Implement GIF support for attachments #206
Comments
Hey! @andymatuschak . I will like to take up this issue. But while setting up the project I am facing assets missing. Can you help me out with this pls? |
Thanks for taking a look at this, @imrishabh18! Per the Readme:
You can get a copy of the font for local testing purposes at https://www.productiontype.com/family/dr. (Probably I should mention that in the readme—please feel free to submit a PR describing what you have to do to get the app building!) |
Sure, I will make a PR describing the steps for setting it up. But, now that I have successfully set this thing up I don't see the Signup thing in the homescreen. How should I get into this thing? |
That's surprising. What do you see on the home screen? |
Ah, I see. Yes, the app (which hasn't yet been released) currently assumes you've already made an account while reading a mnemonic essay. To make one, visit a site that uses Orbit (https://andymatuschak.org/prompts) and complete a review area. |
Sorry! but I am confused and can't find the thing to sign up in this site https://andymatuschak.org/prompts |
Scroll down until you see a set of embedded spaced repetition prompts, bright red like the image above. Complete the set, and you'll be invited to create an account. |
Hm. Confusing! It looks like the packager isn't executing with the correct context. What happens if you run |
The app does run successfully by following Things which I have noticed:
What do you think is causing this? |
Aha! Sorry to have made you our documentation "guinea pig" here. You'll also need to run a local instance of the Orbit server. From the |
Running the backend server first worked (We are getting there 😁). I tried first with the test-user email and logged in. But that screen just showed that you are all caught up. After that weirdly this blank screen shows up everytime and even in the bundler the user is still the test user. |
Also, If you have some slack channel or something where we can quickly discuss this and set this thing up would be great. |
Ah, right! This is getting awfully baroque, but two options for how to proceed:
We should probably make a command-line script that provisions the test user with some task history. There's an old one in It occurs to me: you may not need to run the app to iterate on this, actually! Running the storybook (i.e. run
This is an utterly reasonable request, but for the moment, we (perhaps quite unreasonably) don't. I've found that doing thoughtful research requires that I avoid "hot" communications channels—they scatter my mind! This probably means I need to find a good way to not be the bottleneck for these kinds of conversations. Or maybe I just need to figure out better strategies for compartmentalizing Slack (though probably this would still mean I just look at it once a day, not much different than what you're getting now!) |
I see, yeah, definitely the thoughtful research needs to be done without these interruptions. I would really like to contribute seriously to this project (I can manage 20 - 25 hours/week to this project), but I having a hard time setting this thing up actually. I tried both the options - but still the screen just showed the blank white screen(like prev shared image) with the currentUID being the [email protected]. I was able to checkout the Storybook thing but as I have never been inside/used the app. I don't know where is the attachment options are there, so that I can implement GIF support as well to it. |
Oh, dear, I'm terribly sorry to have caused so much trouble. This project is clearly not yet friendly for external contributors! I'll certainly understand if you want to bail at any point here. Could you please attach the console logs produced when you encounter the white screen? (And let me know if you're running against your local server or the production one?) |
It looks like this should be fairly straightforward, though note that we have to explicitly add some extra modules on Android: https://reactnative.dev/docs/image
