We need a delicious design for the front page. Here's what I'm thinking:

• Some sort of logo, happy to role with a skeleton for starters
• Knockout the skeleton with an example of an image generated by the app
  • Possibly have said image change based on the most popular image at the time

Create a standard API that allows this web app to talk to renderers

Allow users to define an endpoint for their custom generator

The production environment can be very simple since this is a client side web-app. It could literally be hosted on S3. CloudFront can be used to sort out the domain too.

On the deployment side of things, all we need is a script to upload everything to S3.

Overall, pretty simple

I'd like to specify my own generator endpoint, so that I can host my own generators

A text field in the "generate new scene" where you can specify your own endpoint will do

Now that the project is called toast-it.io we need to get some stylised bread happening. Both visuals and wording will be important here

It might be useful for generators to have the ability to read metadata. Users would need to add it themselves though

Right now, the UI runs very slow. This is mainly due to the 5000^2 px images that are being loaded and rendered. Once thumbnail support is created for the api, it'll need to be implemented here

I want to upload a file, so that I can see it rendered

Update to new API version v0-2

For starters, a basic prototype is needed.

Criteria

• Basic front page
• Ability to 'generate' an image based on a url; use a placeholder image
  • Perhaps randomise images from google

It'd be useful to be able to tag requests, we can look at searching based on tags later

• Generator list should show image results as thumbnails
• Separate requests without results
• Improve navigation
• Improve design of "New scene" route

Now that scene generation is handled asynchronously, the UI needs to represent that.

• Creating a request
• Viewing request queue
• View finished requests and view the result

I want to be able to see my data as a fractal

• Create a fractal generator

In #6 I noticed even creating a simple fractal took a fair amount of time. We're going to need an API that allows for task style generators.

This API will need to be a service which is central to the skeleton scene project. A database of tasks will need to be maintained, and available to generator services. Generators will need to be able to 'lock' tasks while they're doing them, and return the result when finished. Most probably a reference to a file somewhere.

Security is going to be a big issue too, especially with #5 on the roadmap

Once multiple generators are implemented, users should be able to select which generator they would like to use.
