EarthTab pulls images from Reddit's SFW nature porn to transform your new tabs into beautiful windows into Earth's natural beauty.

earthtab's Issues

only big images

parse the resolution and only accept large images.

"Favorite" system

So like if the user sees a really cool image they can "fav" it and then it may be randomly chosen to appear again.

Only landscape images

This is going to involve parsing the posted image size/grabbing it/figuring it out/calculating it

Proper build/zip in gulp

Actually build out the gulpfile so that a proper, compressed package is outputted for easy uploading.

Use gulp-zip for the compression.

No repeat images

No repeating already used images.

Have a localStorage store of all the old images used and just like check against that.

Make usedImages list be on the global $ettings object

This way it is much, much more easily accessible.

Currently it's like it's own localStorage object

Trying to set the BG and there's no data to set with

Hard to reproduce, but at least the source of the error is evident:

The problem stems from trying to set the background when there is no data for it to pull from:

if( !this.data.base64Img && !this.data.bgUrl )
  throw "Trying to set background, however could not find a base64Img or bgUrl in the data set!";

Truncate post time

Sometimes the post time will be something dumb like 952 hours - this should be truncated/transformed into days/weeks/months.

Click to open info

It would be nice be able to click as a means of pulling up the info about the pic and not just having it show by default.

Have a "force load/new image" button

So that users can force a new image to be loaded instead of just waiting

Show which sub it's pulled from

Part of the data on the backside of the clock should be which subreddit it's being pulled from.

there should be a url builder fn for fetchRedditData's url param

a little function that accepts the bits that make up the url and gets passed as a param to fetchRedditData

Cheat Code to unlock NSFW pron as well

Using something like cheet.js, make there be a cheat code to unlock actual porn subreddits (from Miguel)

Better way than base64 to store images

I was just reading about the proper way to store images in localstorage and it seems a whole lot cleaner than what we're working with here.

Try removing base64 and see how it affects performance

Try turning off base64'ing the image and see how it effects performance. I am noticing double network calls for the image to be set as the background.

Proper font import

import fonts the proper way and not the google way (so that if offline then no biggie, fonts and a cached image still load)

Have option for a "Dark" theme

Dan liked the idea of having a "dark" theme option which I agree would be neat

Migrate to "chrome.storage.sync"

Migrate away from chrome.storage.local and to chrome.storage.sync so that user's settings will sync across their devices.

Fetch new results if none are found in the first 25

Huge bug found that was causing tons of issues.

So essentially loopThroughRedditData() was failing because it is only fed 25 results. We need to fetch new reddit data if this is the case.

Pull Quotes off reddit

Pull quotes from something like r/quotes. Have this as an option for users, because not everyone would want this.

Pull jokes off reddit

Pull jokes off reddit from something like r/jokes and have it as an option for users

tutorials on first load

Would be a great idea to display some helpful tips shown to the user when they first load up the app.

It could just like explain favouriting and things like that.

Clear Used Images Button

Add a button so that users can easily clear away their store of used images and start again fresh.

Major issue on first run

Everytime the entire localstorage is cleared/the app is run for the very first time, a breaking error is thrown:

I think it has to do with $ettings not existing, so maybe something like that Object.observe() may be useful here.

Remove frequency slider

Frequency is going to be set to something really small all the time, such as 5mins. This way we don't have to save/set the frequency, and the design will look better because no stupid bar thing.

Other domain sources

Some domains other than just i.imgur would be a huge help.

Remove "[OC]" from post titles

I forget what it means but regardless we should strip it out.

"0:00" displayed at midnight

Not really a pressing issue but whenever there is a spare second this could easily be tackled...
