Note

Please note that its possible this is outdated, as its original version was published by @'Katrina Uychaco' on Jun 14, 2017.

Looking Back

• Beta launch went very well
• Relatively few problems
• Performance work @smashwilson and @kuychaco did is ✨
• GPG/credential helper work that @smashwilson shipped was solid
• Feeling good about shipping to stable

This Month

• Ensure room to triage and fix issues that may arise after shipping to stable
• File change notification service @smashwilson
• GitHub integration @BinaryMuse @kuychaco
  • Create new PR
  • Fill out existing functionality (timeline item types, new fields, etc.)
  • Add mechanism for manual/auto refreshing
  • Continue to investigate possibility of real-time updates
• Git integration @kuychaco
  • Add "last commit(s)" view under commit box
  • Investigate removing amend checkbox in favor of more robust HEAD management

Other Topics Discussed

• Web Workers
  • Wait to see if issues arise with current implementation
• Better remote/branch management
  • Existing UI mocks are relatively old and pre-docks
  • Want to ensure what we ship is close to what we'll want long term to ensure UI/UX stability over time
  • Resume conversation around design and pick this up in coming months
• core:undo support
  • Undo support is a misnomer in a system where there's not a linear set of edits
  • Want to design a system where any action is recoverable (different from undoable)
  • Really talking about UI Git porcelain at this point
  • Start deeper conversations now, talk about more at mini-summit
• Git log / graph
  • We could do something simple now very quickly but would it be up to the standards we want?
  • Decided to work on "last commit(s)" view for June, talk about this more at mini-summit
• Stash support
  • Start talking about UI/UX
• Additional GitHub PR work
  • "Checking out" a PR from the GH pane is a great first step toward implementing a full code review flow
