convo-app's Issues

submission flow: wait time causes people to submit multiple times

Issues with Early Convo Posting (DAF)

it shows up on https://www.convo.cafe/all all showing January 8th, the date of the first event
five duplicates are shown -- are those meant to be the next events in the series?

when you click into the series, you see 999/999 seats available (maybe it was user error, he should have left it at 0?)

you also see duplicates for feb 12, march 11, march 25 (user error? did he mean to skip weeks or not?) Or API error?

Editing an event: remove 'Delete All Events' button

When editing an event, a button at the top that reads 'Delete All Events' comes up.

It does feel like a 'Cancel Event' button would be nice, but 'Delete All Events' doesn't make sense at this point in the process (where I'm just editing one event).

If you do create a 'Cancel Event', recommend moving it down somewhere slightly.

Let's create a new ticket for that if it's meant to be done / close this one out.

additional (and intentional) step after clicking RSVP to submit email (if applicable) and nickname

Clear the Archive Before Go-Live

https://www.convo.cafe/archive currently has all the test events @vs77bb and @anggxyz have been having fun creating -- clear them before we go-live

prompt for proposer's email if create google event is checked on creation of event

UI: better loading state for home page

editing a convo

• series events bugs. every time you edit a convo with more than one event to add a new event in the series it creates a new event in google calendar for all the previous ones

• duration does not show up

Encouraging Cozy Conversations

          @anggxyz and I discussing today; beyond copy, is there anything else we can do to encourage cozy conversations in the UI? 

Radio buttons to help with expectations of the event

• 6-8 people in the limit by default? "Cozy, cafe, easy to keep everyone in the same convo"
• 8-20 people "Unconference, possible to get inputs from everyone but breakouts needed"
• More than 20 "Big event, think about how you'll be breaking up the room into smaller, meaningful groups"

Are there ways to encourage certain types of hosting?

User should be able to see the state of their rsvps on the event page

When I open an event page I should be able to

1. see the n events out of the m events that I have submitted my RSVP for. And in what way. with email or without email.
2. I should be able to remove my rsvp from there -> which should remove me from the google calendar event if applicable

Convo's Posting Without Confirmation / Submission

Convo's are posting without a user clicking submit.

When proposing a convo, I nav'ed away from the page, came back, and it had auto-posted.

@AliyA mentioned this happened to her yesterday when posting the Denver dinner.

User's owned data management: Event, nickname

• editing proposed events
• nickname
• editing rsvps
• viewing rsvps

loading state on mobile

allow a single user to have multiple connected wallet addresses

Migration plan: Checklist

• write a script to move data from digitalocean DB to supabase (do we need to pay for Supabase?)
• setup a sync conversation with the stewards (v,a,a,s) to review:
  • functionality
    • create an event: everyone creates an event (2 create series, 2 single events)
    • view the events on google calendar + slack (test channel)
    • rsvp: everyone rsvps to 3 events (2 anonymously, 1 with email)
    • should receive email invite for 1
    • edit rsvp for 1 anonymously rsvp'd event - add email, receive invite
    • edit proposed event (will later be adding a filter option on /all to be able to filter for just owned events)
  • copy of all pages
  • look and feel (UI)
• move domains (convo.kernel -> cloudflare, i should have access via angela@kernel)
• post a lowkey announcement on #kernel-convo or #announcements?

Copy under the propose page

Edit Seat Limits

As a host in edit view, I should also be able to edit seat limits for an event.

restrict access to admin apis

Convo Space Integration

https://theconvo.space/

Bug: number of seats do not update on rsvp

All RSVPed Guests See The List of RSVPs

I think it is good for all RSVPs can see the list of who is coming to an event, by default. Participants over hosts, more ability for each participant to act like a host.

add a changelog - a description of why new version was required

Report a bug button

Remove Live + Upcoming Today From Home Page

Just have next 7 days (or next 14 days)?

Could have another button to go to 'All Events'

definitely don't need Live, could be nice to have Today, but i don't think it's helpful (as if you're seeing today's event there, it's probably too late to get it into your schedule)

'Proposing as' editability

As a host, I'd still like the ability to edit the 'Proposing As' field so that it can read something custom, even if it is tied to my profile / my account by default.

Default state: 'Proposing As' = name chosen for account (i.e. 'vivek')
Edit state: I can change it to 'vivek & angela', 'kernel stewards', etc.

User owned data: Edit Event Form

Edit Event Form

• add a user verification hook on the edit page -- check if proposed user is the same as logged in user, if not, display a blank page with a message saying you're not the proposer of the event, etc.
• do not display "create google calendar" option on editing
• do not display signature component -- display pre-filled text field instead
• description and sessions are not being prefilled
• verify signature + check if the retrieved address from the sig is the same as the proposer's on the api

function that sends a google calendar invite if requested (given an email + event's google calendar event id)

No loading UI (Suspense)

If you're new here

Hi 👋🏽 This is an open source repository and welcomes any and all kinds of contributions. What you'll see in the issues is any feature requests and bugs that were raised by the team at Kernel or anyone using the app. Feel free to pick an issue, comment, contribute or assign to yourself to work on it.

Bug: Check if currently connected account is owner of the event when editing an event

User owned data: RSVP page

RSVP page

• display the number of rsvps for each event on the rsvp page (for anyone who has rsvp'd to an event) -- under the link "who else is going to be there?"
• display a view rsvps button -> opens a modal with nicknames / nicknames + emails for the owner of the event

do not display "edit event" button for past events

Proposed By: Edit To Include Multiple Hosts

Quick fix: make it easy to edit the 'Proposed By' field in https://www.convo.cafe/propose

Long term: ability to add users as hosts (they would have to accept the invitation to be co-hosts)

Bug: event date in db and google calendar are off - the start datetime on google calendar is the end datetime of the event specified in the form

UI Fixes

• confirmation modal, add confirmation state right after an RSVP has been recorded
• loading state (home, /all, /archive)
• right after successful editing -> redirect to the event page
• right after successful propose -> redirect to the event page
• the filter buttons look weird -- better select options for ("by me", "all" in home, /all and /archive)

Attendee <> Event

1. [later] I should be able to contact the host
2. I should be able to see who else will be there at the event (who else has RSVPd - nicknames + compressed addresses)

option to cancel / delete an event (should mark isDeleted = true)

do not show "edit event" if none of the events are in the future

As an event owner i should not be able to edit an event / event series if the event or all the events belonging to the series are in the past

Removing 'Archive' from the top line

Recommend moving 'Archive' to the 'All' category (https://www.convo.cafe/all) and removing it from topline (per previous discussion).

Within 'All', create a fourth subheader called 'Archive'

Recommend it reading:

All Upcoming Convos
Each of these convos is intended to further a peer-to-peer, horizontal learning environment.

• all upcoming
• by me
• my rsvps
• archive

@vs77bb would like to go into the code here and perhaps, if he's lucky, make some of these copy changes himself.

New Convos are going to 'Testing Convo', not 'Kernel Convos'

Active as of today, 1/21/2024

Archive page options: "by me" / "all"

          Archive page options: "by me" / "i attended" / "all"

All page options: "by me" / "i'm attending" / "all"

cron jobs

1. checks for past events - removes email field
2. checks for present and future events, checks for attached google calendar event with each, fetches attendee email list from google calendar event and updates the database (still thinkking if we rly rly need this)

add google calendar icon with the event name on the rsvp page

a little google calendar icon that represents if this event has an associate gcal event -> it would require an optional entry of email for invite -> a tooltip that says that

Bug: restrict creating rsvp via API if no seats available

Convo Types (Waitlisted Events, First Come First Serve, Curated Event)

If an event is full, have an optional waitlist which the host can use to let in future guests if they would like.

RSVPed to series, got all RSVPs except for *last* event

I RSVPed to 'Bird by Bird' Convo Series successfully (link: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1H778fMRXEwsdpuCgYIJSDCHs8eI5EPQp)

I received all on my GCal except for the last event, in this case, March 5 (link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NKRiTzrvFgPUnPXWznOTloiWpKUrQBn6/view?usp=drive_link)

@help

there are quite a few places in the codebase that I have left a @help in comments with a brief description of what I was trying to achieve but embarrassingly failed 🥺. Would love for someone to pitch in their ideas of how that part could be implemented better or refactored!
and there might be some places that feeeeel dumb but do not have a @help on it. Well, i'm just dumb there, so feel free to create a PR to fix that too!

add an option to propose 30 min events (fraction events)

fractional events should be allowed --> we should do endtimes

Ask for email, not for cal invite

"Enter email if you'd like to receive a Google calendar invite."

rsvp page: if owner is viewing, put all events in an accordion

• seats left
• Total number of RSVPs (y-scroll)
