crush2020's Issues

Ensure browser back/forward works

Some users are going to do this, and it seems to mess up the form state.

Have some rules to mitigate at https://github.com/spacedogXYZ/crush2020/blob/master/src/components/form/form.js#L86, but it only works for back (may need to track locations in popstate listener).

Keep global state?

Currently using component-level state and hooks for the form, and getting weird effects if someone goes back/forward or clicks to internal links and then back to form. Consider Redux

TypeError: undefined is not a function

Sentry Issue: CRUSH2020-2

./src/pages/index.js in c at line 16:24
const IndexPage = () => {
  // check for source param and forward to form
  let source = undefined
  if (exists(window) && window.location.search) {
    let urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search)
    source = urlParams.get('source')
  }

Improve map on mobile

Currently has distinct behaviors for hover/select, which don't translate well to mobile. Also, the aspect ratio of the map works for landscape, but for portrait we should investigate alternatives (list the states alphabetically with their outlines from the SVG?)

After reloading form page, components are outside of their wrappers

Renders correctly when going through the flow as intended, but appears broken on refresh.

If you click "RI" on the map, you get "Massachusetts".

For the map, what are your thoughts on using boxes like:

Move candidate data to server

When we get state-leg candidates in #2, we'll have more than we want to send over the pipe for each user.
Move the data to fauna, and create a Graphql query for it in the Plan component.

Add endorsements

• Future Now Fund (state-leg)
• Indivisible (congress) https://indivisible.org/candidates
• Obama (senate, congress, state-leg) https://medium.com/@BarackObama/first-wave-of-2020-endorsements-43b2b0c667f6
• Let America Vote https://letamericavote.wpengine.com/news/pressreleases/2020/end-citizens-united-and-let-america-vote-endorse-83-state-level-reformers-across-the-country/
• Tech Solidarity (state) https://techsolidarity.org/resources/state_slate.html
• Working Families Party https://workingfamilies.org/our-2020-endorsements/

Tests!

The plan creation is entirely frontend based, and uses a reducer pattern to modify the react state. A decent testing framework would improve our confidence in this code.

Page transitions

Nice transitions between form pages would make it feel more "app-like." Did an experiment with gatsby-transition-link but it seemed slow. Maybe due to a conflict with the navigate rules at https://github.com/spacedogXYZ/crush2020/blob/master/src/components/form/form.js#L82

Race narratives

To give some context about why each race is interesting and winnable. We did this for Crush18, and it was very useful (but a ton of work).

Stuck on the "Pick a competitive state and help win big nationally" page.

I'm on the "Pick a competitive state and help win big nationally" page and have selected a few states.

However, I only get the next "Please select your answers" when I click the next button despite how many states I select.

Reported slow loading

This is a gatsby site hosted on Netlify, but we've received reports of slow loading (up to 85 sec)

We have Sentry performance monitoring installed, but it's not working due to getsentry/sentry-javascript#2935
Checking google analytics shows an average page load time of 2.2 sec, but doesn't report percentiles.

Let users scroll through organizations

We have lots more organizations that might match with a user's location and interests than can be displayed. Right now we pick a random one, but we could also have a simple horizontal scroll instead.

Hide donation recommendations if user selects $0

Or maybe just remove the amount from the link and button

TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

Source url parameter

So we can track partner traffic and conversions. Make sure to send it all the way through to Action Network, so we can segment list later.

Get state-level data

Currently using FEC download for federal candidates. Find a source (hopefully free) for state-level candidates. FollowTheMoney.org has them, but will cost $1000 for the data download. Applied for fee waiver for this open source project.
