Commitboards

A place to show off how nerd you are

Install locally

Note that in addition to the regular postgres database you need redis running. Either on the default 127.0.0.1:6379 or on REDIS_URL (which is set if you install redis with heroku addons:create heroku-redis:hobby-dev)

# setup database
[bundle exec] rake db:migrate
# run the one test
[bundle exec] rspec
# start the server
[bundle exec] rails s

Todos

• Divide boards into weeks and top committers within each week
• Create links directly to a commit
• Email (async) when somebody comments on a commit you own
• Email (async) when somebody comments on a commit you have commented on
• Email (async) when somebody mentions you in a comment
• write tests for install scripts (guessing full on integration tests is the only way to test this)
• write tests for posting new commits to a board
• Add summary for boards:
  • number of commits
  • top committers
  • top projects
• should have text/plain header on boards#install response
• add board key/url to post-commit start/end comments to be able to add more commit board urls to one project?

Done

• Publish new commits to boards realtime
• Fix empty boards getting new commits
• names (and commit messages??) with æøå f*#%s up the script with shellescape problems. Maybe # encoding: utf-8 will solve the problem? Need a terminal with US-ASCII encoding
• known bug: sometimes a computer comes back from offline
  • it uploads many commits, where the oldest commits are uploaded last.
  • this causes the auto updating js to poll for last with an id
  • fixed by using id of last commit when polling, looking up the last commit and searching for commits with committed_at after that specific commit
• add automatic updating (check if response sais update. If so, run the install command with curl)
• get github url/add github link to commit
• add some more css animations with better installation instructions
• obey system proxy settings for people on vpn
• show entire command in install input box so people copy the whole thing (right now its a bit too narrow)
• declare ruby version in Gemfile
• force https on heroku
• add commit sha to commit
• resize images with imagemagic/imagesnap (imagemagick for now)
• add committer and project name to commit
• parse timestamp of commit and save as committed_at
• upload commit time as well
• try to upload previous unsuccessful uploads
• delete/clean successful uploads
• in background-capture: Show the actual board url, not the commits
