Engineering Improvements

Removed frontend code debt

The Angular version is upgraded to the latest version i.e V14

Optimized database query insights

We have made optimizations to improve the performance of database queries.

Microsoft word Image issue on Importing document

While importing a .docx file, the images aren't uploaded to the Squibler Editor. The issue has been fixed with the following limitations - 

• It will not properly parse all paragraphs and may miss a few lines of text during parsing
• It will not retain the same font styling
• It will not format the lists created project created in Docx
• It will not import charts and tables

Label change

The following label has been changed from Rename to Rename Project.

Changed the graphql endpoint

Currently, the default graphql endpoint, i.e /graphql is in use, which is not good in terms of security purposes, so it has been changed to a non-default one.

Editor UX improvements

The Cut, Copy and Delete options under the edit menu are disabled when no text in the editor has been selected.

Rename under file menu not working

Renamed the label from Rename to Rename project to help users understand what it would exactly rename and Made the project label editable after clicking on it.

Multiple UI bugs on the Home page

• Contents under Owner and Shared with fields are overlapping with smaller-sized screens.
• The gap between the Owner and Shared with fields is not non-uniform on larger screen sizes.
• Tile and list view icons overlap on the home page with smaller-sized screens.
• Broken UI on the Home page if the Project Title is too long

UX improvement with the Elements

Removed the Editor, Board, and List view with the Elements window

Redirect to login page after session expiry

Currently, after the session expiry, the dashboard is visible with an empty list of projects, and the user cannot create and load Projects. To fix that, users would now be redirected to the login page in such a scenario.

Pagination issue with List view

The last item in the list would be partially hidden

Unresponsive Open Project modal

When user clicks on the Open project under File in an editor window, a modal pops up, which is non-functional and unresponsive. The cross doesn't close the modal, there is no way to close this modal, and no projects are being displayed.

New Elements

The new Elements is a completely redesigned features of the older version. Some of the major changes included are -

• Arranging elements into different groups to help create organizational charts and hierarchies
• Deletion of Element groups and individual elements
• Ability to restore deleted elements or groups from the trash
• Redesign sidebar for elements
• Improve elements loader

Login UX improvement

• Users can now `return key` to perform the same operation as clicking on `Continue with email` or `Login`. As there is just one CTA on each screen.
• The `Continue with email` button was unresponsive with blank input instead of showing any error message
• Username and password data were being sent to the backend for validation even with a blank password instead of showing error before clicking on `Log in`

Irresponsive project trash

When there are multiple projects in the trash, it would load very slowly or even it times it would freeze the application. It was found that it was happening because all of the items are being loaded at once. Pagination with infinite scroll has been implemented to resolve this issue.

Removed dotted lines from file

Having the dotted lines in the folder makes sense to separate files but it wasn’t making much sense in files.

Issues with clone projects

Cloned projects are getting added to the bottom of the list. If the list is too long users wouldn't even know that the clone has been created or not. Along with that contents and other relevant details such as owner name, last modified are being missed out. It now gets added on top along with fixes for the other bugs

Code debt removal

• Deprecated DIrective, Components, Pipes, and Services
• Cross-browser CSS support

Editor Issues:

• Restructuring according to flow,(In return we can be ready to take on future bugs on shorter notice due to well-organized data flow)

Performance improvements

The increase in performance can be seen in the following - 

• Dashboard -  On Loading the Project list (dashboard performance)
• Opening existing projects / creating new projects
• Project exports
• Folders - Open Saved Writing
• Starred projects
• Adding templates
• Editor specific  scenarios: 
  • Increased number of folders
  • Nested folders
  • Sub - Nested Folders:  Add new folders and files and loader pop-up time has been decreased

Note: Application Performance is inversely varying with the  User Data - App Performance Decrease as User Data Increases

New files and folders placed towards the end of the list

Previously when creating new files and folder creation is was getting added non-uniformly at any places. Sometimes on the top, or in-between files or even towards the end. Now considering the best UX practices and to maintain the uniformity new items would be placed towards the end

Safari compatibility issue for right side bar

Here are some UI issue in the right side bar from the editor window which were occurring only in the Safari browser

• Formating tool icons above the sidebar were getting hidden

Editor UI bug in dark mode

When switching from day mode to night mode while in a folder view, the consecutive files were getting milaligned.

Font size mis-match

In Squibler the font size appears tiny despite having similar font style and size as compared to any other editor. This issue has been fixed and now the font sizes are comparable to any other writing product

Engineering Improvements

Removed irrelevant event trackers

There are too many segment events that are triggered falsely or inaccurately. It was contributing hugely to the amount of bad data being collected. Along with that being mindful of users privacy, kept only the ones that are absolute necessity for our Product’s sucess

Created UI/UX Testing checklist

Keeping design team in loop, the checklist has been made to improve the quality of deliverables in the coming days.

Highlighted project title

Previously when the project was selected, which provided a preview of the entire contents, there was no feedback provided to the users to help them understand whether it has been selected or not. Hence, upon selecting, it would now get highlighted.

New files/folders created towards the end

When creating a new file/folder, it was getting created intermittently both towards the end of the list and at the beginning or in between. Considering the best UX practices and maintaining consistency, we decided to place new items towards the end.

Removed phrase "Recent Project" from the dashboard

We used to see the phrase "Recent project" every time we loaded the dashboard. But it disappeared as soon as the page was fully loaded. 

Deprecated version history

The current version of version history is broken and deletes user data upon creating a new version. We have a new version of this feature coming up soon, and hence it will remain deprecated until then.

Production issue: KeyError: 'section_id'

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/srv/apps/projects_app/schema.py", line 335, in mutate if kwargs and kwargs['section_id']: KeyError: 'section_id'

Using this new structure users can create an unlimited hierarchy of files and folders to create a wide range of documents and organize their work in an efficient way.
