When logged in if you're on a content page with a video and open the user menu the video gets removed.

Currently, timestamps (when I remember) get added into the body copy. It'd be great if these could be separated into their own field so that it could be easily integrated with the video player (which supports chapter marking)

Bottom gap shouldn't be there.

Specifically, the LLA5 Preview series lessons should provide a link to the updated version for the LLA5 series. Should add one of the following:

• Ability to specify an updated lesson on outdated lesson
• Ability to specify an outdated lesson on an updated lesson

The latter would probably be more convenient, but a little messier data-wise unless we do a pivot table.

On the outdated lesson display a notice linking to the updated lesson.

Add a dynamic fallback image (something similar to GitHub's dynamic OG image) when a post doesn't contain an image.

I used to have this somewhere... maybe remnants are still in the Studio project?

Right now the series post list is showing read time only. Add the watch time to this as well and make the two discernable with icons.

Available themes should be

• Light
• Dark
• System

Would also probably be good to bring back that old script you had that would minimize the player when you scrolled down.

Streams are being linked to via /lesson, which redirects to the correct /stream. Eliminate the redirect by fixing the link to go straight to /stream

After loading, it seems like the hamburger menu is auto closing itself on the first tap when on mobile.

Works fine after the first tap.

When a contributor creates either a future dated post or a draft post they don't have permission to view the post to preview it. Looks like it might be restricted to admins.

Need to add an addition to also allow post authors to preview.

Though it works for short-term scheduled publishes the current method to clear the Redis cache when a publish date comes around isn't reliable enough to consistently work. Maybe set up a scheduled job instead.

This will be particularly handy when referencing points in configuration-based files. For example, editing the webpack.config.js file

For Adocasts+ members, I'd like to add the option to download the lesson's video. I'm not sure whether this can be supported for pre-existing YouTube videos, but it should be supported for Bunny Stream videos.

The comment response needs support for dark mode, which currently displays a light theme.

The publishedAt time ago computed property is cached so it remains whatever the cached value was.

All series are showing 3 hours for the total duration. This needs to be updated to the aggregated sum of time for all series lessons.

We need to utilize caching where possible. Right now our Edge views and components expect Lucid model-based data. This is great but causes an issue when we go to use cached data since this is serialized.

Let's switch our Edge views and components to expect serialized data, where it makes sense so that we can easily use cached data.

Add the name of the lesson's module behind the lesson number, separated by a / divider.

Let's add a schedule section that'll allow me to plan out upcoming lessons. Let's use actual post records for these plans so that we can incrementally work on the post itself through the schedule as well.

Should allow:

• Working Title
• Short Description
• Long Description
• Target Release Date
• Notes
• Requested By line (so that we can follow up with the individual to inform them)
• Users to subscribe, to get an email when the release date is both confirmed (by me) and the post is released.

Didn't realize this until viewed in dark mode, but on Safari, the series icons have a backdrop on them.

I feel like the current layout is too blog layout focused in that it focuses too much on individual lessons and not enough on series.

Do some research on similar series/course-based sites to see if you can find a better way to preset content.

I'd also love to incorporate Unpoly so the site feels more like a SPA and so users can keep a youtube video player as they traverse to other lessons.

I imagine this is something we can add to the code blocks using node-html-parser.

Would like to use the icon-only example from here (swapping in our coloring) https://devdojo.com/pines/docs/copy-to-clipboard

When an authenticated user visits their own profile, there should be a link on the profile that'll take them to their profile edit form.

For example, if I (tomgobich) am authenticated and on my profile at (/@tomgobich) there should be an "Edit Your Profile" button somewhere that links to /settings/profile

I'd like to add functionality that'll allow users to see IP addresses and times at which they've logged in. With this, I'd also like to add the ability to logout of any one session or all sessions.

The progression percentage will use readPercent or watchPercent, whichever is greater. Note, readPercent is no longer captured, and is a legacy metric.

I think I'm using Math.floor() on these percentages and it's rounding down to 0%.

If the progression progress is truly 0, then it

• Shouldn't be displayed in their progression (home page & progression page)
• Shouldn't show the progression bar

Otherwise, if they do have any progress at all (watchSeconds) maybe we round up to 1% in this specific use-case.

Need to exclude the transcript on the RSS feed. Also, let's hide it when a lesson is "coming soon"

Mobile navigation lesson request item also needs its icon updated

Should just need to add ?autoplay=true as a query string on these links.

There're an event post:sync that takes in a post record and view count that syncs the updated view count to the post model. This is on the lessons.show route, but also need to be added to blog.show, livestream.show, and news.show.

Event.emit('post:sync', { post, views })

In line with the activity table, I'd also like to add an achievement system. Something that'll give XP or badges for certain milestones

• milestone anniversaries
• completing x number of lessons
• commenting x number of times
• etc

This can be done via the node-html-parser for now.

Livestreams on the site are out-of-date. We'll want to post those that are missing so they're present on the site. Then, let's create a livestream landing page that can be used to:

• View past livestreams (Adocast Posts)
• View embed of any active livestream
• If a livestream is active, add a dismissable alert across the site.

Want to either move our image manipulation off the Adocasts server and onto a separate server or switch to generating various sizes on upload within Studio.

Currently, the image requests spike the CPU on the server and slow everything else down.

Adocasts+ restricted lessons will need a way to be privately hosted on the Adocasts site. For this, I've chosen Bunny Stream. Need to add support to allow for these videos to be added within Studio, displayed on the site along with all our video functionality.

Bunny's site says they use a version of Plyr so hopefully this'll be rather straightforward since I've already switched all the YouTube videos to Plyr.

/progress

Right now collecting an activity feed (for profiles) is a manual process from the various tables. In order to aggregate this towards a progression system, we'll need a way to be able to score these and store it as a single source.

Thinking the app/ViewModels/ActivityVM.ts class could be converted into a full model that would allow us to

• assign a score per "type" of action
• backfill existing user's actions into it
• easily sum up a user's overall score to discern a progression total
