1 Ordered punch-list (aiming to complete by 2021-01-08)
2 -----------------------------------------------------
4 • Add an "archive channel" button that is provided out after a puzzle
7 • Add tags to the puzzle edit interface
9 • Make the /hunt command drop from the database any rounds that have 0
12 Recently-proposed ideas (not yet prioritized)
13 ---------------------------------------------
14 • Need a more direct way to ask for help and to find who needs
15 help. Something like /state but with announcements in the main
16 channel and maybe a periodic "Here's where people need help" post or
19 • Fix all message posting in Slack to avoid limits, (breaking big
20 messages (is it 100 blocks? need to check) into multiple smaller
23 • Set-up an announcements Slack channel that's auto fed by email to a
24 particular email address.
26 • Have Turbot explicitly report long state strings to the channel,
27 (since the implicit report from settting the abbreviated topic won't
28 have the whole message).
30 • Allow a hunt (and perhaps a round) to have multiple URLs
32 • Provide an "Archive channel" button in the channel when outputting
33 the message that results from /solved.
35 • Would it be helpful to have some sort of "tools" command to collect
36 pointers to useful tools and allow for searching of them?
38 • Investigate what from snap2 we could incorporate into our sheets:
40 https://github.com/kevinychen/snap2
42 • Watch the recent hunt workshop that had some recommendations on
43 tools and see what from that we should incorporate
45 • Think about writing some custom solving tools, (like Qat, or
46 Nutrimatic, or Snap2, etc.)
48 • Fix slash commands to pass off processing to a separate Lambda and
49 then return immediately (removing the annoying "operation timeout"
50 complaints from Slack even when the command works exactly as it
53 • Hunt creation and editing should set the hunt channel's topic
55 • There should be a state string in the hunt (and support for the
56 /state command) so that there's a supported way to edit the hunt
57 channel's topic without destroying its links.
59 • The Turbot Home view and the /hunt output should emit the hunt links
60 and state string (similar to how puzzle links and state strings are
66 • Select round fields by default based on the round of the puzzle for
67 the channel in which `/puzzle` is invoked.
69 Hunt overview commands and filters
70 ----------------------------------
72 • On the Turbot home screen allow a dropdown for Unsolved/Solved/All
75 • On the Turbot home screen add a text box for a search hstring (to
76 work like the search string now available in "/hunt").
81 • Incorporate puzzle file uploads into the database state for each
82 puzzle. Any file uploaded to the Slack should get included
83 initially, but when editing a puzzle users can drop irrelevant files
84 or label relevant files.
86 Opt-in for channel invitations
87 ------------------------------
89 • Consider adding a user option to allow a user to opt-in to auto
90 invitation for all newly-created puzzle channels
95 • Add the solution to the sheet name on solved: "[TITLE] - Solved [ANSWER]"
97 • Use a hunt-specific Google Drive folder for creating all the
98 sheets. (This way, we can share out the "mh2021" folder to all team
99 members so that people can browse the sheets that way if wanted, and
100 have backup access to all of them on the off chance of Slack not
103 • Do something to make it more clear which tabs exist just as
104 backup/reference from the original template vs. any new tab a user
105 has created during the hunt. (Perhaps color the reference tabs
111 • Add support for recording/displaying those who have current roles
113 Maybe this should just be a "Post" in the main hunt channel, (and
114 need not have any direct Turbot support?)
116 • Think about some way to express solve priority
121 • Implement code to close out an entire hunt after the fact
123 • Figure out what tool we want to use for shared drawing on a puzzle
124 and integrate that into Turbot, (give a command that will generate a
125 new URL and will insert that URL into the Slack topic and the list
126 of links at the top of the sheet).
128 • Think about using a URL shortener API for the sheet URLs (to leave
129 more room in a channel topic for state string content)
