Hello Hive Community Members,
Welcome to daily updates from @sagarkothari88 - a Hive Witness & mobile-app-developer. I daily invest my time with my skillset in #Hive & I daily hive-power-up.
Project: Distriator
Priority Bug Fix - Reviews are not shown
- Today, we encountered a critical issue. Business reviews on certain businesses were not showing up.
- Unfortunately, developer, who worked on it, was on leave today.
- So, I had to pitch in & start digging into it, to fix it.
- As you can see in the screenshot above, API was returning the data correctly
- However, there was some issue on the front-end side & due to which review tab wasn't showing up.
- My first assumption was - this could be JSON parsing issue.
- So, I removed all unwanted fields from model class & only kept the ones which are being used by UX.
- By doing this, we minimise the chance of error when parsing the data.
- It did the trick & I was able to view reviews locally.
- I thoroughly tested it (tested on most of the businesses) & after finding the bug-fix stable, I deployed it to production.
Another improvement needed urgently - Image Uploads
- @starkerz stated that, sometimes raw images which are taken by high resolution camera of high-end phones, can lead to slower image upload.
- All the images are uploaded as is - with highest resolution.
- Due to this, uploads are taking very long time if images are very big.
- We need to resize images before it gets uploaded.
- For asynchronous file upload, we are using TUS client on flutter side, which always requires a file.
- If we resize the image, flutter-web app only provides bytes of images & not the file
- Most packages don't support image-compression-with-file on web-app
- So, it's easier said than done in case of flutter based web-app.
- We're working on finding a solution for this & hopefully we'll be able to improve image-upload experience.
What's Next?
- Reducing the size of the image of an upload - In Development
- Putting Data on chain instead of centralised database - In Development
- Business Management With On-chain-implementation - To-Do
- Upload images for a business - Done
- Rule based editing things on business - To-Do
