So after a long time, tried running the WordPress for Firefox OS app that I developed quite sometime back, and found out it wouldnt run due to the new CSP policy implementations. On closer inspection, found out that the security issues stemmed from a library which I was using which used eval in a certain part which was causing the security issues! Got rid of it, implemented sessionStorage and got the app running again! Conclusions: 1. The new Web IDE has come a long way from the initial simulators in implementing strict CSP policies. 2. Using a library without going through the unminified code to locate possible security loopholes was a huge noob mistake. 3. Going through all of my old code I couldnt help but feel that I was very much a noob in terms of JS a couple of years back. However, it did serve as a good reminder of how much my skills have grown in the last couple of years which might be a good thing. 4. I should probably do a bit of a rework of the app, mostly because the code and the UI looks a bit outdated now. 5. I just managed to add another item to my seemingly never ending list of To-Dos. 6. Going by the length of this post, I should probably get some sleep now! :3
