1.4 Planning

Summary

During November and December 2020, the current group of DPS909 and OSD600 students are joining Telescope. I want to get a bunch of issues filed for things they can work on, and to do that we should pick some areas of work we want done.

Ideas

• Fix bugs
• Migrate frontend to next.js and TS
• Migrate user and feed storage out of Redis to a Cloud DB
• Migrate away from Wiki Feed List
• Migrate search authors from GraphQL to REST
• Prototype Adding more User “Feed” types
  • GitHub activity and contributions (PRs)
  • Twitch Streams
  • YouTube Live
• Installable Progressive Web App (PWA) on mobile
• Admin dashboard(s)
  • Analytics
  • Errors
  • Statistics
• Improve UX for adding feeds (e.g., automatic RSS feed discovery from blog URL)
• Improve performance
• Improve accessibility
• Improve developer experience
• Improve tests
• Improve docs
• Simplify backend code
• Improve code structure
• Split backend to two different sources
