Description
Sprint 1:
- Change to circular avatars - quick
- Login logo is too big, must match Files app - quick
- Buttons must look the same as iOS Files: - quick
- Move settings to dropdown - quick
- Hide date on note editing behind pulldown. Or remove it completely. - quick
- Show last edited timestamp, still relative - quick
- Onboarding screen should be similar to example, then switches to log in - half a day
- In Internal editor, pressing + button results in loading, should be instant (android creates local file first) - 2 days
- Have a dropdown + separate icon for preview and share - half a day
Sprint 2:
- Multi account support (currently only single account allowed) - 5 days
- Add account dropdown on home screen, like iOS Files - 1 day
Sprint 3:
- Support offline mode - partially supported
- We store offline notes in storage, but we never sync them automatically, and we don't have a pending indicator. Android has those - 3 days - Add search option for a note on iOS - 2 days
Needs further discussion:
- Home opens to “All notes” by default. Have a “back button” to list all categories as “folders”, like in Native app:
- iPad should have a split view instead: -1 day
These two are tied together. We already show categories at a header in the list view (matching android). If these 2 are to be done, we should then remove the category from the list view.
Already done:
- Update list visuals (grouped)
