## **Roadmap** ### **Collaboration**
We welcome contributions! Heres how you can help:
1. **Item Management** (In progress) ### 1. **Contribute Code**
- Implement a form (`item_form.rs`) to allow users to add new items with metadata and key-value tags. - Fork the repository and create a new branch for your feature or fix.
- Create a listing component (`items_list.rs`) to display and manage added items. - Ensure your changes are well-tested and include documentation if necessary.
- Add backend functionality to validate and persist items using the Leptos framework. - Open a **pull request** describing the changes and why they are useful.
2. **Nostr Integration** (In progress) ### 2. **Report Issues**
- Use Nostr events for decentralized data storage, mapping item data to specific Nostr event types. - If you encounter bugs or have suggestions, please open an issue on the [Issues page](https://forge.ftt.gmbh/ryanmwangi/Compware/issues).
- Authenticate users through their Nostr keys for secure and decentralized access. - Provide as much detail as possible, including steps to reproduce the issue and relevant error messages.
- Enable data sharing and synchronization with Nostr-compatible clients.
### 3. **Feature Suggestions**
- We are constantly looking to improve CompareWare. If you have ideas for new features, please share them in the Issues section.
- You can also help us prioritize future work by commenting or upvoting on existing feature requests.
## **Compareware: Next Steps** ### 4. **Documentation Contributions**
- If you spot areas in the documentation that need improvement or if you have suggestions for clearer explanations, please feel free to submit a pull request with the updates.
- Helping others understand the project is just as valuable as contributing code!
Heres how I intend to break down the vision into actionable steps to build upon the current codebase Ive already built: ### 5. **Community and Discussion**
- Feel free to ask questions, provide feedback, or engage in discussions related to CompareWares development.
### **Immediate Steps** ### 6. **Test and Review**
- Help by reviewing pull requests to ensure the code meets our standards and is bug-free.
- Test new features and provide feedback to improve their functionality and usability.
#### **Basic Interface (Spreadsheet-like):** We appreciate any contributions that can help improve CompareWare and make it more useful for the community!
- Create a grid-based UI to represent items and their properties.
- Use rows for properties and columns for items.
- Leverage a Leptos-based table or a custom grid component for rendering.
#### **Autocompletion for Adding Items and Properties:**
- Integrate Wikidata's search API to provide autocompletion for item and property inputs.
- Add a fallback to redirect users to the Wikidata item creation page when a search fails.
#### **Fetching Basic Information:**
- Use Wikidata's REST API to fetch metadata for newly added items (e.g., description, tags, etc.).
- Populate these fields in the spreadsheet automatically after adding an item.
---
### **Building on the Current Code**
#### **Enhance the `ItemForm` to Allow:**
- Searching for existing items via Wikidata.
- Displaying fetched details in the form.
- Modify the `handle_submit` function to fetch and populate additional item details after submission.
#### **Update the `App` Component to:**
- Add a placeholder grid view using Leptos `view!` macro.
- Render the comparison grid.
- Add functionality to fetch items' properties dynamically from Wikidata.
#### **Add Wikidata Autocompletion:**
- Use Gloo's HTTP client to make calls to the Wikidata search API.
---
### **Mid-Term Enhancements**
#### **Editable Fields with Wikidata Sync:**
- Implement field-level editing in the grid.
- Use Wikidata's APIs to update data directly for logged-in users.
#### **Subjective Properties with Nostr Integration:**
- Add a toggle for "objective" (Wikidata) vs. "subjective" (Nostr-backed) properties.
- Store subjective properties locally first and publish them to a Nostr relay for decentralized edits.
#### **Cache Mechanism:**
- Use a lightweight database (e.g., SQLite or a key-value store like Redis) as a cache for frequently accessed items and properties.
- Implement cache invalidation for edits to ensure the latest data is fetched.
---
### **Advanced Features**
#### **Advanced Filtering and Sorting:**
- Add functionality to filter items by tags or properties.
- Enable sorting by property values.
#### **Item Suggestions:**
- Based on properties and tags, suggest items for comparison.
#### **Collaborative Comparison:**
- Enable real-time collaboration with WebSockets, allowing users to view and edit comparisons together.
#### **Export/Share Comparison:**
- Add options to export the comparison as a CSV or share it via a unique link.
