Do you have any suggestions for Today?

In case you're not aware, Today is a simple Makerlog app, which is designed to be simple. (https://getmakerlog.com, check it out if you like :D)

Now I'd like to add some more features. Of course it's designed to be simple but there are still plenty of things that can be added without cluttering the UI. For example, if you want you can enable comments and even reply to them, but that isn't necessary. It's still a clean design.

So, any suggestions? Thanks guys!

oh lol. I understood it first so you didn't know what you wanted to do today. 😂

i think it would be easier for everyone if you directly post a link to the app here. not everyone knows your app. for all who are looking for the link:

  • https://getmakerlog.com/products/today-for-makerlog
  • https://today.getmakerlog.com/

Suggestions

  • Have you already implemented mobile notifications? that would be a great feature.

Hahah, I thought the same. I was like "hmmm, getting up, coding maybe, a coffee" :D

@dehenne there's a link in the title, but for some reason Makerlog didn't pick up on that. Hmmmm @sergio ?

Right now there aren't any notifications (not just in-app either), but I'd like adding those.

Sergio, is there a way to accomplish such a thing without polling your server every minute or so?

@jip Yup - it's all through websockets. Notifications on Makerlog are websocket based.

@sergio I haven't done a lot of notification stuff… I'm guessing I can't make this notification thing without getting a server side of my own?

Looking at it a little bit, it appears only some browsers (Chrome 52 at least and Firefox 50 dev.) expose it… That's what I'm reading on Github anyway, IDK about the modern-day stuff.

@jip Yup, makerlog relies exclusively on websockets so it should just work.

-make it 100% mobile-oriented :)

Also achieved this type of bug: https://snag.gy/zJ6qRF.jpg (login -> turn on chrome dev tools mobile mode -> turn off mobile view)

As for the mobile suggestion, it mostly is. There's some settings to make everything smaller if you want :-)

One thing only: Refresh the token so it doesn't expire and I need to re-signin again and again. Ethan has shown how to refresh the tokens here: https://github.com/Booligoosh/makerlog-menubar-cloud-functions/blob/master/src/lambda/refreshMakerlogToken.js

I would, but currently I don’t have a back-end set up for it and I’d rather keep it that way TBH. If it bothers you, you can sign in directly which uses the actual token (not bearer) meaning you won’t get signed out

@jip ah, okay. How exactly would I do it?

I have To try

(I'm on my alt because I need to create notifications for myself) below the "sign in using makerlog" is an anchor for signing in directly. It says not recommended because it gives the app root access, using the same method as the actual Makerlog app does :-)

Would you be able to make the input bar grow vertically based on the input?

Hm, I'm not sure.I'd have to replace the input with a textarea, which I could do, but that'd also resize the buttons… I'll see what I can do!
