I've to check, not sure there isn't a quirk there aka not sure if photos and item are still refreshed after having being edited

ad details -> edit in wizard -> back to ad details

How is the data stored? Is backend using an external service like firebase or maybe its not open source yet?

I think it would be cool to make the toolbar on item details ("who", "home", "neighborhood", "chat") sticky when the user scroll. At least it deserve a try on of these days

If the user didn't had advertised a flatshare or flat, the action sheet which leads to the limitation of who could view the user's ad should not be available because this feature could only be use if an ad exist which is here not the case

From the Apple human interface guidelines:

A dark status bar works well above light-colored content and a light status bar works well above dark-colored content.

https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/bars/status-bars/

Because of the Fluster colors, a light/white statusbar should look better then the actual black one.

I noticed that the login page app screenshots are not that good drained (I used my iPad Pro 10.5). They should be replaced with higher resolution images or screenshots from the tablet version of the app.

See artists' name in the following screenshot:

Not every users seems to:

• Be flexible regarding viewing dates
• Want to fully take advantages of the fact that Fluster handle the all viewing schedule calendar aka rather like to chit-chat to set a date

Therefore would be a good improvement to make the viewings request modal (on the browse side) more flexible

Note: If the advertiser has fixed the viewing schedule, it should not be possible to be flexible outside the timeframes he/she defined

Would only happens if user could go back (in the app itself, in the navbar, there isn't a back button to go back to that particular first-choice page)

It looks like that it isn't clear for all users that once a viewing date is set while using the chat, it's possible to tells Fluster that the date is effectively that particular one which will have for effect to change the status of the viewing to "accepted" and will offer the user the ability to automatically export the date to his/her local calendar

The feature is in the popover menu, maybe not enough obvious

Follow-up #30

Next Ionic v4 version, probably beta.13 I guess, will offer a proper solution to subscribe to the hardware back button with Observable

Code is ready, just uncomment/remove what's needed, search:

// TODO: .... for Ionic v4-beta.13

If the design allows it, add the targeted-users component to the admin-limitation page

https://github.com/fluster/fluster-app/tree/master/src/app/components/advertise/new-ad/targeted-users

In v5 I've modified a bit the button (their are now rounded), therefore would be good to, as some point, to reflect these changes in the

• App Store screenshots: iPhone and iPad
• Google Play screenshots
• Login slides ("in the app itself")
• Website
• Website share/social "flyers/cards"

Don't forget: Screenshots in English, French, German and Italian!

While looking for candidates, where advertisers could send "superstars", it should be possible to change the viewing limitation of the ad more easily, that would allow users to enhance their reach more easily if they would not receive enough requests

Per default, the calendar view didn't show the time information after next week

This should be improved, when calendar display/view is used, these time information should be displayed too

The Android hardware back button works fine except with particular pages where a navigation based on sliders is implemented

Furthermore, the Android hardware back button works fine to close modal but will always dismiss modal with a null value, therefore for almost all modals, it is not possible to handle a multiple modal choice "new value / current value / none", using the hardware back button will always reset the value to null

The related Ionic feature request is the following: ionic-team/ionic-framework#15820

Update: In this issue only the Wizard part was implemented with a workaround, in order to be able to release/publish Fluster v5 on Android too (the problem regarding modals dismiss with null value with the hardware back button acceptable for a while). The final solution should be implemented in #30

It looks like the very first time the camera is use on Android, after a brand new fresh install, the promise this.file.writeFile will not be resolved, it hangs

The issue to track is the following: danielsogl/awesome-cordova-plugins#2067

Workaround

For a proper solution, a fix would be needed in cordova-file-plugin. In the meantime the fix/workaround found by @wfairclough described in danielsogl/awesome-cordova-plugins#2067 solves the issue

Other

There was also a problem because I was still referencing manually cordova.js in index.html in v4 which actually should not be done anymore ionic-team/ionic-framework#15143

Follow ionic-team/ionic-framework#15908

Some styles and attributes need to be added specially for Firefox

If the advertiser would browse the details of his/her flatshare/flat and would afterwards edit his/her profile and comeback, his/her changes data would not be reflected yet in the view, it would need an extra refresh which is not yet implemented

Why adding a photo? The keywords "of your flatshare" or "of your flat" are missing

@joshuamorony wrote a tutorial where he implemented a parallax effect https://www.joshmorony.com/creating-a-custom-scroll-vanish-directive-with-ionic-web-components/

maybe the way he solved the transition is a bit more effective than https://github.com/fluster/fluster-app/tree/master/src/app/directives/core/navbar which would have for effect to solve the fact that the navbar parallax effect is a bit quirky on Android?

I should give a try

Follow up of #6

Remove step limitation and add it as an extra feature

Most of the users are flexible and having a short wizard is an asset

The wording of the menu isn't that UX friendly, improves it with clearer meaning

For a weird reason, only on iOS, the results of the search location only in the selection of the interests aren't rendered. Everything works find it's just the slider didn't picked correctly the height

Follow-up of #25 and #6

The idea is to make it more smooth by displaying back action and not always the hamburger menu

When use type his/her msg, would be cool the make the textarea of the chat expand till three lines instead of three

Would be also cool to reset the size on blur if there isn't any message anymore in the field

Right now the cronjob which push new items only run once a day
It would be maybe cooler to run it more often, like at least of couple of time a day/evening?

No idea why, but time to time, the first time I had an item to my bookmark it takes more time than all other time I'll call the same action

P.S.: This only happens in v5-beta

The terms and conditions link on the login page should be highlighted so the user knows the text links to the document.

The idea is too add a ripple-effect to the viewings picker

To do so, following improvement would be needed first, in order to trigger the effect only when a dates is selected and not when the calendar is scroller: ionic-team/ionic-framework#15752

Sounds like a gimmick but haptic feedback improves the user experience (imao). For example toggeling the notifications from on to off. I also like haptic feedback when something goes wrong for example entering an false password.

Google Play removed the app from store for "Violation of Device and Network Abuse policy" which seems often linked with videos...which is not used in Fluster :(

I reached out the policy support team, wait & see

If I say that my room or flat are x meters wide, when I edit my ad again, these information will not be filled per default

Instead of the "who" pane seems than now the "what" detail pane is displayed

I recommend using date-fns over moment not only because of the performance improvements but the reduced build sizes.

Here is a shorty article about moment vs date-fns: https://medium.com/@k2u4yt/momentjs-vs-date-fns-6bddc7bfa21e?source=linkShare-1cae5159e294-1536834649

The parallax effect on navbar is a bit glitchy when scrolling fast

I tried in a dummy project, it was ok

The root of the quirk might be the fact that the first rendered element of that particular page is a slide?

Workaround: Disable parallax effect in the meantime

Recently I modified the navigation in order to redirect user who would change side, from "browse" to "advertisement", directly to a new ad (= wizard)

It seems that user landing in that situation don't go back to the "browse" side which actually they might be looking for

Therefore, revert this and only do a simple navigation

ion-datetime doesn't delivers anymore an object containing day/month/year but rather delivers now yyyy-MM-dd, probably changed in one of the previous Ionic beta version

Follow-up of #28

What to do:

• Once the Ionic feature request (ionic-team/ionic-framework#15820) solved, adapt the wizard code according the solution

• Implement a better support of the hardware back button for the different modals where result value should not be null

Linked with the issue ionic-team/ionic-framework#15806

=> Don't use event ionViewDidEnter for modals anymore

1. Handle PWA browser refresh
2. Improve a bit the texts

Linked with #2

The idea is to keep track (in app storage) of the availabilities filled by the user and to pre-fill the next viewings requests with these

For example:

• User send a first viewings request to flatshare A for the 2nd and 3rd January at 7pm
• When user want to send a viewings request for another flatshare B, if these dates are also available and in the future, pre-fill them

This will helps users saves time

It's already possible in the details but we could add it straight from the chat too

Look like per default Ionic introduce the fact that double clicking on a slide of a slider performs a zoom effect

We don't want such an effect

Was:

 $fluster-text-big: 2rem;

Will be:

$fluster-text-big: 1.8rem;

The texts will be a bit smaller but the overall layout feels less crowded doing so

Some promises returns where not correctly handled. This hasn't side effects

This problem result in following error in the stack trace:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: ASSERT: _before() should be called while animating

Open idea: I maybe would like to spare some steps in the wizard when people advertise their rooms to let

Some ideas are:

• Spare the step "About the all flat" when publishing a flat share, maybe make the step somehow optional

• Remove the "Viewings calendar" from the wizard and put after it. Like on the last screen, where people see "congrats your ad is online" add a button "define your planing now" or something like this

Note: This isn't a must, statistics are good, most of the people using the wizard goes to the end, but still, might be nice

It also looks like that sometimes some users who have viewings doesn't find straight away the address of the place to visit

Maybe in the detail instead of having it "just" in the neighborhood tab, it should be added to the item summary too
