pictroid's Issues

[Implement] dynamic mixins generation

We need to be able to dynamically generate the mixins by just passing in the count (+data that will populate them). We need to be also able to remove specific mixin(s) by simply passing the PICID (can be done by setting the I'd attribute to the PicID or use similar identifiable info). We may want to use a library that allows for DOM operations to be done easily

[Implement] tags

Implement tags for better and easier sorting

[Implement] creating a thumbnail

We need to create thumbnails (very small size) to reduce bandwidth and enhance speed

Testing (TDD)

As we implement new functionality, we need to make sure that all previous functionality works and that no code breaks. To do this, we need to adapt TDD (test driven development). We'll be using mocha (http://visionmedia.github.io/mocha/) TDD framework to do so.

[Implement] search

Need search feature once we have aggregated data from APIs

[Implement] user sessions

When user signs in then they are signed in globally on every user visiting the website

[Implement] Categorisation and sorting of Pics

Actually sort the data by the filters of "popular", " Highest Rated" and "Latest". And categories once get more data

[Migration] to OpenShift

Migrate app to OpenShift

[Get] metadata from image binary

We need to get the date of image (if in image) and all other info (dimension) from the binary of the image.

[Implement] All category APIs

Implement all the categories APIs

[Implement] Parse sync with view counts

Implement Parse synchronization with pic's view counts from mongodb at an interval of 15views
Applicable code: https://github.com/codexa/pictroid/blob/dev/scripts/data.js#L104-L123
Also implement Parse GET pageviews when pic doesn't exist in mongodb (while creating an entry for it)

[Implement] page views

Implement page views using mongodb and then save the number of views on Parse per 15 views

[Modularisation] into routes

Once dev branch is in a stable state then we need to modularise the route code in app.js into separate routes to routes/[route]. This is to keep code manageable and readable

[Implement] getting the uploaded Pics for the user profiles

Get the user uploaded images on the user profile

[Implement] NASA APOD API

Implement and populate DB with the NASA APOD API. also set up web hooks to auto catch new data (daily)

[Implement] Mongodb

Mongodb is needed for counting the pageviews and scalable session storage

[Connect] to production mongodb on heroku

The issue is that this https://github.com/codexa/pictroid/blob/dev/app.js#L60 failing to connect to the remote DB on heroku

[Implement] Categorisation

We need to create the categories and the pages. Should we create seperate pages for each category or just have a template to populate with data

[Get] view count in mixins

Need to query mongodb for view count of a pic and get it's view count into the mixins. Applicable code: https://github.com/codexa/pictroid/blob/dev/scripts/data.js#L151-L212

[Implement] pagination

With 2000+ pics now, we need pagination. We can only make 30req/s so there's a limited to the number of mixins we can have. And especially on the homepage we only should have 6-8 mixins of the "popular" category

Make crossbrowser

Add shims to make it crossbrowser. Features such as flexbox aren't supported by all browser (and/or their predecessors).

[Implement] flag inappropriate

Allow content to be flagged as inappropriate for review (by us). If content violates terms of service then remove PIC and respectively take action (up to closing the uploaders user account)

[Migration] Pictroid on Ruby On Rails

Due to the constrains (I.e. limited to single process) of using nodejs for scalable web apps and being very inefficient for computing, we are migrating to Ruby On Rails (ROR). ROR is highly scalable, reliable and has many more essential features built right into it. The ROR version of Pictroid will be developed in the /ROR branch

[Implement] upload

Completely Implement upload. Where the picture is uploaded to rackspace and a record of the with all metadata (incl. Metadata from image binary) is created in Parse
