Long-term App Development #3

Open cw00dw0rd opened 6 years ago

cw00dw0rd commented 6 years ago

Currently when trying to create app via Meteors built in Cordova options it seems some packages are not supported. We still may be able to use this option but due to time the current plan is using a webView.

Please use this GitHub Issue as a place to record any options or thoughts you may have for how to approach this.

Features List:

  1. Full site access via an app
  2. Notifications in the app or at least to the device
  3. Solution that allows for quick app updates for when changes are made to the site.
  4. Anything else you can think of

Long-term Mobile App Dev

badpointer commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to use React Native for a long term app?

vermiculite commented 5 years ago

I also think react native would be a good choice. With react-native-meteor we can hook into the current subscriptions and methods used. It is a solution I have been using for the last couple of years successfully.

AndyatFocallocal commented 2 years ago

MeteorJS has relaunched and we're working through updating the packages. Hopefully this alongside React Native will solve these long-term issues.

@cw00dw0rd @badpointer @vermiculite I hope you are all doing well.

Sorry for the long disappearance. We had a serious database issue which stalled everything for a long time and eventually required the head tech at MongoDB to fix (as it came from their auto-migration tool). With that and Covid i took the occasion to move out of my van and built a more stable base before pushing for the database solution, getting everything up and running again with the help of some excellent team mates, and pushing for launch.

I notice that the push notifications on the app no-longer work. Is that likely to be due to an android permissions update, and any ideas how we can fix it?

Here's some info about the hack week i'm hosting in Amsterdam to launch the app and platform, starting with a Community Climate Action version, then the Homelessness one, and finally our Meta platform where we advertise for other commuities to suggest and build projects based on our codebase.

You are all very much invited to the hack week if you'd like to join in!

cw00dw0rd commented 2 years ago

Hi @AndyatFocallocal glad to see things are moving forward and hope that you are doing well.

I would be happy to dive back into this sometime and see if I can help. I have no doubt the app experience could be much better. I haven't been using react as much lately(VueJS) so it would take a little brushing up but I am happy to contribute when possible after work.

AndyatFocallocal commented 2 years ago

@cw00dw0rd It would be fabulous to have you back in the team Chris!

The current one is working very well still just the push notifications stopped working recently, i think due to an Android update.

Other tasks are:

vermiculite commented 2 years ago

@AndyatFocallocal I am having issues signing up at publichapinessmovement.com I don't get sent any emails. Do you know if there are any issues? It would be great to contribute again.

AndyatFocallocal commented 2 years ago

That is awesome!! ..and also a minor problem. Check your spam folder and i'll check if the email went out from the admin section. There is a known issue but it should still be sent and occasionally flagged and over the coming week i'm planning to work through setting up the email from scratch as i worked on it last week but have not been able to locate the exact issue.

Welcome back @vermiculite

AndyatFocallocal commented 2 years ago

Looks like it has been to me

AndyatFocallocal commented 2 years ago

I'll click the confirm link myself and you'll be able to login. I suggest clicking 'Global' to explore and then 'Latest' to get an idea what's going on. Please let me know if the email was in the spam folder as that information will be helpful :)

vermiculite commented 2 years ago

Hi Andy, yes it was in spam I feel silly for not thinking of that. Anyway the main thing I am in now. Thanks!

AndyatFocallocal commented 2 years ago

@vermiculite which skills would you most like to contribute? I'll review the task list in that department as the platform was down for a while and some might be outdated now.

Would you and @cw00dw0rd like to jump into a call sometime? Or prefer to just dive into coding?

cw00dw0rd commented 2 years ago

I'm happy to join a call sometime, I am EST time and would need to join either before or after work or on the weekend. Otherwise, I am planning on at least reviewing the code to get familiar with it again.

vermiculite commented 2 years ago

OK lets coordinate, I am not sure what EST is but I will figure it out. I am C.E.T. so currently GMT +1 maybe weekend is best for me.

I've got my family visiting this week, meeting my wife in person for the 1st time due to Covid. How about next Tuesday? Any time I can be flexible for, if that day works what times are you available?

cw00dw0rd commented 2 years ago

@vermiculite EST is GMT-5

@AndyatFocallocal Glad to hear it! I can do Tuesday but it would have to be between 5-7PM EST or we can try for next weekend, if that works better.

AndyatFocallocal commented 2 years ago

That's 9pm - 11pm GMT. I can do that. @vermiculite does that work for you?

I'll invite the current active devs to join in too, although let's go ahead anyway. It can be tough to get a time that suits that many people in that many time zones 😅🙂
