Description

This PR includes some basic functionality for including polls in tweets. It limits so that only admins can include polls because I think there are more complexities around polls we want to nail down, along the lines of:

• An article with a poll probably shouldn't allow edits because that could compromise the poll.
• A poll should only be able to be embedded in a single article as to keep context consistent.
• This means more "awareness" of the context from the liquid tag perspective.
• A poll should be definable through some fairly straightforward UI which begs questions of when a poll gets "saved".

So for now I made it so that it's more of a conceptual feature for now that we can use internally but it will be fun to show off until we answer the rest of the questions.

Forgive my silly placeholder text:

A dashboard for users to manage their listings:

• see all their listings (info: organization, title, date, category tags | actions: edit )
• show number of listings, create listing button, number of credits for logged in user (and the orgs they are in), buy credits button
• displayed information adjusts to which organization or user is selected

Future PRs:

• Sorting listings by creation/bump date
• Visual indication of expired listings
• Directly bump or delete listings from within Dashboard rather than having to go into the Edit page
• Analytics
• Reflect expired state of listings in editing so it's clear when to re-publish/bump.
• Testing for the entire Preact listings side

Description

With this PR we introduce a new feature only available to pro users: the history.

The feature borrows a lot from the reading list, maybe in the future we could refactor both to share more code (both in the CSS which is nearly identical, the JS and the Ruby code). I don't think this PR should do that right away.

Index

As for the reading list we're using Algolia for indexing. The index is built by instances of the PageView (only those of pro users are added to the index):

This is the index's definition:

  algoliasearch index_name: "UserHistory", per_environment: true, if: :belongs_to_pro_user? do
    attributes :referrer, :time_tracked_in_seconds, :user_agent, :article_tags

    attribute(:article_title) { article.title }
    attribute(:article_path) { article.path }
    attribute(:article_reading_time) { article.reading_time }
    attribute(:viewable_by) { user_id }
    attribute(:visited_at_timestamp) { created_at.to_i }

    attribute :article_user do
      # ...
    end

    attribute :readable_visited_at do
      # ...
    end

    searchableAttributes(
      %i[referrer user_agent article_title article_searchable_tags article_searchable_text],
    )

    tags { article_tags }

    attributesForFaceting ["filterOnly(viewable_by)"]

    customRanking ["desc(visited_at_timestamp)"]
  end

Basically we index the referrer (currently unused), the time tracked (currently unused), the user agen (currently unused), some properties for the article (tags, title, path, reading time, user). We also index a readable date shown (which is not the time the article was published like in the reading list but the time the user visited such article).

We also allow the user to search on article's tags, title and body excerpt. The searchable index currently contains the referrer and the user agent as well BUT I'm not sure those should be "silently" searchable, without a better UI (or a visible facet?).

Everything is then ranked by descending timestamp, so that the new visits will appear at the top

Pagination

This PR contains pagination for the results, see screenshots below

Open questions / issues

• should we add referrer, time tracked and user agent if we don't show them? If we do want to show them, what's the best way to do it?

• should the user be able to search on referrer and user agent "silently" ?

• what else we should add to the single item in the UI?

• Page views can be repeated, in the sense that if I visit an article twice in a row, I'll see two entries. Is that ok? See example:

• should we put the link to the history page in the homepage?

I am proposing to change it to something like this:

So that it reflects night theme. It should not change anything on the default/minimal light/pink theme tho, since it isn't contrast to the background.

I'm not quite sure if what I'm doing with the themeable is correct, so let me know. Also if there's a better color suggestion. Thank you.

In the newly pushed Listing Dashboard (see PR below), if you are an admin of one or more orgs, you will see all listings under those organizations. It shows the edit button for each listing as well, but when you click edit, it leads to an error because authorization was limited to users with the same user_id in the listing and doesn't account for org_admins wanting to edit a listing.

This PR adds validation for org_admins for organization_id in the appropriate listings.

I just noticed that when you view your Followers list, currently there's no "Follow Back" option next to the follower's name.

Currently you would have to click the profile of the follower, then that's the time you can follow him/her back.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if there's a "Follow Back" button next to the follower's name, or at the far right of each div (if it's a div) if you're not currently followed to him/her yet. This makes following back more quicker and more nicer, to me I guess =)

And if you're already followed to him / her, a "Followed" icon would show up I suppose. =)

Added an image to show what I currently have in mind, I added blue squares at the end of each follower =)

I'm frustrated when I see notifications that are related to people I follow creating a new post.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd love to be able to turn off notifications so that I am not notified when people I follow create a new post.

I'm not sure the best way to solve this but could be nice to have two options:

1. Turn off all notifications for posts by people I follow
2. Have a list of people I follow, and be able to selectively choose which people I want to be notified of their new posts.

This way, I only receive notifications when people interact with my posts. Describe alternatives you've considered

Current workarounds:

• Don't follow anyone
• Don't open notifications

(okay these are meant to be funny, but I don't see any real alternatives yet).

Additional context

I don't have time to work on it myself (or experience, no Ruby exp for me yet).

Other people on Twitter seem to agree this would be nice.

Additional context

Including article:tag in the meta information will be a good idea for SEO I have seen that dev.to has already a og:type tag.

<meta property="og:type" content="article">

So adding to this could be a good idea. freecodecamp also has a article:tag

<meta property="article:tag" content="Angular">

Taking it further article:author could also be added.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not really a problem, but I've noticed that some tags get misused a lot. Especially the discuss tag seems to be used as a wildcard for all sorts of topics. Since the guidelines are only visible in the tag page, I suspect a lot of users don't even know that they exist.

Describe the solution you'd like Maybe it would be good to display the guidelines for the tags added to the post in the editor view, with a warning that tags not adhering to the guidelines may be removed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

There is a manual switch for a dark mode, but that is inconvenient and I would have to do that on each site if each site were doing it like this.

Describe the solution you'd like

There is a quite new CSS media query feature called prefers-color-scheme. It allows you to detect whether the system/user wants a dark website, so you can adjust your CSS.

Currently it is only supported by Safari and Firefox 67 or higher.

Anyway, it would be great, if you could make use of this to automatically select the correct style.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keep manual switch -> ugly. (Note: You can still keep it, so the user can overwrite it, but you can change the default.)

Additional context

BTW: I also have a Firefox add-on called “Dark Mode Website Switcher” (source code) that you can use to toggle this setting in Firefox directly – without needing to change the system option. Maybe that could be helpful.

I'd love to have an Instagram link added. There's a growing developer community on Instagram and it'd be nice to be able to link to Instagram from our dev.to profile.

Describe the bug My notification window will sometimes say "90" people recently reacted, only to then see "70" people recently reacted a few minutes later. This is very confusing and doesn't add value to the experience.

To Reproduce Get a lot of reactions on a post. Watch updates in notification window.

Expected behavior I'm assuming this is implemented with a rolling window for the notification metrics. That's completely valid but maybe the notification window could show the timeframe of the recent reactions.

"70 people reacted in the last X minutes" OR just show total reactions!

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: OSX
• Browser: Chrome

Describe the bug When the horizontal size of the Dev.to window is scaled down, the "image" buttons can get lost and the window must be resized to recover them.

To Reproduce

1. Edit a post.
2. Narrow your browser window horizontally while watching the image button in the editor pane
3. Wait until it disappears

Expected behavior Buttons don't go on spiritual journeys outside of the browser.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. You currently cannot add more than 1 image at a time. This amongst other issues with the image uploading process causes it to be incredibly tedious.

Describe the solution you'd like Allow me to upload all the images at once. Generate sequential uuids for the URI's so addressability isn't an issue.

Describe the bug When a notification is received, the link to the article/comment is using the same permalink as can be used to reference it. If a user changes their name this permalink is broken and leads to a 404 page.

To Reproduce

1. Generate a notification somehow
2. Change the username of the notification sender
3. Try following the link

Expected behavior The link should still work and lead to the Article or comment.

Screenshots Notification with url Following the notification Comment on article. NOTE: Username change Permalink url of comment after name change

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS Mojave 10.14.5
• Browser: Google Chrome
• Version: 75

Suggestion My suggestion for a fix, would be to have accounts linked to a uniquely generated id, allowing the names to be changed independently of any permalinks. The username could redirect to the unique id version of the url.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Occasionally, spam users will join DEV in order to post articles/comments that are primarily designed for a backlink. We already have several mechanisms in place to proactively and reactively deal with this sort of abuse, but we can do more to specifically deter comment spam.

Describe the solution you'd like Make all links in comments rel="nofollow".

Additional context Per convo with team, this would mean adding rel="nofollow" to links when parsing the markdown in comments, but not in articles.

Describe the bug When posting an article like this on e- https://dev.to/rikschennink/ul-or-ol-do-you-know-when-to-choose-which-5cic which has HTML elements in the title, those will not be displayed properly on the notification page - https://dev.to/rikschennink/ul-or-ol-do-you-know-when-to-choose-which-5cic.

Expected behavior HTML elements should show up as text when placed in titles from all views on the site.

Screenshots

Describe the bug If your post begins with a code block, the preview shows it unformatted and without \n.

Oh and I noticed while posting this, that an image link in first part of a post also doesn't transfer to preview.

To Reproduce Example post

```
// caller
function foo(callback) {
  callback('world');
}

// callback function
function myCallback(name) {
  console.log(`Hello ${name}`); // "hello world"
}

// pass callback to caller
foo(myCallback);
```

Create a draft and look at the preview

Expected behavior Just remove the preview for now. Maybe something clever as backlog.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to turn off being notified (by the number icon in the top right corner) when I have received a heart/like on a comment or article.

Describe the solution you'd like

When you go to the notification settings page, there's a checkbox option to turn off receiving notifications for hearts / likes. Ideally I'd like to be notified when someone comments / replies to a comment but nothing else.

I want to be able to see all #react tag posts, but not include #react #redux posts.

It would be nice to always exclude posts based on tags you don't want to see.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users occasionally want the ability to temporarily hide / deactivate their account so that they're able to keep their content and history on DEV but if need be can take a break due to work/other online commitments.

Describe the solution you'd like

Perhaps a user could turn on "vacation" mode so that their account is out of view. During this mode:

• the user wouldn't be able to comment/use reactions/write posts/make listings/message over Connect (maybe other actions?)

• their writing, profile, and comments wouldn't be visible. (anything that would identifying activity)

• they could still be logged in to view their feed, add items to their reading list,change things about their profile while it's out of view, etc.

• notifications would still be controlled under their own setting

Describe alternatives you've considered I considered a similar idea to the above where the user would have to completely be logged out during their vacation.

Additional context Right now, when users have to delete their presence on the site for whatever reason, they can't get it back. They must create a fresh account.

Describe the bug

When a user puts too much info in his/her profile, it gets covered up. It should be scrollable or something.

Kind of hard to explain with words but I think it's easy to understand what I'm trying to say from the screenshot.

To Reproduce

1. Check her profile

https://dev.to/mollynem

Expected behavior All the info should be readable.

Additional context

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My blog's RSS feed (https://blog.gypsydave5.com/feeds/feed.rss) does not publish the blogs content to each item in the feed. I'm under the impression that this is what's needed to publish to dev.to via RSS.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like the dev.to RSS reader to make an HTTP request to the <link> in each <item> to fetch the article, parse it, then extract the HTML around the <article> tag (which seems like the appropriate tag). The reader should revert to previous behaviour should any of this fail.

Describe alternatives you've considered I could start putting the content in a <content> tag, but I feel this is wrong because

• it's not in the RSS spec
• there's already link to the content in the RSS item
• it would unnecessarily increase the size of the feed.

Context I'm happy to work on this, but my Ruby is rusty.

(my Rust, however, is not ruby-y... 😜)

Describe the bug

The time estimate is not the same in the search results and if you go to the article.

I think some of them are right? I'd say the one in the search results seems smaller.

To Reproduce Either:

• click here
• and here

Or:

• go to the search bar
• type something
• choose an article, read the time estimate
• click on the article, check the estimate

Expected behavior

Both estimates should be the same.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Describe the bug I saw I had 138 notifications, I went to the page, but it only listed 53 items on the page and offered no way to see the other unseen notifications.

Additionally, the notifications that I did not see have been marked as seen once I went to the Notification page.

The issues are:

• Not all notifications are displayed.
• Notifications not displayed are marked as seen.

To Reproduce

1. Do not go to your Notification page until you have over 53 notifications. So 55-60 should suffice.
2. Click on Notification Icon from Home page
3. Count the number of notifications on the page, should max out to 53 items.
4. Go back to the home page and note that it no longer shows 55-60 notifications even though you only saw 53.

Expected behavior I would expect notifications not the marked as seen until they each appear in the active view of the browser. So when the Notifications page renders, only the initial notifications seen in the first view should be marked as seen.

Additionally, I expect that I can scroll down or page over to view all my notifications.

when loading various Glitch iframes (based on the little testing I was able to done)

2. Done, the error should appear

Expected behavior While the iframe loads correctly if you press "Try again" it should load correctly the first time.

• I haven't investigated the Response Code Glitch provides as I'm in mobile. Knowing it could help.
• It's probably a system to avoid bots to overload the Glitch website.
