Practice spelling of words with a list of self-defined vocabulary.

vocabulary-test's Issues

Exercise becomes unreliable on multiple runs

There seems to be an issue, when running exercises multiple times (with or without changing vocabulary) without restarting the app.

Add internationalization

Currently the app is in german language. There should be an option to switch at least between german and english.

Clicking outside of input field deletes content

When the app enters the phase, where a user should enter text, then clicking outside of the text input field deletes the content of that field.

Error when unpacking/running on Mac

Unpacking of "Vocabulary.Test-darwin-x64.zip" (with Keka) delivered an error:

Fehlercode 2 mit “p7zip”
Fataler Fehler

After starting the app anyway, the app shows this error:

Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries
Dyld Error Message:
 Library not loaded: @rpath/Electron Framework.framework/Electron Framework
 Referenced from: /Users/USER/Downloads/*/Vocabulary Test.app/Contents/MacOS/Vocabulary Test
 Reason: image not found

Provide a way to edit vocabulary in the app

Currently the vocabulary file has to be edited directly. There should be a way, to edit the vocabulary for exercise in the app.

App needs a password-protected area

Purpose:
Provide screens for administrative tasks, like

• Modifying the vocabulary
• Changing the password

Questions:

• How to store the password, so that it is not readable for everyone?
  • Possible: https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto
  • See also: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/node-js-password-hashing-crypto-module/
• Should it be possible, to opt out of the password usage?
• Should the password be resettable?
• What to do, if the password is forgotten?

Store data in a different way, but not in .txt or .json files

Except for the password, the currently stored data is no secret:

• Vocabulary for exercise (in vocabulary.txt)
• Statistics about past exercises (in statistics.json)

But by storing it in files, it is prone to manipulation. So maybe a blockchain could do the trick:

Upgrade electron-builder to latest version

When using the latest version of electron-builder, an error occurs:

(node:48) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Unknown option "platform"

This is a known bug in the quasar build command, which causes problems with the current electron-builder API. A fix seems to be in progress, but right now going back to version 21.0.2 is the only way to resolve this issue.

If the pull request for this fix made its way into a release, upgrade to the latest version.

When this is done, there might be a chance, that quasar build --mode electron --target all will work again as well.

On Mac the App won't close correctly

Applies to Mac only:

When closing the App, it will in fact go to the background. The App should close instead of going to the background.
