Dan Hough – @basicallydan

Hello. I'm Dan, I'm a generalist Software Engineer currently working at @wearebeam here in beautiful London, UK. I also spend a lot of time writing music and playing guitar, playing board games and cooking.

👨‍💻 Software that I work on

• ✅ DoneApp: A productivity tool for regular tasks
• 💻 Interfake: An API mocking tool. It's pretty out-of-date but it works!
• 🎿 SkiFree.js: The classic PC Game SkiFree, but in JavaScript.
• 🏡 @wearebeam: My main squeeze. We help marginalised people find homes and jobs.

☕ Let's talk!

Software things: I'm interested in API design, testing, browser stuff and (as long as it's really simple) games!

Other things: I'm interested in productivity, strategy games, songwriting, climbing, snowboarding and linguistics.

groundhog's Issues

Allow non-debug entry of "time ago" - in case they forgot - to within last 24hrs

A slider would be best

Store actions in array on Activity

Will help in future with undo

Refactor index.*.js shared code into a single file - it's too WET

Need to do this before 1.0.0, it's far too dangerous to release this

Come up with a "light" theme with pastel colours

Apparently this is more popular these days?

Cancel button for form view

Android form view: Slider is misaligned

"Edit mode" which only deletes for now

When an activity has "1 day ago" it should not pluralise "days"

If an activity has frequency of 1, the orange and red thresholds need to be closer to the next date

Otherwise, something that happens daily is always orange or red. So maybe within 6 hours, it should be orange, and within 3 hours it should be red.

When an activity happened < 1 hour ago, show "within the last hour"

When the 'Cancel' button is hit, Edit mode is toggled

Android form view: Text fields have underlines

Animate the bubble height

Using animations api make the bubble height animate slowly to nothingness when the plus button is hit. Will need to store bubble height as state.

Show error if the title is blank

Make the frequency bubble into a vertical progress bar

Android form view: Textbox should start with capital letter

Edit mode allows an activity to have its title and frequency edited

Empty state

Two types of empty state:

1. "Welcome to groundhog" or whatever it ends up being called
2. You don't have any activities

Both should have a sample option but the second is worded to suggest the user has more familiarity while not assuming they know what they're doing.

Show a "Make your first action" and "Make a sample action" button. The latter takes you to the form, but with pre-populated data, with something everybody does like "Take a shower".

Persist the activity data locally

Rounded button mask doesn't work on Android - need to use a PNG

So there needs to be one for each colour, with rounded corner mask of the same colour as the main BG. Peh. This can be special to android. Maybe an SVG?

If the time ago is more than a day, round "days ago" to the nearest half day

E.g. 2.5 days ago or 3.5 days ago.

Rounded button text is too low (not centered) on Android

Alignment in bubble buttons is a little off in Android

"New activity" form

Fields:

• ID (automatically generated)
• Title
• Frequency (days, but stored as hours)

Access the field through a button at the top of the screen (a la iOS) for now

Show activities in order of next to do

Do not allow two activities to have the same title – show error
