v3.0.0 Roadmap #1
Description
The current version is v1.0.0, although in reality I'd consider it v0.0.0. This thread will cover the "essentials" that needs to be done before a proper release (i.e. app store) can be made.
On a slightly related note, I'm planning on switching away from MDL entirely. It's a great framework, but it's built with too much reliance on its JS libraries (with a bunch of listeners)
I've decided to redo the entire extension, starting with a new CSS framework. It's most likely going to be Bootstrap 4 (Alpha). Rationale is simple: it's widely used, and its new version is fairly lightweight. It works without JS, and it feels a lot more predictable than MDL.
v2.0.0 is committed. Refactored, and reorganised the entire app. It's now using Bootstrap 4 (Alpha). Components, actions, stores, and constants are further compartmentalised, and cleaned up.
This is the roadmap for the next major release v3.0.0.
Scenarios
- Date specific (default):- "DD/MM/YY" | Time
- Query specific:- "Searching: X" | Time and date (same for stale visits)
- Query, and date specific:- "Searching: X on DD/MM/YY" | Time
Completed
- Pagination (???) / Show X results (e.g. All);
- Search ALL (i.e. not date specific - how to best handle this?).
To be added
A separate webpack config should be created for the development environment. The extension also needs an automatic packager / builder (e.g. gulp).
- Settings page: alter date format;
- Deleting single URL;
- Deleting ALL / selected;
- Undo delete (recycle bin?);
- Sorting (e.g. by date, and alphabetical order)
- Grouping (e.g. by hostname);
- Tagging (i.e. custom search);
- Reset;
- About / metainfo page (e.g. version);
- Show full URL.
Under consideration
- omnibox
- Most visited (by date? should this be on a separate page?) | Could use topSites API;
- Statistics or something fancy... (see above)
- Routing (???);
- Custom calendar element (I don't like the current one);
- Star on bookmarks;
- Autoreload.
Issues
- Retrieving real dates / times (for stale links);
- Fix pagination when "ALL" limit is used;
- Button to refresh stale results (possibly the title);
- Reduce font-size?
Perhaps we should use Immutable.js...
