MTL NewTech's website!

website's Issues

Add a link for initiatives

So people can update the external link for them.

• add link field for initiatives
• add edit/show abilities in admin
• display the link publicly

Add friendly slugs

So our users can visit nice URLs for the events

Add some client-side validation for image upload size

Integrate medium blog

Show our blog posts from medium on our website.

Clean up tests

And make them useful so we can count on them

Embed google form for demo night sign up and style it

We will keep using the google form because it pulls into a nice google sheet automatically, but would be nice to add some custom styling to the forms.

This may or may not be useful:

Create Startup Landscape page

Handle api errors

Right now everything fails if Eventbrite api fails. We should handle this case gracefully and the website should stay up even if the api fails completely.

Test ticket from Code Climate

Add link to external list of startups

http://www.myref.co/en/groups/56/companies?page=4

Add a join us page

Add a join the team and link to form page to recruit

Add omniauth to login with twitter/facebook/github

Preserve formatting of text input

Right now the display of inputted text (eg for a description or something) is losing any initial formatting. The newlines are not displayed properly. Fix this:

• on the index pages (partnerships and member profiles index)
• in the admin partnerships and profiles sections

Add a basic layout

Navigation, flash, footer

Add missing french keys

Update Teams, Partners, and Initiatives

Set up CI, code coverage, code quality, and security monitoring

Circle, codecov, code climate.. gemnasium? Or Haikiri?

• codecov
• circle ci
• hound
• code climate
• gemnasium

Add profile pictures to member profiles

Would be cool to support photos for team members

Finish French translation

Jen to translate all static content

Style 404 and 500 pages

These are static pages served when something goes wrong on our website. They can be found in the project at

public/404.html
public/422.html
public/500.html

They are standalone html pages and can be styled directly there. Would be awesome if they looked nice or similar to the rest of the website.

Set up bugsnag and skylight

For uptime monitoring and exception handling.

Add authorization so we can lock down the admin

I recommend Pundit, works great with Rails.

Add nav links to footer

Include links to events, community events, join us, and initiatives in footer.

Add social icons in footer, too.

Allow users to edit their passwords

We will have to create accounts for all the users, but they need a way to reset their passwords. Add a user management section.

• account page with ability to change email and/or password

Add a job queue

Sidekiq to send emails, etc in background jobs.

Add events index with recurring event info

Add an events index with a general description of the recurring events we put on, alongside the eventbrite events.

• include link to this list on home page

Shorten community calendar event descriptions

Some of them are way too long and it makes it annoying to scroll through on mobile. Maybe on mobile the description should be hidden? Or maybe they should be truncated on both mobile and desktop.

Copy about page

Put static about page

Allow rendering markdown for descriptions

So admins can just put in metadata for event descriptions
