An app for catching up on things.

catchup's Issues

Use a DSL for services?

I'd like to try writing a DSL, and rearchitecting the way services are handled to something composition-based seems like a good opportunity

Use spannable string for header/footer on item cells to reduce view count?

Licenses

Dependencies, but also sources for the vector assets

Status bar should lock new color immediately without animation on pin, animate on unpin

Smmry Controller crashes on rotations

Cache licenses until next build

I can't get Apollo to properly cache these indefinitely, so let's just toss them in Room

Cache Smmry summaries

On Firebase and share results everywhere? Just local?

Longpress to preview summarized content

RedditController paging advances to next page on every rotation

Update GitHub API to use new Graph API

https://developer.github.com/early-access/graphql/

Improve color change animation when going to page multiple items away

Right now it cycles all the colors in between

Investigate tikxml as an alternative to simplexml

Changelog (part 2)

I want to make the changelog actually show details from each release. The idea here would be to take the item itself and then raise/expand on click to reveal the (markdown-rendered) list of changes beneath it.

Apps that do this effect well include Plaid and Flamingo.

Figure out proguard exceptions

I don't care about obfuscating, but optimization is nice. Thing is, proguard barfs on some random classes currently and I don't know why

Unexpected error while evaluating instruction:
  Class       = [android/support/v4/media/VolumeProviderCompat]
  Method      = [getVolumeProvider()Ljava/lang/Object;]
  Instruction = [39] istore_3 v3
  Exception   = [java.lang.IllegalArgumentException] (Value "android/support/v4/media/VolumeProviderCompat$1!" is not an integer value [proguard.evaluation.value.TypedReferenceValue])
Unexpected error while performing partial evaluation:
  Class       = [android/support/v4/media/VolumeProviderCompat]
  Method      = [getVolumeProvider()Ljava/lang/Object;]
  Exception   = [java.lang.IllegalArgumentException] (Value "android/support/v4/media/VolumeProviderCompat$1!" is not an integer value [proguard.evaluation.value.TypedReferenceValue])
Warning: Exception while processing task java.io.IOException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Value "android/support/v4/media/VolumeProviderCompat$1!" is not an integer value [proguard.evaluation.value.TypedReferenceValue]

Client-side API

Similar to Muzei or DashClock. The idea would be that others could make extensions that provide data that could be shown in a section of the feed.

Figure out github query paging

I'm missing something about how endCursor is supposed to be included in fetching more results, currently complains when I try.

ApplicationComponent includes ActivityModule

Don't know how that happened but that's not right... activity stuff should just be a subcomponent

Warm up URLs heuristics

Could anything be done here?

• first couple items of a service ("most interesting")
• on press (but before letting go)

RxViewHolder

For proper binds support

Cache current session

At least the responses, ideally the previews if possible too

Click current tab to scroll to top

Activities leak on rotation

:(

Update to RxJava 2

[Proposal] Make pre-release APK available

Host link via GitHub release doc, Crashlytics Beta support, or Google Play alpha?

Bug reporting in debug

I've got a lens setup, just need to route it somewhere. Would be neat to use GraphQL to submit issues here.

• Create a .graphql file for the issue creation
• Create an Imgur service for hosting images
• Format message nicely to markdown
• Add tags dropdown? (possibly want to query these?)
• Should only be an option when a github token with write abilities is present

Add back crossfade to glide-loaded photos

GithubController accent is green

Not sure why...

Improving perf in list load

Some prior art in #18 #39

Currently there are some jitters in lists. Ideas for improving this:

• Switch items to ConstraintLayout
  • I for the life of me can't get them to work every time I've tried. They look fine in the editor, then explode at runtime.
• Switch to Litho
  • Probably most performant, but also pretty different
• Arch components paging (#39)
  • Could be done in tandem with the rest here
• Use spannablestrings for attribution and header texts to reduce view count
  • This could possibly make ConstraintLayout easier

Update to Conductor 2

JSON Schema for remote hosting

Someone could, say, have a feed somewhere that you can add via URL.

More sources

Options are nice. What do people want?

Imgur support

Should extract image-based services to something generic and reuse for dribbble and imgur

New Medium icon

They've got a new one

Smmry redesign

• full screen
• reflow text transition of the title into toolbar
• loading indicator turns into circular reveal of summary content

Use lazythreetenbp

Better startup perf

Bug reporter crashes when you open the dialog and dismiss keyboard while an image service is loaded

Resuming while summary is open causes duplicate tags

Rewrite in kotlin

In the works

App shortcuts to specific sections

Because why not! Deeplink practice and learning shortcuts

Should default to the first 4, also have a setting to set them. Requires exposing available services keys in settings

About screen todos

• Linkify and set the description text
• Figure out remaining fling issues in collapsing anim (currently offsets don't always fire x_x)
• Add a header to the licenses section
• Gather repo IDs for things to show in license section, add mixins for the rest
• Create .graphql query for nodes and hook up fetching. Cache until next app update
• Crazy idea - Show a viewpager instead with two tabs. 1 - licenses, 2 - commit list of changes predating the current build timestamp/sha.

Unescape Slashdot titles

Smmry Controller instance state handling

Basically - it mostly "just works" right now other than that if it's already loaded, it will show the loader for a split second again before immediately hiding

Make available scrolling distance in about header more dynamic

Reported by @hzsweers

Description

Currently it is a fixed value based on available height, but we should factor in how quickly the content will get clipped to fade more aggressively if need be to avoid it.

Remaining local storage TODOs

TODOs on this are to ultimately

• get rid of having two CatchUpItems
• possibly merge StorageBackedNewsController into the base news controller XOR pull out its loading functionality into something more pluggable and composable (i.e. have a "news loader" and possibly wrap it in a "storage-first loader". I think we probably want to do this in general to push service handling into the DI graph and merge the loading functionality of the dribbble and rest of items' loading.
• It's not clear where things that already have their own baked in caching like Firebase and Apollo fit into this, or if they should just force freshness and let this handle it all for consistency.
• Migrate remaining controllers that don't have their own caching to this. Reddit, Medium, Slashdot.
• Should indices be used in Room?

Re-enable tap-to-scroll-to-top

Disabled in 16cf748

If you go to one page, then another, then back to that page, it crashes because it calls an old saved controller for some reason and not a new (recreated?) one. Need bluelinelabs/Conductor#166

Content previews in list items

Investigate switching to arch components paging

https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/paging.html

Questions:

• How does backfilling work on restoring instance state?
• Does it still make sense if we're storing our own order per "page"? Currently we store a page with a list of remote IDs, maybe this needs to be rethought (such as adding an index to the item and ordering by it)
• How does it it work with infinite scrolling? It's currently very custom internally

Bug reporter should exclude sensitive logs

They get published publicly here. Basically skip okhttp headers
