By far the most requested feature This is a regression as we've had it before. Dan, do we need anything from the designers to schedule this? Very interesting for the power user. Do we think that this would be enough or would users then need diff, revert, etc? Let's interview some users to not just know the "As a ..., I would like to" but the "so that" in this case to find out motivation. This falls into the same camp as tabs and browser features. Would be a fun spike to explore relative difficulty. --tomasz _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l

Themes is a feature I wonder if we really need. But from a design point of view would be fun to implement. Instapaper does a good job of this. http://iphonesoft.fr/images/appstore/288545208/instapaper.jpg Watchlist, yes lets do it. We can take a similar approach as mobile web. Searching within article, this feature has been in the Wikipanion app on iOS for ages. They dont do that good of a job with it as far as the interaction design is concerned but the feature works and is helpful too sometimes when you're looking for a fine-grained search within an article. If we do work on it, we should definitely make it better than what Wikipanion is doing. I have some ideas.

Then i'd say rig a proof of concept for an hour or two and give it to the designers to play with. Up to Dan of course. --tomasz On Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 1:51 PM, Yuvi Panda <yuvipanda(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Yuvi, after today there's a potential I could spend a little time on this, unless you and your Android powerhouse crew are already on it. If you want me to take it, though, in which layout file would you recommend embedding the find control and where would you recommend wire up? I did a local version without creating the control using the existing wireup classes and it did highlighting just fine. The async API supported on newer Android OSes supports what is essentially a result count and the ability to scroll /forward/ in the Find list. It's sort of unclear to me how to scroll backward without perhaps JavaScript injection or viewport-freeze followed by position calculation and iterated scroll forward followed by viewport unfreeze (bleh). The legacy Find on older Android OSes is a little different, but no matter. Anyway, highlight and scroll forward is probably sufficient if there isn't an easier solution to scroll backward, I should think. Greg, to answer your question about natural language queries (which I really like!), I did a proof of concept on iOS ( https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/121562/) and I've posited it as a potential annual goal - I think Dan Garry will be weighing in on that for product direction for the apps. There were some performance things that would need to be worked out (see http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mobile-l/2014-April/006859.html for a little more context), but my gut says having a tappable finding glass icon (ideally on an embossed icon like most other search engines) to issue the fulltext Wikipedia article search in a fashion somewhat analogous to the web would probably be a way to avoid unnecessary load. -Adam On Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 1:55 PM, Tomasz Finc <tfinc(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Thanks Adam. It'll be great to play with this. --tomasz On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 12:28 PM, Adam Baso <abaso(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
