postcardapp's Issues

Edit my postcards

Limit edit to only my postcards.

We could also do with adding some UX around this...
For example: view/filter "my postcards" so you can edit/delete your cards from there. Otherwise the main view would be read only.

Add postcards "to" contacts

Update postcard to save / update "to" array

Publish on Google Play / App Store?

I think this project would be even more impressive if folks could just download a pre-built version. In the case of iOS, it would be all the more impressive if it passed the Apple review process. 😉

Any chance of a built version coming out soon? Or at least an APK we can download?

Please checkin SVG version of postcard app icon to github

UI for Identity Exchange

Demo for Identity Exchange process.

Polymer 1.0 Build script for production

Setup Polymer vulcanize & gulp script to build app as production webapp.

Getting the ability to submit the postcard using the keyboard

Right now you have to type with the keyboard but when you want to submit the postcard you have to hit a check mark in the upper right hand corner. No native app works this way because they add a key to the keyboard and so the experience is really quite jarring for people used to native apps.

What happens when I run the postcard app as a Cordova plugin on UWP? If there is no onscreen keyboard (such as desktop) then what will occur?

Having an IdentityExchange problem with iOS

Working with Tobe on this

Connect identity exchange UX to REST back end

We need the existing identity exchange UX which is talking to a mock of the REST backend for identity exchange to talk to the real thing.

Get postcard app to stop crashing

The postcard app has a bad habit of randomly crashing due to a JSON parsing error somewhere deep in express land. We need to understand why this is happening and fix it.

Postcard app needs to notify someone when necessary radios aren't available

On Android, for example, it's possible for Bluetooth or WiFi or BLE to be off. We need to query the native API and if we see a problem notify the user.

Remove refresh button

Changes should be automatically synced instead.

Sanitize username

Prevent use of reserved characters ";" in username.

From name needs to use 'pet names'

Postcards from name should use identity exchange 'pet names' instead of suggested author name

We need UX elements to expose connectivity information

#63 will add events to the replication manager to state when we have discovered someone and when we are connected to the. So now we need a way to expose that information in the UX so that people can quickly see if they have successfully found/connected to anyone.

Readme for building Postcard on Windows

Add readme instructions for building Postcard for Android on a Windows dev machine.

Sort postcards in list

I expect to see newest postcards at the top.
Default sorting should be by date added / modified depending on preference.

Need to fix file location for postcard app db

Right now we put leveldown into temp directory on iOS so it gets randomly deleted. We need to instead use Mobile.getDocumentsPath

Previously synced postcards should update 'from' after Identity Exchange

After identity exchange older postcards don't get updated with the trusted 'from' property as we only refresh the card changes. So the entire list of postcards would need refreshed after an identity exchange.

Add JSCS and JSHint to Postcard App

This is to add JSCS and JSHint into the Postcard App to enforce good coding styles. Also investigate CSSLint as a way to enforce good CSS styles

Toggle Delete button adjusts list scroll

When toggling delete button visibility the scroll position of the list should not change.

iOS 9 ATS localhost

Add iOS 9 App Transport Security plugin for localhost support to Cordova config.xml

Create the postcard client cordova app

Fix bower components to exact version

At first launch saving a username data raised a save error. It appears the iron-form-reponse component no longer returns the expected json reponse data. I suspect this must be bower install grabbing minor updates of Polymer components.

It maybe best to fix bower packages to specific version by removing the ~ char in order to avoid minor updates which may introduce untested and potential breaking changes in the client.

Steps to get node-gyp working on Windows 10

I tried quite a few things but in the end this set of steps seemed to work for me.

http://stackoverflow.com/a/27385865

I do have VS2015 installed but it seemed like I needed to install VS2013 desktop edition as well. Then I followed the steps from the above stackoverflow post.

Localhost development reference error "Mobile is not defined"

Which 'mockmobile.js' should be copied into thali module dir to avoid reference error?

ReferenceError: Mobile is not defined

Photo UX

The UI will need updated to use <iron-image> for binding in <iron-list> view and nice way to add / remove image attachments in the Editor

Building Cordova app gives error regarding min sdk version

Below is the failure I got. I edited the androidmanifest.xml file and changed the min version to 16 to get around this. I am not sure what the correct way to fix this is.

Cordova 'build failed' due to missing jxcore plugin

When building story_0 I'm getting a 'Build Failed' in the Console log:

/Users/david/Scripts/postcardapp/platforms/android/src/io/jxcore/node/JXcoreExtension.java:168: error: cannot find symbol

Or when removing and re-adding platforms:
+++ WARNING +++ Please re-add io.jxcore.node plugin

For some reason the jx npm install script isn't adding the jxcore plugin anymore...

Please fix our node.js logging

Please make sure that all console.logs are removed and replaced with our Winston logging. Talk with @mpodwysocki for the details.

Tracking bug for JXcore leveldown issue

Please see jxcore/jxcore#597

There is a work around which is to nuke node_modules and re-install with npm instead of 'jx install' but that is not good. We need this fixed.

Postcard app logo

• Display logo while web app loads into iframe.
• Add Cordova icons for iOS and Android to config.

Use 'to' field to highlight postcards sent to you

By default postcards should share with everyone. Otherwise we should probably filter postcards sent to you or highlight these...

Save username result is no longer accepted at login in story_0

On first launch the save username result is no longer returning expected 'data.user' json result and shows an error alert.
https://github.com/thaliproject/postcardapp/blob/story_0_dadougla/www/jxcore/public/elements/page-login/page-login.html#L98

Workaround is to close app and reopen as the username is saved as 'me' record.

url encode device identity

Ideally this would be a nicer fix on the plugin side...
But until then we could URL encode the device identity on the client so it can be used with REST calls?
One option is using Base64 - https://github.com/RGBboy/urlsafe-base64/blob/master/lib/urlsafe-base64.js

Include Python is the dependencies list

Include "npm install -g python" in the dependencies section.

unable to run postcard app (story_0 branch)

Working off of Story_0 Branch, trying to get the postcard app running on 2 android devices. Following instructions listed in readme from that branch. Here is the console output from the Mac and a screenshot is below taken on Android device (Samsung S6, Lollipop v5.0.2). Attempting to build and deploy from OSX Yosemite.

$ jx --version
v0.10.38
$ cordova -v
5.1.1

Notes: (possible issues and or documentation updated needed)

1. Step 6 in instructions (jx npm install --production) - line 613 in attachment - needed to call with sudo as it required elevated permissions.
2. Line 1789 in attachment - failed to install the cordova plugin. Permissions issue again, even though sudo jx npm install --production was used.

It still produced the apk, and I was able to deploy the app to devices, but the app didn't do anything when it started as seen in the screen shots.

I also attached the chrome://inspect debugger to the cordova webview, and did not see any console errors or warning.

Refresh only changes

Instead of automatically reloading postcard data when changes are detected we should use the event detail to reflect these changes on the client. Related to issue #31

Take a photo!

We need to take and store photos

Shrink the postcardapp!

The postcard app has bloated to 163 megs! That is just plain nuts. We need to find out who checked in something huge and get rid of the @#$@ing binaries!

Have a button to delete the local database to run clean

JX install is broken for postcard app

Right now JX doesn't reliably download and kills our build so we need to fix it. The claim is that the newer script runs more reliably so we want to try and test that.

Add autoremove argument to our install directions

The latest versions of jxcore support it.

Polymer element Unit Tests

Make a start on Unit Testing with Polymer web app.

Update readme and demo video

Remove 'demo.gif' from repro and replace with image link from this issue.

Implement Identity Exchange API

Start implementing the Identity Exchange REST API (related to #37)

Put together the skeleton

We need to bring together cordova, jX-core on cordova, PouchDB, a skeleton replication manager, a skeleton discovery library and get that together so we can use that to drive work both below and above us.

Unknown "to" fields being lost after sync update

Postcards are shared with everyone by default. However if the postcard is edited by someone else the "to" fields can be reset if that person has not exchanged identities. (Then again this maybe solved by editing only your own postcards but would be good to fix)

The "find" command in bash does not support "-delete"

I was able to get the old fashioned way to work "find . -name '.gz' -exec rm -rf {} ;" but I did run into "file or path name too long" errors.

Route to Postcards page if user record found

Check for persistent login 'Me' id record and route to login page if none found.
