Roadmap

This roadmap focuses on refactoring & performance.

For features and improvements, see Milestones.

Refactoring (php templates + YUI 2) to VueJS

Of note here, we want to use instanced VueJS components. It's faster since they are pre-compiled, but also should make it possible to switch to the runtime only build of Vue.

Also, Kanji Koohii at this point will never be refactored to a full on SPA. The goal is not to convert 100% of the views to VueJS. The goal is to build the most important UX components from VueJS, while the basic layout can stay on the php side.

• Refactor the Flashcard Review pageto VueJS Refactor the Flashcard as a VueJS component #38
• Refactor SharedStories list to VueJS Refactor Shared Stories list as a Vue JS component #21
• Refactor the Study search auto-complete to VueJS Improve the Study search auto-complete #9

Phasing out YUI 2

• Refactor YUI 2 dependency from AjaxRequest / AjaxPanel / AjaxDialog classes
• Pick a good dialog / modal component to replace YUI 2 dialogs
• Refactor Edit Keyword / Edit Story / Edit Flashcard dialogs

Phase out "Juicer" tool

• Replace Juicer of stylesheets (*.juicy.css) with SASS (scss)

Improve the build system

• upgrade to Webpack 4 for better "chunks" handling
• add ESLint to webpack
• add Prettier (but not enforce it) -- mainly for formatting CSS
• phase out *.juicy.js (Juicer) JS -- use webpack and ES6 modules?
• phase out batch/tools/yuicompressor -- use UglifyJS & PostCSS

Javascript miscellaneous

• find a good assert() system that doesn't get compiled in the production build
• find a good way to remove all console.log / warn / error() from the production build

Docs

• Convert my docs to Gitbook or docute for contributors

Performance

• Create a minimal build of Bootstrap v3 Create a minimal build of Bootstrap v3 #46
• Remove legacy YUI JS bundle from the Landing Page Remove legacy YUI JS bundle from the Landing Page #45
• Remove legacy YUI JS bundle from ALL the pages
• Optimize FontAwesome build with just the required icons Optimize FontAwesome build with just the required icons #44

I have a little suggestion about open sourcing: I have found a thread on reddit, where people can volonteer to contribute to open source project. Every weekend they receive a newsletter with the list of the projects, So if you feel like trying, you could suggest kanji-koohii as a project; some peole should be able to help.

Thank you Erlemar. That is an interesting option I didn't think about.
