Go to user/roll autocomplete search box

[iceberg901]

Like the "search for people, places, things" box at the top of Facebook, except for ours won't really do any searching via api requests, it will just look through the roll followings which you already have locally. If people are following a lot of rolls, the Me tab is going to be a pretty crappy place to find something specific you are looking for.

With our existing autocomplete functionality combined with the roll followings data, this should be pretty smooth to implement. although it will take a little work if we want to render something other than text in the autocomplete (like the roll avatar or something).

Not sure where I'd fit it into the UI.

@spinosa @vincentiadevaia @matyus Ideas?

@iceberg901 this (which I'd call filtering) is part of a bigger bit of Search functionality which is on the near and long term roadmap. Filtering is 1 of 2 near-term Search pieces that can be implemented quicker and provide big, unique Shelby value.

But GH isn't the best place for project ideas like this. Still working with @ckurdziel to get the trello process all set, but that's the place where new ideas like this should be tracked in the future.

To answer your specific question: there can only be 1 search box for Shelby, and eventually it will provide this filtering, a genius-like search (hit YT api, provide genius fan out), a way to show the roll most relevant to a given video returned via search, a full-text search results system, etc. So even if v1 is only filtering, it should be designed with that in mind.

Is this something you want to tackle now? If so, start cooking with @vincentiadevaia https://github.com/vincentiadevaia @matyushttps://github.com/matyus and show me what you can do

This is cool functionality for power users who follow a lot of rolls and I think we need it on our roadmap at some point but in terms of what's pressing at the moment, I think we should only implement this when we know that people NEED use it. I'm not sure the average user of Shelby has enough rolls they're following to warrant a feature like this quite yet - would rather have us focused on engagement, retention and growth.

Perhaps @hsztul can validate the numbers on this? (how many rolls the average user is following, etc)

I'd rather us implement this when users are begging for it than pre-emptively build something that only a small subset of our few users need/use on a regular basis.

search has given us a UI for this... could use that instead of auto-complete and give links to go to users' rolls

@iceberg901 if you're still excited about this, it could be pretty quick/cool for you to jam out. If not, please close this

Assigning to myself, but still only at the conceptual stage, no work imminent (ie not this week)

stuff like this no longer tracked in GH
