Civilpedia Bug Tracker

This is a list of active, and solved, or wontfix issues for Civilpedia. Development help is welcome! Please reach out to @joule if interested.   Feedback & Improvements

• Use SMS not email, with active hours

Todo:

• Tag suggestions are not updating correctly
• Search sometimes omits obvious results
• Web Push API is a terrible notifications standard, deprecate and use SMS instead.
• Write civilpedia getting started and help guide.
• Upvote button for comments.
• Generate a QR code for pages and posts.
• Edit collisions are not detected on pages --this could lead to corruption. Maybe we should use git to track changes and cache the result using mariadb instead of live-editing mariadb? This could get hairy...
• Syntax is not highlighted in editor, even though I followed quill’s docs specifically.
• Copying text copies background color too
• When making a new section sometimes everything in the following paragraph gets made boldface (wtf?)
• Timestamps are shown as server time, not localtime.
• Permissions for making secret content.
• Configurable theme color?

Ideas and Wishlist:

• Embedded pages / internal links. Pinterest's way of doing it looks pretty good.
• Continuous auto-save.
• Recompile highlight.js to support arduino code.

Tech Debt:

• Serve images compressed so they take up less bandwidth.
• Script to set up database automagically.
• Make variable names more standardized and sensible.
• Script to set file system read/write permissions.
• A way to change all instances of a user name, and to safely delete users.
• You cannot log out of a browser without logging out of every device.
