DISCONTINUED - a simple whiteboard drawing program

Hi there 👋

I like programming in Rust, but documentation is important too. It is nice if you use Free (Libre) Software, although I also do not exclusively use Free Software.

I'm currently working on the fediverse server Misskey and associated projects. The software is already awesome and I recommend everyone to give it a go, either as user or instance administrator. The main developer is not very well funded at the moment, so it would be appreciated if you could help them out on Patreon.

Some of my projects are also available outside of GitHub at https://git.qwertqwefsday.eu.

You can view my public GPG keys in this repository too:

neutron's Issues

Switching between different applications

Sometimes it happened that after writing in Neutron and then switching to an other program (e.g. Firefox) the picture on the board was deleted. But only sometimes not every time 😕

Error with open dialog

I don't know the problem but the console showed me this error:

draw.js:475 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
    at dialog.showOpenDialog (draw.js:475)

Sponge frame

Idea to add the feature of a frame for the sponge to see how big the sponge is and where he will delete something.

Error with opening files

A bug we (me and @jugendhacker) found today: When opening a file, it only works if you have drawn something beforehand. The error seems to be that activePath is not correctly initialised.

I think @jugendhacker is working on that?

Scrollbar disappears in v 2.0.1

Autoupdate

I think something like this autoupdater would be a nice idea!

board content disappears

I saw on one board today the problem, that some written parts of text in neutron disappear. But I don't now, why - I didn't saw any connections to an action on the board and the result that because of this action the writing disappears.
So anytime when the word "Frau" was written (with a single F, a single r and au in connection) the "r" disappeared. Sometimes some connected word (connected in the style of writing) were gone away, sometimes single letters (auf -> x, Begründung -> Be ründung). I have no idea why this was happen - I saw it for the first time…

Website - GitHub Pages

If all features of the app are working, we can publish the info-website of Neutron, to initialize our "marketing-process" 😄
We should upload the website after a final check to GitHub, but I have no access to this repository, so that can be your task @Johann150

website german translation

Create an alternative website with a german translation.

The best solution would probably be separate folders: /docs/en/ for the existing pages and /docs/de/ for the german translation.

PDF file as background

Allow the users to use a PDF file as background.

Grid in alpha

Some things we have to fix:

• I found that the optimal size of the grid is 1 cm for each „box“
• maybe we have to add a colourchoose-function to the grid tool, because what if, when the backgroundcolour change to black (so maybe a choice between black #000000, white #ffffff and grey #929292
• and definitely we should change the width of the lines of the grid. At least we should halve the width...

grid-content alignment

Of course with the grid also comes the problem of content alignment between different devices.

Pen icon doesn’t disappear

In previous electron builds, the pencil symbol always disappeared while writing. After the switch to the web version, the pen icon always remains visible, which firstly covers content and secondly can be very confusing when writing.

Agenda 2019

There are some bugs that should be fixed in the next year (because of leaving the institution) and also some non-coding things that should be done in 2019:

• newly written text disappears after scrolling down or using the site-extension
• stupid features of the new Chrome version (like the scrolling with the pencil) should be prevented (maybe by using an old Chrome version?)
• scrollbar is hard to use as it is too far in the corner
• the flicker after an action should not happen anymore
• replace the not used "background-feature" with a tool that displays a background grid
• a pull request for the "Electron Apps" here
• new, adjusted documentation for Neutron
• clarify the question of how to handle updates

Altogether this last version should be stable and pre-tested by "our verified Beta-testers"

board scrolls while writing

The board scrolls while also using the pen tool to write.
This occurred in the new beta version.
