These Parents Built a School App. Then the City Called the Cops
Stockholm’s official app was a disaster. So annoyed parents built their own open source version—ignoring warnings that it might be illegal.
It's a bit more complicated than the usual
View Source"hacks." They actually opened up chrome dev tools and figured out the API and wrote their own that worked pretty well.It's a happy story in the end, though. After getting the police involved they actually ended up licensing the app so it would be free for parents.

Yeah, the official platform was broken in pretty much every way. There was no security, so you could call any resource to get any information about anyone. It was poorly designed, it buckled under any load, it lost data, and pretty much everything else we've come to expect of public software.
It's been a shitshow all the way.

I didn't believe such things could happen in the real world any more.

You mean the happy ending?

@Gąska yeah. I’d forgotten that such things were actually possible.

Stockholms Stad, or the City of Stockholm, [...] alleged that it might be illegally accessing people’s personal information.
This kind of bullshit really riles me up. It's a client, idiots, if it's illegally accessing information then your server-side auth is borked and you fix it ASAP or I'll wack you with a GDPR again.
Filed under: It puts the auth on the server or it gets the GDPR again

It's been leaking everything in very nooby ways.
Ny läcka i Stockholms skolplattform GDPR-anmäls
I förra veckan upptäcktes det att det gick att komma åt elevdata i Stockholms skolplattform. Och i helgen visade det sig att det även gått att få fram vårdnadshavares personuppgifter enbart genom att vara inloggad.

PHP is the best language
Is it opposite day again already?!
-
@TimeBandit of course it is, you can write web stuff in it, you can write command line stuff in it and if you're really clever you can write stuff for GTK with it. Once upon a time there was also a Qt binding for it.

But then you'll be using GTK, which is a toolkit I found thoroughly annoyingly low-level.
-
@dkf yes but you'll be doing it with PHP which is just so utterly the wrong tool for the job it hurts my soul, and I'm one of those who will generally defend PHP even though I acknowledge its plentiful deficiencies.

@Arantor said in Öppna Skolplattformen:

There's no language where that's a good thing. Not for the developer, and certainly not for the user.
