A webapp that allows teams to share their status updates.

checkin's Issues

Checkins can get way way way too long

There's no limit to the length of checkins, so long ones will shove innocent ones who never hurt nobody down to the bottom of the page. We need to either overflow: scroll; in some smart way where unnecessary scroll bars are hidden (there's some trick for this - I don't know why it's not default) and/or cap the length of checkins.

Growing pains, I guess.

most checkins are erroneously listed for "today"

steps to reproduce:
load the app

what happens:
it says today for things from weeks ago

what should happen:
it should have the right day

Integrate with Awesomesauce

If a user sees something the like in a checkin, they should be able to post an appreciation to Awesomesauce. This will require that the user is logged in, since Awesomesauce posts are tied to email accounts.

As with all features working with external services, this feature should be disabled until it's configured.

Send email updates

It would be cool if the app sent emails once a day with any updates so that people don't have to check the board. Or maybe I should stop spamming people...

Interface to show a specific team's history

Currently, the only way to see a team's history of checkins is to browse through the full history. This gets tedious especially when the team has checked in sporadically.

Each team's history should be immediately available upon clocking a button or link on the team's current checkin. The history could be displayed as an extension of that checkin box or as a pop-up dialog.

Add Markdown documentation link

Having a link to Markdown syntax would be nice for people who don't know it.
