Issues

Anonymous design

Even if post as an anonymous comment, the user ID is stored in the database, but display unknown users in the front-end site.

Administrators can view all user information in anonymous comments in the database.

Maybe need to remove user ID storage when posts an anonymous comment, for "truly anonymous".

Rendering design

Use html/template to render front-end pages currently, should consider client rendering solutions, such as Vue.js, React.js, or Angular.js. Build API for those front-end and mobile-client calls.
