Peding stuff.
Has to be done
- Browsers and platforms: make sure everything is behaving properly
- Did not test yet in these OS: Android, Windows Mobile/Windows Phone
- Internet Explorer: already encountered several problems:
- Inline videos are not starting
- Videos in fancybox are not working (too slow to load and then, once closed, it seems they play again or something like that (we hear the sound of a replay))
- Opacity of overlay buttons is not working (hover buttons appear all the time)
- (The easiest to solve this may be not to show them at all if IE)
- Fancybox with videos is not behaving correctly
- iPad/iPhone and possibly other touch screen devices:
- [Not that bad, but] The play button over the video thumbnails does not make sense and requires an extra (meaningless) touch.
- I shoud test the platform and not show the button in these cases
- [Not that bad, but] The play button over the video thumbnails does not make sense and requires an extra (meaningless) touch.
- iPhone [OK now; I'm not using, but] Fancybox with big (how big?) images fail to load them...
- Videos:
- Some videos suffered some weird aspect ration transformation during scaling. I have to correct and re-upload them
- Still missing some videos
- Images:
- Add card image tooltips in the names of the patterns in each card's description section (as in the Relationships)?
- May be too much (graphically heavy)
- Make them bold too (try it, at least)?
- Check Spelling
- Perform a comprehensive check
- British/American English. I believe I'm using British English but I "realise" that I could say "realize" and it would still be British (right?). Yet the speller in suggesting me the former
- (Should double check this and possibly try another one British English speller).
- QR-Codes
- Old images with QR-Code, including the logo, need to be updated (in same cases they should be hacked to always point to the same page)
- New Features:
- Ranking mechanisms, particularly in the case of cards' pages
- Commenting: perhaps something better than the Talk pages
Wish List (and stuff that needs a second thought)
- Games:
- would it be interesting to link names of Games to some page with some more information about the game?
- (this would be done automatically, by parsing the names of the games in the source pages)
- individual pages, or a common page with a section for each game
- what information would be given regarding each game?
- it is important to keep in mind that this is not a site about the games... So the included information should not tend towards a game description
- but it could give some pointers for readers to be able to take contact with a game should they not know it
- perhaps: the official site, its wikipedia page (other alternative?), the game's own wiki, should it exist
- but it could give some pointers for readers to be able to take contact with a game should they not know it
- the list of examples from that game that we included in this site
- hmmm... what would be the point?
- it might have as well other examples from the game, which we have but did not included in the card's pages (other instances of a same example, unselected examples, ...)
- it is important to keep in mind that this is not a site about the games... So the included information should not tend towards a game description
- Should links to Cards be distinctive from those to other things (namely in the cards' descriptions)?
- That would give some more freedom to use alternate forms of the names of the cards (e.g., just 'captions' instead of 'Subtitles and Captions' if that is proper in a particular sentence)
- On the other hand, we should stick to the 'original' card name, in order to augment memorability and to avoid ambiguities
- in the cards'/patterns' pages: insert frequency and or confidence indicators (possibly from the same source as Most Frequently Used
- maybe supporting in-place user input too
- Change the height of Fancybox according to the aspect ratio of each video, so that there is no need for the vertical bars
- Detect iPhone and, when playing embed movies, serve a version bigger then the 250px (480px or even 640px)
- Although that will make them slower to load...
- And, if we serve the 640x when opening the embed, then it will be equal to the overlayed (which is 640px and cannot be bigger)
- (Maybe I should deactivate the overlayed movie feature, if it is a iPhone, to start with)
- Include links (namely for other cards/patterns) in captions of movie thumbnails
- iPhone: to date Fancyboxes with videos open/launch in a position that does takes in account the current scroll/zoom of the page, which implies that it may appear in a place out of sight (a demand scrolling to be found). It would be nice to fix this.
- Some games have more than one distinctive explorations of a same pattern. Instead of selecting one two show, it would be interesting to be able to scroll among them in the same viewport.
- This would also be pertinent in those games we are presenting more exhaustively
- Captions would have to change too... A consequently the size of the box...
- Printable output of the all site
