Closed m1karii closed 2 years ago

I expanded here on a list I found on discord on things that need to be done before initial release. if I missed something or added something unnecessary please let me know/ add it in comment

do we want to use GH Pages for the website content? That way, managing user/roles is easier, and I would think markdown is good enough for authoring content. I'm not sure if javascript is possible though

nathanaelhoun commented 2 years ago

I think GH Pages is enough for the website content, javascript is possible (raw javascript or with a bundling tool if really needed)

Visual branding of our entire organization should be completed, all the recipe, app, and server repositories have been modified to include our new logo.

Is it possible for releasing just the client earlier for all the people like me, who wanted to use ferdi without any account somewhere? I really liked Ferdi and no 'alternatives' I've found are good enough.

we are in the process of getting the rebranded (but unsigned) installables in place. Just need to find time to fix the GH publishing step. Once that's done, you should be able to download it from GH and use.

The website already uses GH Pages and it already setup. I have also checked the following:

Do you have an ETA for what concerns beta releases? I'm not sure I want to risk using the nightlies...

Maybe @vraravam can tell more about that, but the nightlies have been stable enough for production, most of the community already use them 👍🏽

vraravam commented 2 years ago

Maybe @vraravam can tell more about that,

We are already tracking the items for a beta/GA release in this ticket up above.

@dqos - the next item that we need to get will be the Apple Dev License.

And where are these nighties? README.md points only to https://ferdium.org/download/, which doesn't work.

ftpd commented 2 years ago

Oh, silly me. When I've checked the main github page and seen this, I assumed there is no release, becaue 'normally' it shows something - but now I've just realized it's outsied the standard release, just a beta/nightly.

Sorry for stupid question and thanks for poinint me to it.

alecive commented 2 years ago

Oook, I guess I'll try the nightlies then :-) Thanks you all for the hard work!

I just downloaded the exe file and Avast on Windows is blocking it because of some threat. Do you mind sharing why?

Because binaries are not signed yet. For support please join our Discord. This issue is for TODO tracking.

transferring pre-existing ferdi profile to ferdium (https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app/issues/4)

This could possibly be solved with https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-server/pull/11 if someone was able to provide me help with authenticating and get data from Ferdi API.

vraravam commented 2 years ago

This could possibly be solved with ferdium/ferdium-server#11 if someone was able to provide me help with authenticating and get data from Ferdi API.

But, why do we want to do this automatically? This would bring in a dependency that we cannot control (for eg if Amine decided to turn off the server or also change any API_KEY or something else that potentially breaks this implementation).

I would much rather have documented steps that the individual user can follow to export from Ferdi and then import into Ferdium.

Ok, I see what you mean and I agree that the step forward is to document the export Ferdi + import Ferdium and maybe improve the migration scripts (?)

Yes, i think we are pretty good with the automated migration scripts at this point. We can always test more.

Closing this ticket now that we have released v6.0.0
