Erik

Yesterday:

Yesterday:

  • more work on replies

Today:

Blockers:

  • it is possible to work around the tickets above in the client, but that adds additional complexity and API calls, so it would be best to resolve #4047
  • lack of clarity on how QTimers work here (https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/227#issuecomment-455166762) means that we might duplicated API calls that time out but still complete anyway. The timeouts should probably be handled in the SDK itself via configuring the client at init time. I think this is actually a blocker for replies because it makes it hard to tell if a reply actually made it to the server or not. With the other Star/Unstar and Delete Source actions we have impletement, things happening repeatedly or out of order isn't as much of a concern.

Yesterday: Upgrade discourse and slapped in a referrer-policy header change

Today: Weblate pressing forward. A release was supposed to come out yesterday or today. I'm not going to wait for that any longer and instead keep pressing forward and creating documentation for next week.

Blockers: None

Nina

Yesterday: • Reviwed latest VisDe stuff & discussed other UX Workstation things in weekly UX mtng. Notes here: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-ux/wiki/UX-meeting-20190117 • Began extending VisDe stuff that feels static (Source list typography, styling of right pane), into Sketch library items • Chatted w/ Erik to gain further clarity around online/offline and connectivity logjam things

Today: • Away from desk until ~1pm, but available intermittently via Slack mobile. I appreciate my input will be deeply valued and desperately sought in the Xenial upgrades... • Afternoon to spend learning about more advanced/dependable prototyping tool, Framer, for developing animation-y things. Will timebox to 4hrs. • Will poke around at VisDe following yesterday's critique feedback seeking further lightening of UI graffix (which I also desire) • Will also review groovy Workstation Failure scenarios doc Erik drafted

Blockers: Nope!
