# burnchart

## Concept

GitHub Burndown Chart as a service. Public repos are free, for private access auth via GitHub and pay.

## Name

charcoal, charriot

- gurndown [.com/.io] github burndown
- bithubchart [.com/.io] burndown github chart
- burnchart [.io]

## Tasks

### MVP

- landing page allows you to immediately jump into action
- past repos are cached remotely or in localStorage
- show chart for the current milestone or choose a custom one
- be able to config options through UI that currently have to be hardcoded in config
- embed user tracking
- sort projects based on their closest due dates
- show only repo name if all projects are under our name
- rotate between percentage progress and points left
- Send notifications to people like Codeship or have our own delivery system perhaps like Github or just show a notification icon and onclick ask people to upgrade 

### The 20%

- Do not show login/logged-in state when we are still fetching that information from Firebase
- Handle 404 on routes; from catch all check if '/' or go 404 controller
- Variable document.title on different pages
- In add a project form autocomplete on my username, orgs I am member of and repos I have access to
- Someone might create a public repo, add it to the system and switch it to private; need to check repo priviledges at runtime; or when asking for auth, one would choose either public OR public/private, but this could get confusign.
- Make sure the padding fits throughout the interface; we have user-select on elements.
- Validate repo input and show a loading sign of sorts
- When fetching repo say if no perms to access or does not exist
- Check location.hash is supported
- Have an app wide of triggering a URL and have named routes too
- Check that we have not run out of requests to make

### Extras

- choose your own strategy for naming issues, e.g. all issues are one size
- choose your own theme
- custom milestone start dates
- show burndown chart for all milestones
- handle Enterprise editions of GH
- auto-update the chart (with delay when no activity) when logged-in
- show a countdown clock towards the end of the milestone or show overdue
- add weekly velocity across all projects and a bar chart to that effect
- show a little lightning and a number for today's velocity
- show burnchart only for your tasks; this would be a second category of projects & tasks in the dashboard
- show an overall text-based status like: all projects on time etc.
- until GH fix milestone start date then provide an option to specify it (either do that on GH server or locally)
- work on mobile devices
- show velocity number for each member of the team in the corner of the layout
- show velocity for all team members and how it progresses through time
- points collector - give medals for 1st 3 spots in terms of velocity
- show past commits or due dates like in [this calendar](https://dribbble.com/shots/1736128-Meetups-Page?list=shots&sort=popular&timeframe=now&offset=5)
