Blockers: None
Yesterday: Fixed a bunch of stuff to do with the Login UI (so the tool bar at the top reflects state). Added more changes for UI "plumbing". Fixed the display of time to say things like "2 minutes ago", "yesterday" etc... Meetings with Erik,Nina,Jen about UI/UX-y things (really useful, thanks!). Closed off the PR related to login and fixed the CI related problems associated with it due to our using Qt. Thanks to Jen for assistance with that.
Today: This was a half-day for me. I spent my time "spiking" a solution for the conversation view (issue #32). I posted a screenie of work done so far (it sorta works) in the Slack channel and will spend Monday polishing, ensuring it's all tested and that I use the mock data kindly provided by Nina. I also want to add more features to the conversation bubbles too (e.g. metadata on the message etc...) as per Nina's UX work.
Blockers: None.
Yesterday: Testing went well overall; got some good feedback. Posted updates to wiki pages. Got dummy content (example messages) to Nicholas, simplified wireframe for implementation
Today: Extending prototypes to include more context, unique content specific to what investigative journalists are likely to see; updating participant script.
Blockers: None
- Single user vs multi user
Decision to support usage in kiosk (multi-user) mode until we introduce features that require per-user security domains.
- Tor meeting updates
Tor has significant funding to enable upload of video by Chinese users via Tor. They discussed having submission platform that would automatically strip metadata from videos -- there might be overlap with workstation. There may be a need for network-level changes. Key work is to fix bridge censorship issue. Submission platform unclear - discussion about working with Open Archive folks.
For .onion service development, service naming has come up as one of most important features to develop. One of biggest pain points are scary looking addresses. Suggestions ranged from Tor blockchain :| to DNS-ish services for .onions, HTTPSE custom rulesets. 3-6 month experimentation period where projects that are interested can work with Tor community to test these ideas.
