Here goes my development logs and personal notes

Personal notes

   github branch status
   "login"        -> consisting of email verification+oAuth    [Pull Request SENT]
   "model-viewer" -> consisting of changes in the model viewer [depends on what else needs to be done]
   "feedback"     -> feedback system implementation            [100% done, PR not sent, front-end pending]
   "edit info"    -> edit/rename/delete model                  [50% done]
   "model-upload" -> uploading features                        [not yet started]    

BONDING PERIOD

• Playing around with meteor framework
• Getting to know how models are being viewed
• Updated the production ready plan
• Talking to Deepak, discussing about work flow
• Finding resources that would help me develop back-end and go through my milestones
• Explored three.js. Made a few alterations to the code, and saw the effects on the view. I am particularly
  unhappy the way the models are being viewed. Lacks clarity, color etc.
• Updated production ready plan after a few words with Sean. Deploying the app as soon as possible
  shall be a top priority.

CODING PERIOD

Week 1

May 25

• I think I should shift the login portion to the end (after deployment). Otherwise I'll have to do the settings
  twice unnecessarily.
• I'll work on the model-viewer page this week. Need to talk to Deepak about the front-end, so that we are
  finished with it completely this week.

• Getting random colors on models. Confused :/. How to handle coloring (definite colors on models).
• Smoother mouse rotation of camera [DONE] and Removed grids and axes [looks more classy]
• Had some discussions, I'll get back to login now, from tomorrow then

May 26

• made a gmail ID by the name ogv.mailer[at]gmail.com. I'll use this Email ID to configure mailgun,and
  hand over the password to the BRL-CAD team.
• Implemented Email Verification of registered user. Forgot Password working fine. Changed Email templates
  
• omniAuth remains. Basic issue would be to verify 3rd party login. Need for some searching
  (nothing impressive seen yet).
  
• Maybe I know what to do.

May27 - May 29

• I just went to my cousin's place for a hangout.
• Tech-fest in college, loads of meetings.
• Back to OGV from tomorrow

May 30

• In my searching for the solution I found a repo that has implemented github login, and is working fine there.
  I will be taking some reference from there for sure.
• Made a sample app and added user accounts in it. Added omniAuth successfully in the sample app.
• Still confused. It's the only part left in login. I'll need to ask about it from someone.

May 31

• Its early in the morning. And I found the bug, residing in router.js -_-.
• omniAuth will be finished by tonight. I am relaxed.
• Login system of OGV is production ready.
• User will be removed from DB, if he does not verifies his/her email within x hours.

   Login
   Registering and email verification working fine (done via mailgun)
   Forgot password mails are going as well
   omniAuth added: google and github (facebook after deployment)
   User entry from DB will be deleted if email is not verified within x hours

   Some points to take note of regarding oAuth:
   1. Will require setup of configuration from your side
   2. Therefore, you won't be able to test on localhost until and unless you configure googe/facebook/github.
   3. I'll do the configurations after deployment
   4. The back-end part for omniAuth is complete. (you can ask for a video as well :D)

Week 2

June 1

• Lazy
• Larning three.js online editing model techniques and found this great resource. Want to make something like this for the viewer.
  Loads of studying.

June 2

• Updated proposal both on melange and brlcad-wiki. Was somewhat pending (now fully complete).
• Added buttons to change view to wireframe, and to add grid/axes to renderer. backend part only. Button GUI is temporary.

June 3

• Asked for help regarding model viewing, especially colors in object model.
• Might take some time to respond.
• Implemented feedback system via formspree.io. Unable to add notification for feedback completion.

June 4

• Mainly tech fest work
• Added link to edit model in the my-models page
• tried adding the delete button for a model. I think code is right, why is it not working is the issue. confused :/

June 5

• Studying code base, g-obj conversion and other technical stuff
• Read. Read. Read. The resources provided by Inder and other resources as well.
• Implemented deleting model. Unable to delete thumbnail associated with it.

June 6

• Completed delete model. Thumbnail not getting deleted.
• Need to understand thumbnail-model architecture.
• More searching about g-obj and mged for capturing color attributes.

June 7

• Problem: Unable to remove thumbnail, using the command -> ThumbFiles.remove({gFile: this._id});
• Will be able to update thumbnail once I figure out to make the command work.
• No reply on mailing list regarding colors in models.
• Decided to drop the idea of having a separate modal for editing information. User will land up on the description page
  and change things there itself.
