waffle's Issues

Interpret "downloads" as a BrowserMode, I guess.

Need to be able to handle saving/downloads to specific locations.

rendermode breaking somtimes on histoyr manipulation; menus get rendered as text

implement "up" directory

we can always assume that "up" on a text file is a menu, likewise for a menu. :)

investigate potential memory leak

https://wiki.haskell.org/Memory_leak

Releases

• Snap
• Maybe standalone (static) Linux

open link #

Links are currently numbered. Make it so you can enter in the link number to open it.

network loading indicator

Jump to link number feature, p n to jump to previous and next as well

polish file browser ui

implement indexsearchserver

fix up status bar in general

• Text file status
• Menu status
• Download status
  Stylize and add some consistency.

Clean up code

• Safety
• Put each mode's event handler in their own module
• Clean comments, including moving TODOs and FIXMEs to issues and their details
• Document
• Modularize better so more stuff is moved out of UI
• Modularize better; put thing in their own modules appropriately and submodules etc
• Better imports
• Better exporting+module documentation (specifically import certain things!)

Add the already implemented downloader to other filetypes (including being a catchall)

Limit horizontal/right scrolling in menu mode

Currently you can keep scrolling right as long as you please... it should stop scrolling right once the farthest-right character in the entire menu is on the same column as the farthest-right viewable column (typical viewport behavior).

implement popup notices, especially for errors

this might be tricky. i guess it's no biggie if bg is black but uhhh... returning to previous state might be a little tricky... really need to make a true state engine? i'm not sure what the best way to approach this is.

Tor support

use network-anonymous-tor-0.11.0

cannot go back/forward to a text file?

Key for getting info on currently selected item

This will require keeping the GopherMenu in the application state.

Have download type association editor?

Be able to handle images various types that have been downloaded by assigning them to external programs to open the downloaded file.

This isn't very thought out, but basically, some things like images you want to just pop up once downloaded in some kinda viewer.

Can't scroll text files horizontally

fix up text file viewer/ui

• #21
• Don't show a border on left and right because of the double-width character error

going up a directory breaks on history/back for some reason

Bug: you can go back in history to render a text file as a menu

use layers for dialogs

https://github.com/jtdaugherty/brick/blob/master/programs/LayerDemo.hs

no progress mode or indication for search

This download works a little bit differently,but maybe things can be modularized between searchGet and gopherGet and all the progress mode stuff using higher order functions to reduce/refactor.

Someone suggested ASCII color escapes? Not sure about implementing this...

Like an ASCII art color mode?

reload page

Open HTML pages in default web browser

Open link with 'o'

Could just use a single field for a gopher URL. More convenient than thethree field style with gopher.

mouse support

I saw an ascii art project in brick do this

https://github.com/jtdaugherty/brick/blob/master/docs/guide.rst#mouse-support

Cannot correclty interpret plaintext files served via Gopher...

make a search in page function

help text file/screen

? for help

Could even double as homepage. Waffle ASCII art with "waffle" text.

Should probably be implemented after #38.

Caching

Don't re-request stuff that was accessed recently. This also means that you'll have to have a refresh button or something.

Also refresh ability...

Handle errors with brackets and dialog boxes

Here's an incomplete listing:

• History index error
• Incorrect starting args
• Invalid line selection
• Network errors

Can grep to view all error lines, as well, which generally should be handled with an error dialog box.

Inference for resources

might need to develop resource inference

Crashes when history indx is too large or too small

crashes when trying to follow a nonlink line

In menu mode.

Get rid of vertical borders in text file mode

Otherwise emojis and double-width characters will bug out the vertical borders. COuld get rid of the borders altogether.

Custom Theme Support

Make it so you can:

• Toggle emoji mode
• Change arrow/"asterisk" to other characters
• Change borders
• Change all the colors and styles

I believe this is pretty much all mostly doable through the Brick INI thingy.

Need to optimize scrolling; scrolling is very slow

titlebar doens't update when using history

bookmarking

Cannot scroll horizontally

Cannot scroll horizontally for those extra long lines in menu mode.

Be able to set a homepage

Can even be a custom, local gopher menu

http link emulator support (brick)

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/brick-0.52/docs/Brick-Widgets-Core.html#v:hyperlink

for web http links in menu... just a consideration

clean up index search ui

Cursor menu select item

Use arrows to move up and down links and hit enter to follow link.

Bonus if make menu/links colored.

README is out of date

byte count/download is incorrect

There's not a huge difference, but the count is slightly off when doing an accumulative count (count as bytes come in) vs. just counting total bytes of everything after it's been accumulated.
