WWIP badge for websites. Do a pull and plz give feedback for the badge options on /home (after you're logged in).

Purpose: Associate implications with the verification process (see issue #34) created to solve the stale, incorrect company data.

Verified within the past 6 months = Active
Verified more than 6 months - 1 year = Inactive
Verified more than 1 year ago = Remove company from site (logical delete)

Still need to flush out:

• Active / Inactive filtering functionality for site users?
• How is this data displayed on a company detail page?

I had created a profile for myself months ago, and when I go to sign in, it doesn't recognize me on either twitter or linked in. I connected w/ linkedin this morning & it was trying to get me to create a new user (user 1530) but if you search for my name, a profile already exists for me. I don't want to create a duplicate "Jessica Victor"

http://weworkinphilly.com/companies/99999

This stuff is outside the typical rails standards and should be fixed.

https://github.com/alexknowshtml/We-Work-In-Philly/blob/master/config/routes.rb

This isn't anything major just something I noticed.

The people page now loads randomly as per my earlier request (thanks!),
but it seems to activate the randomness per page load. So if you try to
browse the directory by using the prev/next links, it reorders the list
each page and you'll see repeats mid browsing.

Some ideas:

Assign the random-ness as state and reshuffle the collection nightly.

Remove the pagination option while viewing randomly and replay with a
link to grab 25 more random people (admitting to the user you may see
dups on occasion).

Remove the pagination option and add a button to load more on the page
with AJAX (using a filter to avoid profiles that are already on the screen).

Hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

I think it would be great to have two states: verified in the last six months, and unverified in the last six months, and there could be a filter for that for anyone using the data, i.e. the map, search, whatever.

To get that, I suggest a monthly auto-email that contains details and a one-click confirm click to verify/update.

I believe the fact that we created a map widget using a single API key is against the terms of use. I haven't confirmed that is the case, but my guess is that it's the reason. I admittedly hadn't thought of this until now.

Here are the map links:
http://weworkinphilly.com/companies/map
http://phillystartupleaders.org/map/

Here is the error message:
Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application. The provided key is not a valid Google API Key, or it is not authorized for the Google Maps Javascript API v3 on this site. If you are the owner of this application, you can learn about obtaining a valid key here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key

right now only person can do it for themselves.

There is no client-side validation, and there should be

Add the following filter fields from the screenshot attached to front end company listing page.

Regions, Industry and Classification Filters will depend on the completion of GitHub Issue #41.

Work required:

1. Add a sidebar section to the front end of the company listings page
2. Add the filter fields listed in the attached screenshot to the sidebar
3. Display companies in the company list based on filter selections

Create new heroku app for staging. Add same collaborators.

Tried on companies and people.

We can set up a custom error page instead of that "we're sorry page." We can also have that page do something like email the error to us. As we increase oauth services, this could be very helpful in pre-emptive issue management.

Make the contact about X options more friendly.

ePDX (and I think Citizenry but we may need to merge with latest code) has logins for:

• the ones I'd pick to integrate

Currently only one address displays on the map per address. So, for example, only MoverBase shows up at 20 N3rd, and only SBT shows up at 1315 Walnut. The maps should somehow show all orgs/companies at each location.

It would be nice to add github and, perhaps, other services for login and listing.

Purpose: Collect an email that will represent the company. This email is company metadata (not connected to a user). It will be used for the verification process (see issue #34 )

Requirements:

• Field label: Company Email Address
• Instructional Text: "We recommend you use a general company email address (e.g. [email protected])."

Find a way to publish data for developers. The /changes data is probably a good place to start and already has RSS.

the json API appears to be only showing the first element of each of the arrays for either Tags, Companies, and Groups. Here are examples.

http://weworkinphilly.com/people/brad-oyler ( i have mad companies...)
http://weworkinphilly.com/people/brad-oyler.json ( i only have 1 company )

Any ideas why? Or which file handles this for people controller? Thx.

Rails default forms showing through.

Add additional fields to the company records

1. Industry (comma separated list - self identified)

This should function similar to technology in terms of input - free range, comma separated.

Work required:

1. Add this field to the add/edit page for companies
2. Add this field to the company front end pages

These would eventually serve as filterable items to allow users to be able to filter the list of companies based on specific criteria.

@weworkinphilly you might want to add it to the profile edit page which is where i land when i click my username

A feature request from Karl Martino that I agree with:

"I would like the order of tags [displayed on my profile] to be what I enter in the field. I did not expect the profile page to re-order them."

There are a lot of non-startup startups listed under the startup filter, even in a very over-broad definition of startup, e.g. accountants are listed there.

I don't suggest doing anything differently since people should be able to self identify, but it would be nice to have another layer to somehow filter this out.

The best idea I have here is to let people add more information and then let us filter on that, i.e. goal: high-growth, indie, etc.; investment: bootstrapped, <1M, 1-5M, etc., and perhaps most importantly space: internet, search, etc.

I want to be able to say here are the startups that I care about, e.g. because they are like me, in my stage, etc., so I could connect with them.

They've put up a bunch of updates in the last few days (I wonder why ;) ). Let's try a merge.

Show a small map from the address on a Company profile page.

It would be useful to allow people to add more filterable meta-data, e.g. I'm an investor and even more I invest in these areas.

Can we create an github org called 'WeWorkInPhilly' and have this repo hosted there?

logical inverse of "i want to be hired" for people.

https://twitter.com/mmbizon/status/106461287629848576

What can we do to make this process easier? Include a link to jobs pages if they exist? Other ideas?

Tag Autocomplete for edit pages -- cleaner structured data. We should limit the number of tags as well to ensure more quality tags.

Thinking a bit ahead about the likely recruiter situation - adding an attribute that is "no" by default, but lets people opt in to be contacted about jobs and/or gigs.

This opens the door for "hire me" options to be turned on and do some interesting things there, but also have leverage if a recruiting firm says "they didn't say they didn't want to be contacted".

An email to Alex from Ed Tettemer

Subject: so groovy

I'm so excited by the WeWorkInPhilly site. I don't even know why but I am. One peeve, from an old-school fan of the English language. When sorting by name, we wish the site recognized the fact that last names should be alphabetized, not first. It's a little juvenile otherwise.

But hey, if that's the worst thing I have to say, we're doing ok.

The page is here:http://weworkinphilly.com/mapfeed

The route file indicates where to find the method which generates the json:

get 'mapfeed' => 'maps#wwip_json'

My profile: http://weworkinphilly.com/people/phil-ives

Try to login using choose automatically:phil_ives

It directs me to linkedin login (not sure how i originally created it)

I successfully authenticate via linked in.

I'm prompted to create a new user via WWIP.

Clearing cooking and attempting twitter login does not resolve the issue.

i get this message when i do that : A user already exists for phil_ives, but you're using a different login method than we've seen for them. Please try again with with the 'choose automatically' option selected.

If the returned search results = 0, we get an error page on Heroku.

They should probably be a dropdown or at least autocomplete. I wasn't paying close attention and I thought the "category" field was tags. So I added Tattooed Mom's under a category header called "beer, tacos." Which I don't hate in this context, but seems counterintuitive.

The 2nd Item is the logo.
You suggest using a minimum of 220 pixels. But its blowing it up funny. See attached screen shot.
I have a 220px 72dpi png - and this is how it looks:

List basic method calls.

Add additional fields to the company records
1. Region (fixed list - Center City, North Philly, South Philly, Outlying, etc.)
2. Industry (comma separated list - self identified)
3. Company Type (fixed list - Product, Services)

Region list should be a fixed list but controllable elsewhere (i.e. admins could add additional regions)

Work required:

1. Add these fields to the add/edit page for companies
2. Add these fields to the company front end pages

These would eventually serve as filterable items to allow users to be able to filter the list of companies based on specific criteria.

In reviewing the code to generate the maps json, I noticed that both the Companies & Groups call geocode_or_return and only load the json if this method returns true.

geocode_or_return calls the external Geocoder api for every address that doesn't have a latitude and longitude already set. Since the Company class already sets the location in the after_validation callback, making the separate API call within the context of an interactive request seems excessive. There's a very low chance that an address would have a positive if it didn't have one when it was most recently saved.

"What do you think about firing off an email any time something is created, edited or deleted, and including a dump of that change? Would help me watch for any vandalism, which I don't think we've had yet but want to be prepared to deal with in our own special way.

It can be super dirty, no fancy formatting necessary - and we can use Postmark's rails gem for sending."

Do an autocomplete for tags in the form to cut down on dupes and misspellings.

"On the People detail page, should clicking the website URL open a new browser window so the user doesn't navigate away from your site?"

We may want to do this on all outbound profile links.

Should probably search tags as well.

We need a distinct design. Let's talk about ideas.

Tweak 1

• Delete an Account
• Show which Twitter account is being linked to the account

I was logged into twitter as one of my clients from the weekend. twitter.com/streamlight
I went to create an account - so I put in my startup's twitter ID - iwoofdup

It went to twitter and used the logged in profile (streamlight). I didn't realize I was already logged in.
I didn't know it was streamlight because it didn't mention which account it was.

Now I can't delete the Streamlight twitter to iWoofdUp account.
I've tried to recreate the account while being logged into twitter as iwoofdup but it says the account already exists.

I can see people doing this by being logged into their twitter account and not their company's.

Currently only the People tab is randomized by default. Should do the same for the other tabs.
