Breadcrumbz - Computer Prototype

Accessing BucketList

The BucketList website can be found at this link, and should be viewed in Chrome or Safari. It was designed to be viewed best full-screen on a 15” computer screen, but can be viewed in smaller screens as well.

Shallow Backend

Login

The login page does not currently create an actual account or do any checks while logging you in.  However, if you choose to create a new account and enter your name, the system will use your name.  (If you don't, it will use "Alice Packer" as the default.)

Alerts

Alerts have not been implemented yet. In the final implementation, when typing a note, you will be able to click the ‘alert’ button to alert collaborators to important notes. When you are alerted to a note, a link to that bucket will appear, in bold, in your ‘Alerts’ drop-down. You will also receive an alert if another user adds you to a bucket or task, or when the due-date of an uncompleted task of yours is approaching. The ‘Alerts’ drop-down button will show a number indicate how many new alerts you have. Right now, this is all static content, and new alerts cannot be created.

Post-its

Post-it notes in the final implementation will be editable. If a user clicks the ‘edit’ button on the bottom right corner of a post-it, the note will become a text-area and the button will change to a ‘done’ button. The user can then edit the note from the post-it. It will remain editable until the user clicks ‘done’. The ‘x’ button on post-its will also close the note and reactivate the ‘sticky’ button beside that note in the ‘task view’. Users will be able to re-size post-it notes, so longer notes can be read without needing to scroll. In addition, when dragging post-its around the board, the post-it being dragged will always be set with the highest Z-index. Finally, double-clicking a post-it note will open the corresponding task view.

Collaborators

When adding collaborators in tasks, there will be a drop-down with auto-complete options for users already in that bucket. If a user attempts to add a collaborator not yet in the bucket, they will be given the option of adding the user to the bucket and the task. There will also be a check to make sure users being added are actually registered users of the system, and you will not be able to add a collaborator not registered in the system. The display picture beside the list of collaborators will be that user’s picture, and the ‘x’ beside the collaborator’s name will remove them from the bucket / task. Removing a collaborator from a bucket will also remove them from all tasks within the bucket. In the ‘bucket view’, it will also be possible to drag collaborators onto tasks, to more efficiently add users to multiple tasks in a bucket.

Due Dates

Currently we are experience some problems with our due-date interface, and sometimes clicking on the text box to set a due date does not bring up the calendar (to view the calendar for UI purposes, add 2 tasks in the 'bucket view', and click the 'due date' box for the top task).  This will be fixed for the final design, and users will be able to set the due dates of their tasks.

Other

Information is currently not synced across all views. This means that if something is changed or added, the change will not take effect in other places the information is displayed.
Clicking ‘my account’ will allow a user to change their password and profile picture.
The ‘clear completed’ button in the bottom right will also remove all tasks marked as completed.
Finally, information is not being saved, so all information will be lost when the page is refreshed.
