Early May 2016

• logged-in user: add ability to select specific snapshots to display in collections

---

• main page design
  • simplify -- show bg-app more prominently
  • app listing
  • list top n apps, with more... list by name, show category only on lower level
    • sequences of thumbnail images, improve directive to always load integral multiple of #-per-row
    • image plerper (add anim)
  • homogenize imagesets, add 1 largest per app

completeness: 4/5

---

• verify vectorparams working on update and save

  • color to number
  • compare to older

• if no seed, request to app-ordered fails (3D maze)

completeness: 9/10

---

• seedify bg-app
  • keep b&w
  • operator overloading
    • solution 1: compile at runtime
    • [x not good] solution 2 (better for now?): convert all vec operations to sylvester
    • solution 3: easiest: django templates with real javascript instead of eval()
    • solution 4 [CHOSEN]: use directive for all canvases!

completeness: 5/5

---

• lazy loading

completeness: 0/5

---

• main instance page

  • mobile -> seed editor as popup only
  • work in reactive sizing into userapps themselves?

• category only if enabled

• popularity indeces

• ordering

• popularity

Early April 2016

  • user control
  • function

other

• redesign main layout and flow (simplified)
  • seed editor, bottombar bugs
  • change seed editor into seeddisplay and mdDialog
• multiple canvas / paper issue
  • make one directive for both canvases (did iframe instead)
  • snapshots
• rework instance creation
• remove multi-user elements (equivalent to user-not-logged-in)
• check security in API
• add extra panel for featured mathematical expression display
• add algebraeic symmetry subgroups app
• fractal trees, add color2 on last iteration for creation of flowers as well as trees

other

• enforce only one instance per seed vector
• make seed editor movable / transparent / collapsable
  • well, smaller anyway
• add fork-app feature
  • track parent-app hierarchy
• add hook for music viz through user-app editor

Late March 2016

Front-end

• codemirror does not show text until clicked
• in instance display: upon change seed values, does not clear canvas fully before redraw
  • 2-dim maze only?

General

• mathjax not redrawing on some navigation

Symbolic math

• "sin(x)cos(y)" without space does not parse

  • review sympy parser options

• add handlers to ensure canvas clear upon instance destroy

• make music stop upon app destroy

mar 25

• integrate audio analysis, music viz capability
• colorpicker input in seededitor
• repair resaving and re-running of app, (after seed-struct refactoring)
• finish implementing start() and destroy() interface for all apps
  • remove event listeners
  • delete vars?
  • on Three.js, extra canvases must be removed
• eval coffeescript
• modularize functions in apps -- CodeModule
• modularize functions in apps -- SavedFunction
  • make sure it works with paper (outside inclusion has shown to be problematic in past)
• app-editor: on load larger source, need loading spinner on codemirror textareas

Early March

front-end

• re-integrate previous work linking sympy backend to parse (mathematical -> javascript -> latex) expressions

  • slight reconfiguring of seedStructure specs, add "math" datatype

• upon edit seedStructure, append default to existing instances' seeds

• finish implementing "color" datatype in seed editor

specific apps

Maze-2d

• multiple solvers still showing when many different instances are viewed back-to-back

style / templates

• login/account right-end topbar

• top bar

  • transparent/not-transparent anim

• bottom bar covering seed-editor codemirror window

• delete instance

• save-as-new-instance function

• save-as-new-instance button should re-execute app IF seed changed

• automatic screenshot each seed-change

• fix paper.js new-seed redraw bug

• add catch for syntax error in seed structure

• add "loading" indicator on:

  • load instance

• seed editor

  • fix 2-way binding
    • (fixed, but not as cleanly as I would have liked)
      • (should have used component/directive -- perhaps the problem is the fact that the scope for this is within a call to eval())

instance display page

• on reload instance, canvas seems to be getting cleared, but variables from the eval()-ed scope need to be wiped. (Why are elements of the previous instance rendering still showing) [easyfix: reload page -> :(]

• after take snapshot on load page, when navigate back -- bindings do not render in template!

  • this one seems to be a fluke that may have been fixed by correcting something in instance.js ?? [to re-investigate]

• instantiate function

• add apps:

  • fractal trees
  • musicviz
    • assemble playlist

Feb. 11, 2016

• design UI with angular-material, html-component first
• merge back existing angular app plsysApp

Feb. 3, 2016

to research:

• CSRF tokens (or lack of them) in AJAX requests with rest_framework
  • snapshot feature has a successful ajax POST (but obvious security hole to fix later)
    • so why new symbolic_math/latex function returning 403?

to do:

• layout of main apps page
• correct automatic symbol slicing error on symbolic_math latex function
• add special handling for three.js scripts, different snapshot function for WebGL, etc.

seed display / editor

seed display for polynomial landscape

• incorporate latex (compile on server with sympy)
• 3 seeds:
  • display:
    • full function in latex/mathjax
    • projection matrix in latex/mathjax
    • target color (only splotch, no number)
    • (edit icon or cog beneath)
  • editor:
    • small modal window
    • 1 field for each coefficient (use sympy to compute the list of coeffecient combinations

(seed editor edits the ACTUAL seeds from the JSON -- an app may choose to display something on the "fancy screen", meaning it is always present. Everything else, accessible only by cog)

---

ordered tasks: ("before I can do __ , I need to do ___") ::repeat

• investigate sympy [chosen] vs. sage for latex generation
• add server-side hooks for math. processing (symbolic_math module)
• map between js, sympy, and math. function syntax
• latex/mathjax on screen

Feb. 1, 2016

to learn:

• SASS or SCSS
  • [LESS chosen and implemented]

to do on plerp tonight:

• function in 1 var, 1 param
  • add string inputs to seed-editor (most of work tonight on seeds)
• modularize paperscript code-groups (cartesian plane setup, for example) into includable-by-user modules
