Node 8 is deprecated as of now. Needs upgrade to continue using properly

https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/migrating/nodejs-runtimes

Communicative English doesn't show up on the timetable for Sections G and H.

Describe the solution you'd like
The mentor's page has very basic design as of now. It should be improved to make it consistent with the overall theme of app in other sections

Expected behavior
To show something in the foreground before it redirects to the Notifications Page.

Reference:

While opening the app for the first time, and while searching for mentors, Roll number has to be entered. If an extra space is present after or before the roll number it's not accepted as a valid one.

Text widget clearing on widget rebuild
The user-data screen in the login flow is the route with the issue. The text widget gets cleared of the data on pressing the keyboard hide button or the continue button.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to user data screen after login
2. Type something in the text fields
3. Press the back button below the keyboard
4. See the error of the text field getting cleared

Expected behaviour
The text field should retain the data even on the widget rebuild.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Nokia 6.1 Plus
• Android 9.0
• v1.0.0

Describe the bug
The app crashes when a new user goes to the appointments page for the first time. A blue colour oval shaped loader appears before the app freezes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Clear you ap data and register.
2. Click on 'Book your Appointment'

Expected behaviour
The app must not crash

Screenshots

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Can be reproduced on any smartphone.
• Device: [Asus Zenfone max pro m1]
• OS: [ Android 9.0]

Could someone explain what the TimeTable.java file exactly does?

Many variables names do not follow Dart's guidelines. Various instances of unused functions and imports. A lot of redundant code is present.

The Time Table of First year seems to be fixed to the Autumn Semester only.

For example, the timings of sections seem to be still in Autumn semester without the sequence being changed.

Can check the present date for whether it is in Spring or Autumn semester and render the timetable accordingly? :)

Description

In app reviews is a relatively new feature to Android where the user can rate our app from the app itself.

Problem

In app reviews should not have a call to action button. Also, the number of times in app reviews can be invoked is regulated by Play services, and can be called only 2-3 times in a year, so we need to call it judiciously

Package

This package can be used https://pub.dev/packages/in_app_review

Using The WebView widget instead of redirecting the URL to the browser. May make better experience if the URL opens in the app itself.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many users books an appointment without actual intention.

Describe the solution you'd like
Making the booking process tougher.

Additional context
The users now need to upload their Id card image so that only verified and intentional user books an appointment.

Later one can even introduce ML kit to verify the users are genuine.

If for some reason the internet is down while we are searching something in FAQ, app crashes instantly

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to FAQ
2. Let the initial list load
3. Turn off your Mobile data/WiFi
4. Try searching for something

If we are already into the FAQ section and then net connection is down, then we just exit the FAQ screen. If net is down in the homepage itself, i.e before tapping onto the FAQ card, the whole app crashes and exits

• Device: Moto G5+
• OS: PixelOS(Android 9.0 flavour)

Thing to consider here is that FAQ section has been implemented in Native and integrated into Flutter using Platform channel. Checking for internet availability before sending any request should squash the bug

Currently, the app only serves regular timetable, while leaving out the tutorial class timetable. The app should be modified to accommodate both the timetables and designed accordingly

On clicking the "Timetable" card, it splits into two, one for the normal timetable and the other for tutorial classes. Clicking the respective card leads to respective timetables.

Present main.dart file is too complex. Having the functionality separated would make the code clean and easy to manage

• Users can log their absence(Subject, Date, User ID).
• Replace ICS remeidal classes timetable with attendance tracker(Timetable card splits into two).

Proposed solution

1. A Firebase Cloud Functions based function to reset them weekly via an Admin Panel type configuration
2. An admin app on mobile with similar features

Present Case
A maintainer needs to manually do it by editing the database

The message button in mentor's details has functionality of sending text messages. Text messages are usually ignored by most. How about adding a contact via WhatsApp feature? That way, the mentees can directly contact their mentors on whatsapp even if their number is not saved.

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behaviour
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: [e.g. Nokia 6.1 Plus]
• OS: [e.g. Android 9.0]
• Version [e.g. 22]

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

The present screen is made in Native Android. Re-make in Flutter.

Data would be fetched via API(not yet ready)

The project code needs to be documented.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
NITians feel difficult every time to go through the pdf and websites for checking out their syllabus especially the freshers.

Describe the solution you'd like
The chatbot will hence help the students figure out the syllabus just by entering the Subject code or subject name

Describe alternatives you've considered
I am also thinking of making the chatbot respond for common FAQs which are listed by the freshers. It might hence make the chatbot dynamic.

Configure the app to Android 10( API Level 29)

Problem

Currently we have over a third of our users in v 2.2, which is considerably old, being used by the non freshers. This is because they are never notified about any update to the app. A simple notification will be discarded easily. Hence, we can have a solution where a popup comes up, forcing user to update the app.

Solution

We can use a mix of remote config and a native updater dialog- https://pub.dev/packages/native_updater

In the attendance tracker, make a feature to delete the existing entries of a particular day.

At present we have a reset button which removes all the registered data.

Display splash screen until the user is logged in

Describe the bug
The present code on building a debug apk causes an error

To Reproduce
Try to build a debug apk

Fetch the important documents from Firebase document. As of now, it is done statically

When we hit the back button from the homepage, we expect to exit the app. Instead it shows a black screen first, then we need to hit the back button again to exit the app

The splash screen animator

Description

Currently the icon shown in a notification is a grey circle, which is the fallback icon for Android

Fix

• Generate notification icon assets using this nifty tool by Roman Nurik
• Unzip the file and move each icon to their respective mipmap location
• Add a <meta-data> inside <application> tag

<meta-data
   android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
   android:resource="@mipmap/icon_notification" />

• Icon will be grayscale by default. A color can be applied to icon and the app name text in the notification by declaring another <meta-data>

       <meta-data
          android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_color"
          android:resource="@android:color/green" />

References

Go through this Firebase documentation to learn more about handling FCM Notifications.

Note- Reinstall the app after making the changes to see the effect

The links of website and intents that open phone for the call are not intuitive. A demarcation with a colour/text-style would enhance user-experience.

Refer the Developer Info, About ICS Page, Important Docs.

• Presently, the information about the faculty members and other members of the ICS have been hardcoded. The information may change after one sometime(maybe the faculty members change or the students coordinating may change.) and it may be feasible if we show them dynamically.

• I would like to propose fetching the information from firebase and rendering the same dynamically.

In the current app, while using routes, the app uses strings to mention the specific page and this can cause typos and ultimately errors while coding.

It is better to refactor the code such that we can just declare the string in that specific screen and tap into that constant from anywhere easily thereby reducing typos and errors.

Make a section in About Developers Page

Describe the solution you'd like
Inspiration can be taken from YouTube which shows at the bottom a message when the user goes offline and/or comes back online.

This should be done modular so that it can cover all sections of the app

Send an instant update to all users in times of need
Implement FCM and store them in the database to view later

• Academic and other notifications(Academics for everyone, Other notifications optional).
• Add option to (un)subscribe to other notifications.
• Store device tokens in Firestore

Use the GraphQL client to fetch the data for prefect and co-ordinators and displaying in the About ICS page in the drawer.
