TODO

• Finish integration with server (especially refreshing & schedule cautions)

• Teacher schedules

• Dark mode

• Better bug reports

• Fix UX on app update where screen flashes twice

• Fix dashboard layout UX (jumpy)

• Update dependencies

v1 (latest 1.0.2)

The source for version 1.0.2 and history for v1 is in the v1 branch.

Rewrite Roadmap:

Next up:

• Integration with bugsnag for better error reporting, more conservative use of CodePush to prevent uneven versioning between users

• Handle different types of dates (need to manually add in meantime)

  • Test no-overlap on assembly dates
  • Test overlap on assembly dates
  • Test cross sectioned overlap on assembly dates
  • Test finals display on ScheduleCard and Dashboard
    • For last day of finals, start at mod 5 on Dashboard
  • Test early dismissal dates
  • Test late start dates

• Fix bug to handle multiple cross sections per day

• Decode encoded JSON (i.e. \u0026)

• Update dependencies and React/React Native

• Consistent code and linting

  • Refactor components and screens for less file congestion and more reuse
  • Better error handling for server request exceptions
  • Better error reporting for AsyncStorage accesses
  • Consistent actions and action creators
  • Use ESLint

• Unit testing with Jest

  • Login system
  • Dashboard date handling/operations
  • Schedule display of cross-sectioned mods and other irregularities

• Redo refreshing system

• UI Redesign with Native Base

    • Display cross-sectioned warning
  • Schedule
    • Preprocess data in action creators before rendering in Schedule to reduce lag
    • Wait for drawer animation to finish to reduce choppiness
    • Vertical progress bar to signify relative position in day
    • Better approach to showing time tables for mods
    • Display cross-sectioned mods
  • Settings
    • Make manual refresh more prominent and user friendly

whs-app's Issues

React Native does not build PNGs in release with Gradle plugin v3+

See facebook/react-native#16906. Use react.gradle from this fork.

Updates day info before fetching new dates causing errors if dates are not filled out on the backend

Tries to update day info before attempting to silently update dates. This causes the app to go into an endless cycle of erroring when no dates are entered in the backend.
