List of features

[heyhippari]

This is meant to be a somewhat exhaustive list of features to implement in order to consider this client "production-ready". It aims to match (but rework) the feature set of the current Jellyfin web client.

Feel free to claim a feature by opening an issue or a PR to discuss implementation, UI, UX, and usability.

When re-implementing a feature, please don't blindly copy what is done on Jellyfin web. We would like to take this opportunity to rethink everything, with a particular focus on accessibility, user experience and usability.

Note: claimed features are expected to be implemented (or at least started) by the person claiming them. Do not open a discussion for features you do not intend to work on.

I think @MrTimscampi is working on a metadata editor (#68)

[heyhippari]

So, there are two metadata editors.

The one in #68 is the single-item editor, in the item menu.

The one in the "metadata editor" section is the one with the folder list and such.

Obviously, there is overlap between the two. The form itself would likely be a shared component.

I can hand over the existing metadata editor PR, if wanted, so that you can work on setting something up @Dec-F. I have enough stuff to work on anyway, and too little time to do it 😋

[heyhippari]

I also have a lot of concerns about the UI/UX part of the folder-based metadata editor.

I know it's a useful feature and all, but I haven't been able to think of a design that makes sense, is fully responsive and with good UX.

It's probably the part that needs the most re-design work in everything we're bringing over, because the existing one is terrible in all aspects.

@MrTimscampi You can pass it on to me and I will do the rest. UI/UX issues Next I will open an issue to discuss the details

[heyhippari]

Cool, I closed the open one, it's all yours 😃

[heyhippari]

Closing this in favor of single issues. More will be created as we go along.
