Progress Report
These last three months, Rushali smashed every task set out from the previous proposal: pushing Vector's UI significantly further in progress, kickstarting our Android App, handling the UI polish and feature-requests submitted for PIVCards, and handling touch-ups for Labs Home, Labs Oracle and other Labs services where immediate attention was needed.
With her ability to handle tasks well enough, and quickly switch platforms to tend to bugs and feature requests, Rushali is going to be taking on a Lead Role for Labs Frontend Development, directing a wider scope of our frontend architecture, and handling the vast majority of Labs Frontend tasks.
With Labs previously having a shortage in Labs frontend 'manpower', her additional strength to the team is much appreciated.
PIVCards Polish - Complete!
Rushali spent a few weeks polishing up the new PIVCards Storefront; adding various improvements to User Preferences and Settings, fixing UI bugs based on certain browser resolutions, and fixing MOTD + modal prompt problems.
As of right now, all major feature requests and bug reports have been handled, making the PIVCards TODO list completely empty at this period of time!
Vector Android - Complete!
Rushali spent a few weeks kickstarting the Vector Android compiling process; with the functionality being extended and polished by JSKitty, the app is now fully functional, and being developed in parallel to Vector Desktop, with almost complete feature parity from the get-go.
Vector Android is available privately until public, reproduceable Android builds have been automated, visit the Vector Discord for additional info!
Vector Voice AI - Complete!
Rushali spent around a month creating, polishing and finishing the Vector Voice AI UI, with ultra-polished settings and configurable options for anyone to easily access our private, local Transcription AI directly in-app, in a single click.
Vector Custom Emojis - In Progress!
Rushali spent a month massively redesigning Vector's emoji UI towards a new Discord-inspired design mocked up by YuurinBee, combined, the two have built a system that combines elements of both Discord and Telegram's emoji systems, adds the best parts of them, and discards the fluff.
This redesign comes as part of our quest to eventually "feature-parity" with Discord and Telegram, with the added benefit of additional freedom: Vector Packs are far less restrictive than Discord, which gates almost everything behind Nitro, and if not, a per-server basis, Vector removes these limitations, grants more creative freedom to both artists and users, and provides a super fun experience designed to hook in the mainstream audience.
As of right now, the redesign is partial (based currently on only Default Emojis - Twemoji), with Custom Packs awaiting a backend implementation by JSKitty, once finished, the frontend redesign will continue, adding the ability to create Custom Packs (similar to Discord Servers, but available globally).
Proposal Plans
These plans are ordered by priority, with the top-most items receiving the most attention and lower-most being "spare-time" ventures.
Plans may also change or expand during the proposal's timeframe, all work in which will be documented by PIVX Labs and reported on accordingly.
Labs Pulse
Rushali will be working alongside JSKitty to quickly build "Labs Pulse", a simple, well-designed Infrastructure Monitor system viewable by the public, and usable by the PIVX Labs team to notify of any infrastructure issues, as an example:
- Response time testing (how quickly are our services responding? if at all?).
- Uptime History (a visual representation of the uptime of each service - displaying short black-outs or longer downtimes if they happen).
- Community Service Monitoring (in addition to tracking Labs Infra - Labs Pulse will also track external services, like community explorers, zkbitcoin.com, PIVX Cloud, etc).
Labs Pulse is a rather short, one-and-done project, targetted to be completed in less than only two weeks, with substantial long-term benefit to the PIVX team and the PIVX community.
Vector Context Menus + In-line Settings
Rushali will be working on implementing custom Context Menus and inline Settings/Options for Vector, allowing us to expand our "shortcut" features, like the ability to enable "Self-Destructing Chats" in a chatroom via a small "Hamburger Menu" in the top-right of each chat, or the ability to right-click a chat to mute it, etc.
These will open up the ability to add new features and options much faster; like right-clicking messages for the option to Edit, React, Forward, Copy, and more.
Vector Widescreen Mode
Rushali will be working on an experimental design for "Vector Widescreen", when the app is sufficiently widened or in fullscreen, the UI will convert to a "panel-like" design, similar to Discord, with the ability to see the user list of a group on the right-hand side, and the ability to see your chat list on the left-hand side, with messages being the central panel.
This further aligns Vector's UI and functionality with Discord, improves our design on Desktop, and adds a significant upgrade in anticipation of Group Chats - with accessible user-lists of your groups.
Designs for this are yet to be mocked, but will raise in priority as the above tasks are completed.
Vector Custom Emojis: Stage 2
By this point, Vector should be at the stage of finishing our Custom Emoji Packs upload system; this means the UI and ability to Upload, Edit, Delete custom Emoji Packs, share them, download them, organise them, all within a simple, small, manageable interface.
Labs Platform Delegation Handling
Once the important Vector tasks are handled: Rushali will be back to handling delegatory work in the Quadruple+ of Labs Projects, balancing frontend work between BreadJS and JSKitty, these tasks are slightly too far out to plan ahead of time, and thus will be assigned once a more realistic timeframe can be estimated.
