.

ViewLike.getLikes()
Returns the current number of likes.

ViewLike.getLiked()
Returns whether or not the current user liked the project. Useful for coloring in the like button.

ViewLike.like()
Likes the project. Each user can only like a specific project once.

ViewLike.unlike()
Unlikes the project.

oh
sorry im dumb i didn't realize

Could I just manually set the likes myself? And what if someone hacks the project and changes the key values? Then what? People have tried making this in the past and have done it the exact same way with the very same security flaws. Next time when someone comes across that code and edits the likes or views counter, don't put all the blame on code.org's poor security.

    Mellow that's not a fix... trust me once you realize how much control you have in the web console it's literally a joke

        Varrience you're at least sorta safe from the kiddos who don't know much bout code

            Mellow Not until someone makes a server that can constantly delete the proto "feature"...

                but seriously there's like 4 people on the entire site who would know how to do that and none of them seem to care enough.

                  Letti42 oH nO letti's gonna make...
                  checks notes
                  a script that repeatedly removes __proto__ from a table open source...

                  ...
                  am i supposed to react to this

                      [WUT] Adam What I'm trying to point out is that we all know code.org's security is flawed, so we should do something about it. proto isn't a solution, it's just a barrier, an obstacle. If you want your projects to be safe, you need to adopt other methods to secure your stored data - which is what I have done and have been doing for several months now.

                          haha thats cool but like one problem, 80 percent of the people here are too stupid to do that (including me)

                          Mellow it protects ya from gray at, the most common hacker. Still a win.
