Idea:

• Integration between Roam & Tonic

• Create stream/streams. Can auto subscribe people to them

• Posting to a stream does 2 things

  • Creates a post on that stream in the UI - so you can look back at it over time

  • Sends an email to everyone subscribed to the stream.

• Additional Features

  • Comments on posts

• Thinking: I want to be able to get a sense for the extent to which time passes between updates, and the frequency of the updates. This will incentivize me/us to keep regular updates coming in to projects and thus to keep projects moving. The first attempt at this is a horizontal scrolling style UI for reading streams, where you can scroll backwards to the left to see the historical posts.

• Add horizontal day scroller to streams index

• 

• Improve display for stream show page

  • 

• Add links (to post and to stream) to the stream post email

  • 

• Bug: Mails not sending because recipient emails function needs to be updated

• Build v1 of streams index frontend

• 

• Tasks Dec 13th

• Styling - remove disc list style if li contains: bold, pre, code, img

• Styling - fix display of pre on website - overflow scroll

• Improve db model for users & stream subscriptions

  • Build new subscriber model

  • Transfer over previous relationships

• Allow sub-streams

  • For example: Tonic - Tonic customer acquisition, Atlas, Greenore, Housebuild

  • Add database and backend structure

• Come up with way to prevent email from sending in certain scenarios

  • Scenarios

    • Small update

    • Send to self to test

    • Don't feel this warrants an email of its own

  • Thinking

    • Have an attribute called Email, which can be set to Self, All, or Digest

    • Self will immediately send to the user who owns the stream.

    • All will immediately send to anyone subscribed to the stream.

    • Digest will send to anyone subscribed to the stream, at the end of the day along with any other streams they're subscribed to.

  • Tasks

    • Add method to infer recipient list based on Email attribute

    • Send to ennis.tony@gmail.com if set to Self

    • Send to subscribers if set to all

    • Hide the email attribute in the output

      • This was the trickiest task today. Involved fun with Nokogiri

      • def cleaned_raw_roam_content 
          begin
            doc = Nokogiri::HTML::DocumentFragment.parse(self.raw_roam_content)
            doc.at('a:contains("Email:")').parent.parent.remove 
            return doc.inner_html
          rescue => exception
            self.raw_roam_content
          end
        end

• Come up with structure for assigning a title

  • What about - if the first node is an h3 - get the content and set that as the title.

  • Set title based on first h3

• Think about/mock up layout for "All Streams" frontend

  • How can we have a Github green grid style panel to incentivise regular posting?

  • 

• Add published_at date to use instead of created_at and updated_at

• For Next Time

  • Allow modifying dates for stream posts

  • Load in some old posts to the VanBuild stream and modify the dates
