CoViD Tracker Vision Statement

Problem

There's a lack of easy 'on-demand' access to sorted data surrounding the Coronavirus Disease 19 and correlated data.

Proposed Software Solution

Getting the latest data should be as simple as clicking an icon or issuing a simple command, like so:

$ covid_tracker

Moreover, you should be able to get vital information, arranged in a way that makes sense, like so:

It should also be in a language that is available by default (or easily obtained) in practically any computing environment one might find themselves in; Python

covid_tracker's Issues

Should have a README with basic instructions

[Feature] Work off of rolling cache to limit polling of data source

[Enhancement] Refactor Code with Deviant Style

This will ensure uniformity and therefore readability. Refactor is in accordance with PEP 8

[Bug] Timestamp at End of Output Incorrect When Pulling Data from Cache

Describe the bug
Timestamp at end of data output is incorrect in cases where data was pulled from cache

Additional context
This is happening because the current time is always called when data is fetched, whether-or-not the information is old.

[Feature] Store every query of the data source along with the time/date when the associated query was made, persistently

[Feature] Break Down Granular Stats State-by-State

There should be a way to change settings

Three ways (I figure):

• CLI
  switches/parameters
• INI file
• GUI
  settings window

[Feature] Plot data on graphs

[Critical] BUG - Application does not start using the --gui flag

The first place the missing variable is here. The problem is that I didn't properly complete the logic for loading a theme string from a value in a config file, or sans the file, default to Dark2. This logic being incomplete leaves 'app_theme' undefined in the absence of a config file.

I''ll push a temporary hotfix.

NOTE: This hotfix will make the app_theme 'DarkAmber', not sure if one can set it to something else easily yet until we get a more perm fix in.

[Documentation Correction] Replace Screenshots w/ Current Screenshots

Since the restyling of the program's GUI, a screenshot has not been taken to replace the one linked currently in README.md

[Feature] (Tentative) Create an update system

Possibly include automatic (unattended) updates

[Streamline] Determine how often the data source (on average) updates their data. and if said data is updated all at once, or is it a trickle?

is it updated all at once, or is it a trickle...?

[Enhancement] Assign Icons to Application

The 'deceased' category is trying to add 'None' type

Should include logic to prevent that from happening like I did with the 'recovered' field

Needs Way to Save Settings

Currently the program only pops a 'Not Yet Implemented' Window' 😞

[covid_tracker] lib/gui/models/windows/settings.py (Lines 57-61)

            if event == 'settings_win_ok_bttn':
                qt.PopupOK(
                    'Saving settings isn\'t currently implemented. This will close the window and NOT save settings',
                    icon=err_icon)
                win.close()

Open in IDE

[Enhancement] Make GUI More Appealing

Change default 'Look & Feel' to something more palpapable and give users the ability to change theme

Need Changelog
