🖱️ To-Do

You can look into the issues here, on what features are missing from the mobile app.

Show local images everywhere

The local images to not yet show up in all views. You can help out by adding them to the views by implementing new selectors.

Maintainability

We currently are working on improving maintainability, by converting our code base to TypeScript. Most of the app is already TypeScript, but a few dozen plain-JavaScript modules remain — mostly under src/Theme, src/Containers, src/Components and src/Navigators. These are function components, theme and config files rather than classes. You can help out by converting them to TypeScript!

Viewing images offline

The Redux migration is done. The mobile app now uses Zustand stores (apps/mobile/src/stores/) with a typed API client built on TanStack Query (apps/mobile/src/api_client/), and the frontend uses TanStack Query too (apps/frontend/src/api_client/). AsyncStorage persistence for the stores is also in place: each store wraps Zustand's persist middleware with createJSONStorage(() => AsyncStorage), and JWTs are persisted through apps/mobile/src/api_client/platform/tokenStorage.ts.

A few things still stand between us and viewing images offline:

  • Create a shared package for the state management and API calls of the frontend and the mobile app (single sourcing)
  • Persist the TanStack Query cache to AsyncStorage so fetched data survives an app restart
  • Cache remote thumbnails and media on disk

Documentation

Write docs for functions and components and explain what they do, why it's there.
