## Functional Spec

Since it is a prototype, it would be good enough to show

1. basic functions on threads
  1.1 comment
  1.2 edit previous post
  1.3 upvote, downvote
  1.4 qouting other's comment
  
 2. category of threads
  2.1 threads can be put into category and user can view any of them

3. authetication
  3.1 anyone can view all the threads' content
  3.2 anyone can make a post after login
  3.3 use firebase authetication to handle the login part

4. Remarks:
  4.1 there are no limit on the number of comments a thread can have
  4.2 only author can edit its posts
  4.3 user can sign up and login with email and password by firebase authentication

5. Optimization:
  5.1 only load 20 post/ comments for the home page and thread page, and do paginated request to firebase to get more data to dynamically update the ui with more data.

6. self-contained and reproducible
  6.1 the module itself is self-contained, which means it should be embedable to other ionic project with minimum effort.
  6.2 a script for firebase setup should be provided in order to create another forum with ease.
