So I remind you that the purpose of this post is mainly to review the entire stack, find charitable souls who have a little time to kill and above all make improvements!
From my side, I’ve been coding for some time with the express / sequelize framework for the database part and I do a bit of react so I can perfectly help
I think you’ve said a lot, I don’t necessarily have the time right now to start the reflection and write a long post since my priority remains the Gateway until it’s in production + releasing the new visual identity, I think everyone is just waiting for that at the moment
I’m coming back to France for Christmas, December 12th to be exact (that’s in 1 month and 12 days, not so far away!)
I thought it could be a good opportunity to meet up and work on this, and to start on the right foot When I’m in design mode, I’m very much into pen and paper, so a face-to-face meeting would be great!
We could organize a kind of mini-meetup/workshop/hackathon/whatever you want, what do you think?
Don’t you work during the week? For me, the week is fine.
Well, I’m going to detail my schedule here so we can organize:
I land on December 12th in Paris
During the weekend of the 15th/16th, I have my engineering school graduation, so I’m not available And between the flight and that, I have a mountain of things to do, so I don’t think I can.
The week of the 17th to the 21st seems best. After that, it’s Christmas anyway ^^
Absolutely! But just to set the objectives of this meeting:
The goal is to define the basics of v4, which means:
Database modeling
Module system: how to ensure that the module architecture is as resilient to bugs as possible? How to ensure that modules do not crash Gladys / at least minimize crashes?
Technological choices (front-end technologies, back-end technologies, even if they are already chosen in broad terms, there is the entire ecosystem of packages we want to use. Which ORM? Which DB migration library? Well, I already have ideas for all this since in the gateway I have already thought about it and I am really happy with the stack, but we can discuss it )
More general reflections on Gladys in terms of UX: What problems are we trying to solve? What are users trying to do in the UI and how can we make it as fast as possible for them?
Scenario architecture: I would like to review this, I have ideas!
And many other things!
We are not going to code during this meeting, it’s really just definition, and for me the goal is not to be finished at the end of the day, it’s a huge job that will take time and needs to be thought through. The more the definition is simple and clear, the faster the implementation will be afterward
Note: This is not a meetup, and I don’t think I will make any communication about it! It’s just a small developer meeting (but if people want to organize a meetup in December, we can definitely do that too, I’m up for it too!)
and above all make improvements!
