builds's Issues

Store the GitHub authentication credentials in the keychain

This also means that authentication should automatically sync across devices.

Create a simple marketing website

Surface individual jobs in the UI

Don’t wait for all status updates to complete to update the cache

There's nothing to stop us updating the cached build statuses as the updates complete which should make the UI feel more responsive, espeically on first-run.

Reduce the update frequency if the app is in the background and there are no windows open

See if there’s a way to propagate iCloud Keychain changes

Cache the last state to display on launch

Build statuses may well not change between app launches so it's a nice user experience improvement to cache the last update state and use this on launch while fetching the current state in the background. This also ties in well with work to support background updates (primarily focused on iPhone and iPad).

Show just the repository name by default

Right now, build status tiles use repository full names (e.g., 'inseven/builds' vs 'builds'). This is an unnecessary qualification in most cases. We should make it a user-configurable option (perhaps 'prefer full names') and use the short repository name by default.

It would be nice if the implementation of this could automatically use full names if there are repositories with the same name to help users disambiguate them.

Consider adding a fun top-level build summary window

It would be great to do something like resurrect the maneki neko.

Consider UX improvements

Show a UI affordance for clickable elements

On macOS, annotations are viewable by clicking on the 'text' icon. Right now, there's no UI affordance to show that this is clickable. Ideally it would show a rounded-rect background just as toolbar buttons do.

Show workflow build details in an inspector

This is actually quite important for showing summary information on iOS.

Option to show a warning if builds are too old

I schedule regular builds to ensure my projects can build against the current toolchains. In this scenario it's useful to be able to show a warning if the most recent build is too old.

Refresh the app when entering the foreground

Placeholder view when no workflows have been added

Speed up loading repositories in the add action view

Surface errors when refresh fails

Ask user for confirmation when logging out

Store default branch workflows with a special marker so they automatically update

Support drag-and-drop GitHub URLs to automatically add builds

Use background updates to ensure build status is up-to-date on app launch

Related to / depends on #41.

Delete favorites when logging out

It's not 100% clear this is the right choice, but I think most people would expect the data to be cleared after a manual log out.

Watch for updates

Automatically select the primary branch for a repository

Filter builds by string

Pull-to-refresh on iOS

Support rearranging builds / favorites in the grid view

This probably necessitates to swithing to NSCollectionView and UICollectionView under the hood as this is the only way that you get truly native grid view experiences.

Remove the refresh button

This really shouldn't be necessary.

Use full repository names if they’re ambiguous

Show last update time

Menu item to log in

Remove the macOS progress spinner

This just feels clunky and unnecessary.

Limit the app to just one main window

On further consideration, I'm not sure this is actually a good approach–I can imagine the main window offering a sidebar that allows for filtering by organisation and other useful metrics. Closing as won't fix.
