Fully featured Slack Application User profile system and API

chingu-chimp's Issues

Restructure respond.js

respond.js is an abomination of code - something like 600 lines. it needs to be split into respondCheckin.js / respondUpdate.js / respondProfile.js / respond.js [the latter for general responses]

need: a checkin "form" message

use valStringer functions to build a form message.

process the bulk data received after the final submit button value is posted to the server

/update needs better error checking

At this point consider rewriting the error scanner. It is reactive rather than proactive.

In any case it needs to be able to detect and throw an error for:
general: repeated tags (only one of each expected tag may be used)
projects: gitHub link missing [project url is optional]

/update skills

updating a skill is currently pushing it directly into the respective skill array. first it should check if that skills exists and if so update the skill level. if it doesnt exist then push it into the array (prevents repeats)

return projects list in reverse chrono order

start with most recent projects at the top

need: bare-bones profile input form for testing

a bare-bones profile input form that can be used for testing the backend

automate profile picture updating

add more badges

certifications
number of projects
streaks
total check-ins
number of cohorts
...

needed: front end user profile display in slack

we need to build a slack message to display the user's profile when it is called. it will be comprised of multiple attachments to house everything in an organized and visually appealing way

Help responses

Need a help response for /profile and /checkin
Place the help response in controller.js under the appropriate route (the if block is already set up)

Types and Activities for Check-ins

Detect a redirect when ping-testing certification urls.

Ping-testing is already live for all url flag data. However, it fails to prove the existence of a user's certification because FCC will auto-redirect a failed certification url to the homepage.

Detecting the redirect can be used as a means to determine the validity of the certificate. All certificate urls are already in full (https://www...) form due to input sanitation so there is no reason a certificate url should redirect unless it has been falsified.

Some badges aren't displaying properly on mobile

Chimp breaker badge (hammer+ icon) is not displaying on the slack app. Chimp beta testing badge is though. Determine the cause (file types / sizes / sources) and fix.

Help Needed: Designing new badge concepts (qualifiers) and designing badges (graphically)

Open for suggestions on:

new badge concepts and qualifiers. Examples include "getting your x-x certification", "50 check-ins", "5 projects completed" etc.

badge designs. I made the front end / back end / data vis certification badges using Piskel. any program can be used to make them as long as they are no larger than 32x32 pixels (and display properly in 16x16 format).

respond here or message @vampiire in Chingu Voyage / Central if you are interested in helping.

Create README.md

I think it would be cool if you created a readme, so I knew what your project was about! It would really help with other people as well.

badges?

can badges be added to the profile? keep track anyways for the website. update schema to handle badges

Calling /checkin for yourself should default to Self check-in only

change the -g / -git flags to -r / -repo

user's complained that the -git flag was confusing. changing it to repo will better represent what the flag is used for

stop repeat projects from being added

check matching names and / or github repo links

need: back end processor for bare-bones form

back end database call to process and store the form inputs

Sort array items by date

New items are being .unshift() -ed into the arrays to always display first. That's lazy and should be changed to sort by date.

add a technologies section to the skills array

technologies will encompass database technologies and other non-language and non-framework skills

allow for channel and user check-ins to be returned

show the last 10 check-ins per channel / user on request

consider changing the term "-flag" to "-tag"

some user's said that -flag was confusing. tag maybe easier to follow for those that are less familiar with git and git terminology
