Access graphs per URL #31

Closed tombu closed 12 years ago

tombu commented 12 years ago

In order to see the commit graph of a certain repository As a visitor I can access the graph through a URL

stravid commented 12 years ago

Should the graph be an image?

stravid commented 12 years ago

And how do we approach the unique URL? I guess it should be an hash, but we have to figure out how to program something like this.

tombu commented 12 years ago

An image seems to be the nicest way for the client, doesn´t it? Although for us this means generating the images in the backend.

other formats:

html: like wie use on our pages OR a canvas
json: I have no idea how that should work
?

Further details about the unique URL should be discussed. A hash is what I thought of, too.

Does this look like what we need? https://github.com/paulca/shortcode-url Maybe search for other solutions to have a comparison :-)

I thought about this: A repository (does it have a name btw.?) has a shortcode. When calling hulkort.com/graphs/abc123 it will generate the graph for repository abc123. Is there a way to support different types of graphs? Do we want this? How can we accomplish this?

A lot to discuss again. I prefer another place for doing this, e.g. campfire, voice!

stravid commented 12 years ago

Things got a lot easier! Talked with Justin, a public HTML page is good! So no need for image rendering / s3 :-) Although I'm also a little sad haha

:( me, too. Maybe a prospective feature ;)
