Planning 3

[cyphunk]

A list of milestones and todos we can try to work on

Milestones and features

Feature changes:

• [ ] Feature: Host "active blocking" from network feature (able to choose a host and kick it from network)
  • [x] UI design
    • [x] How user turns on/off active blocking for host
    • [ ] How user sees active blocking status is on or off for host in host list
  • [ ] Code
  • [x] @cyphunk make example code
  • [ ] test blocking works on Karmel's side
  • [ ] run blocking code in loop to keep host offline
  • [x] allow stopping blocking loop with button
  • [x] check is it easy or hard to block two or more hosts at the same time
  • [ ] Check the setting page and fix it, fix the background of setting Page.
  • [ ] clear the hostdevices and selections from redux when the user back to the main page
  • [ ] make sure the program is responsive
  • [ ] run the program as a root
  • [x] fix the pacp issue when we run the software without the electron build
• [x] Change to Redux
• [ ] Documentation [#34]
• [ ] root permissions request to user through https://www.npmjs.com/package/sudo-prompt

Small UI changes:

Landing Page:

• [x] When going back to LandingPage from LanPage the previouslly selected network settings should be selected (currently reverting to no selection)
• [x] Fix custom settings:
  • [x] Filter field changed to "Your IP address" (e.g. 192.168.1.22)
  • [x] Network interface (e.g. "wlan0")
  • [x] Gateway (not used now but will be used with blocking feature eventually)
• [x] audio on intro page feels uncommon for apps, perhaps consider if we remove it Lan Page:
• [x] Alignment of lan items should be strait or left align (see example)
• [x] the size of the button top bar and the buttons could be possibly much smaller (maybe 1/3 the current size?)?
• [x] the button top bar should stay on top even when scrolling lan page host list (and also stay on top when scrolling happens in other pages as well)

Info Page:

• [x] Change test values to the actual values (can ignore for the time being: filter)

About Page:

• [x] spacing between rows/items can be much smaller. Idealy user should not need to scroll to see all data.
• [x] font for title (Monster Analyzer) can be in the same font style as the rest of the application
• [x] The application icon could be smaller?

Future?

• [ ] Feature: Network log for host
  • [ ] UI design
    • [x] Can click on host form Lan Page to see a detailed host page
    • [x] Host page shows:
    • [x] IP address,
    • [x] Mac address,
    • [ ] "active blocking" feature status, option to start or stop "active blocking
    • [ ] checkbox'es to select type of network traffic to show: http, https, dns, mail, other
    • [ ] A list of packet information
  • [ ] Code
  • [ ] @cyphunk make example package data object and code
• [ ] Figure out why there are no host names
  • [ ] arp -a is what local-devices uses. Can we get the names through some other way? (node npm package to find host names?)
  • [ ] @karmelyoei test Debookee LanScan to see if gets the names from your network
  • [ ] @cyphunk check if mdns provides better name resolution. Make some simple tests we can do on Karmels network
