Twic2 is an experiment in teaching Haskell and architecture by writing new frontend for Twic1.

twic2's Issues

fix REST API response parsing

Annoying things

• backend loses connection (infinite http request, with data frames separated by \r\n) with twitter api server, but can't detect it. There is some algorithm implemented to check for stalls, but it works inefficiently (fixed in 5ae38d3).
• virtual-dom fails to patch event listeners properly. This results in new nodes firing event handlers with data from previous generation (possible fix: don't patch, replace everything every time) (fixed in EugeneN/haskell-virtualdom@d659f72)
• html entities encoding ("&")
• unicode emoji (mis)encoding
• truncated tweet body
• not all embeds are shown

make notifications accept ui markup

refactor feed to use finger tree instead of lists

Write new tweet/reply component

ideas

• follow thread, multiple threads

• follow users, hashtags

• optimistic retweet, star, less notifications

fix notifications popups z-indexes

Busy indicator component

This component should provide a sink for other components to put start job and end job events to. The component should then maintain a stack of active jobs, and display a visual busy indicator in the UI, just above the notifications, when there are more than 0 jobs running.

data BusyCmd = PushBusy | PopBusy
...
busyU <- busyComponent
...
busyU PushBusy
runSomeJob
busyU PopBusy

Embed for youtube, instagram, twitter, ... links

• youtube
• instagram
• vimeo
• twitter
  • embed entities of embedded tweets
  • embedded tweet's toolbar covers parent's toolbar, makes it inaccessible
  • nested embedded tweets width
• do not show links if they point to the same tweet

settings and twitter auth UI

Notifications fixes

• add "close all" button to the top most notification like in atom. This is far from perfect from ux point of view, but we need it for now.
• make body text-align: left; overflow-y: auto
• color-code errors, warnings, infos and success
• add Success constructor
