1 Ordered punch-list (aiming to complete by 2021-01-08)
2 -----------------------------------------------------
4 • Make `/puzzle` for a meta puzzle also display the names/answers of
5 all puzzles in the round.
7 • Add /tag to add/remove tags (will force to all caps and store as a
8 prefix as part of the state string for now)
10 Specifically, this should be "/tag TAG_NAME" or "/tag +TAG_NAME" to
11 add a tag and "/tag -TAG_NAME" to remove a tag.
13 • Make the /hunt command drop from the database any rounds that have 0
16 Recently-proposed ideas (not yet prioritized)
17 ---------------------------------------------
18 • Set-up an announcements Slack channel that's auto fed by email to a
19 particular email address.
21 • Have Turbot explicitly report long state strings to the channel,
22 (since the implicit report from settting the abbreviated topic won't
23 have the whole message).
25 • In messages (like from /solved) don't use a raw user_name value from
26 the request, but instead some tagged version of a user ID (which
27 Slack will render as a display name).
29 • Allow a hunt (and perhaps a round) to have multiple URLs
31 • Provide an "Archive channel" button in the channel when outputting
32 the message that results from /solved.
34 • Would it be helpful to have some sort of "tools" command to collect
35 pointers to useful tools and allow for searching of them?
37 • Investigate what from snap2 we could incorporate into our sheets:
39 https://github.com/kevinychen/snap2
41 • Watch the recent hunt workshop that had some recommendations on
42 tools and see what from that we should incorporate
44 • Think about writing some custom solving tools, (like Qat, or
45 Nutrimatic, or Snap2, etc.)
47 • Fix slash commands to pass off processing to a separate Lambda and
48 then return immediately (removing the annoying "operation timeout"
49 complaints from Slack even when the command works exactly as it
55 • Select round fields by default based on the round of the puzzle for
56 the channel in which `/puzzle` is invoked.
58 • Consider putting a round prefix into the channel name to group a
59 round's puzzles in the channel list.
61 Hunt overview commands and filters
62 ----------------------------------
64 • On the Turbot home screen allow a dropdown for Unsolved/Solved/All
67 • On the Turbot home screen add a text box for a search hstring (to
68 work like the search string now available in "/hunt").
73 • Incorporate puzzle file uploads into the database state for each
74 puzzle. Any file uploaded to the Slack should get included
75 initially, but when editing a puzzle users can drop irrelevant files
76 or label relevant files.
78 Opt-in for channel invitations
79 ------------------------------
81 • Consider adding a user option to allow a user to opt-in to auto
82 invitation for all newly-created puzzle channels
87 • Add the solution to the sheet name on solved: "[TITLE] - Solved [ANSWER]"
89 • Use a hunt-specific Google Drive folder for creating all the
90 sheets. (This way, we can share out the "mh2021" folder to all team
91 members so that people can browse the sheets that way if wanted, and
92 have backup access to all of them on the off chance of Slack not
95 • Come up with a better sheet template (Nathan has got one available here:
97 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1drSoyrE4gM3JaGweDkOybwXWdKPIDTfUmB1gQCYS3Uw/edit#gid=1471575838
99 • Put the puzzle's name into the primary tab of the sheet
101 • When copying tabs from the spreadsheet template, don't leave the
102 default "Copy of " text in place.
104 • Do something to make it more clear which tabs exist just as
105 backup/reference from the original template vs. any new tab a user
106 has created during the hunt. (Perhaps color the reference tabs
112 • Add support for recording/displaying those who have current roles
114 Maybe this should just be a "Post" in the main hunt channel, (and
115 need not have any direct Turbot support?)
117 • Think about some way to express solve priority
122 • Implement code to close out an entire hunt after the fact
124 • Figure out what tool we want to use for shared drawing on a puzzle
125 and integrate that into Turbot, (give a command that will generate a
126 new URL and will insert that URL into the Slack topic and the list
127 of links at the top of the sheet).
129 • Think about using a URL shortener API for the sheet URLs (to leave
130 more room in a channel topic for state string content)
