Special: Homepage features and overall quality is substandard

Before you start

• Have you updated FluentHub? You might be using an old version.
• Have you checked if a similar issue has already been reported?

What version of Windows is this issue present?

Windows 11

What version/architecture of FluentHub are you on?

0.8.60.0 | X64 | RELEASE

Description

when i go to home, there's nothing on it, except the welcome sidebar and the title 'Dashboard'
the sidebar doesn't work, as i can't open anything from there

Assets

the homepage on web github

FluentHub's homepage

FluentHub's homepage after 10 refreshes (demonstrates repositories repeating)

I use C# GitHub API (wrapper of github graphql api & REST api) to retrieve every information. If you don't have any followings and repositories you watch there's nothing to show. Sadly, other information such as Explore and Latest changes cannot be shown because not disclosed as api.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll add text on the center to tell user there's nothing to show.
The next store release might be a month later, sorry for being inactive because I have study stuff.

[pdimu]

the dingus is, that the other problem is the sidebar: not showing all the repos as seen on web (which are there for contributing, creating issues, etc.), just those that are yours; and also the reload dingus: why does it duplicate the repos???

[pdimu]

oh, and the repos from the sidebar don't open: just click and nothing

[pdimu]

but the links from the notifications work. and the markdown support may be missing a lil bit, plus: can't send comments (seen when trying it right now
therefore, the system has a little bit so much bugs

[0x5bfa]

why does it duplicate the repos???

I can repro, will fix. Thanks!

the repos from the sidebar don't open

This is already supported in the latest branch but not released. Will be released soon!

markdown support may be missing a lil bit

Yeah I was using Web-based view but it was too heavy to load many comments.
I'm seeking another solution to this. Maybe Markdig or something I will use.

oh, i see. no problem, i have to study too 😅

Thank you!

[pdimu]

I'll look for sth like m-down but for WinUI. I don't really know if, but i think you can use the normal text editing from the WinUI 3 gallery and try to find a converter or sth so on the web it'll be m-down. It's time to google!

[0x5bfa]

Normal editor should work for the time being but I wanna look for more featureful editor(maybe make by myself)

[pdimu]

I have an idea for the main page - maybe some 'last actions' (like commits, issues, etc) for the Dashboard. In that way, it wouldn't be empty

Oh, wait I missed the thing last done aren't included in api. But it should. If I'm wrong again tell me

[pdimu]

But it should

Then how does the GitHub App retrieves the last things u done?

[pdimu]

Then how does the GitHub App retrieves the last things u done?

Ok, ok, even if the app itself it's originally from GitHub, BUT WHY THERE'S NOTHING FOR THE DEVS

[pdimu]

I'll comment later here about all the infunctionalities in FluentHub
There are too much of them sincerely

[pdimu]

not changed info at notifications, maybe from GitHub api not asked about updates on notifications about repos

ok, this was already here, but it's not relevant

disabled >:)

couldn't get the language from repos ig

maybe searching for more specific icons? this isn't sth from github, but it'd be fancy if we could have this (a chrome extension already did this)

more disabled >:)

THIS IS NOT LATEST VERSION

already discussed 'bout this 😒

nope, neither file for releases >:)

that's what i noticed as for now, if i find more, i'll post them here >:)

[0x5bfa]

Appreciate them. I really wanna work on because I got about 1k for my app… but time won’t allow me to develop. I will use for the further improvements. You can keep posting here whatever you notice I don’t mind!

[0x5bfa]

Even if you keep posting your thoughts here, I don't mind and I appreciate.

[pdimu]

ok... i'll see more. and i might do a push few months later to see what i can fix (if i'd fix). Bye!

[pdimu]

this is fluenthub.png file from the repo

and readme is not shown in the repo (aka this:

)

BUT we can see the code of the readme

[pdimu]

o, ye, and the details of the issue

[pdimu]

disabled >:3

and the notifications need this

[pdimu]

i found out this about the material icons for github:

Replace GitHub's default icons with icons from Visual Studio Code's Material Icon Theme icons. Use the same icons on your code editor and on github.com, and quickly identify file types, configuration files and project scaffolding at a glance.

[pdimu]

the pull request is really poor af, here's the github one vs the fluenthub version:

Actually those are what I have tried once before.
I ended up for WebView2. I will use it until new parser gets ready in WCT 8.0.

so this is solved but waiting for an update?

[0x5bfa]

Not yet. I haven't push the update into the main branch yet.

[pdimu]

Not yet. I haven't push the update into the main branch yet.

Ok, I think

[pdimu]

Didn't I have that? Colored empty box I've added to some pages.

maybe i didn't see it. btw i'm not at the business laptop now so i can't see this asap. also, i was telling about the power to make even more organisation

no, it's not at notifications. can you specify what pages exactly?

[pdimu]

these don't work

and the comments from this 56-comments-issue stopped at:

ChatGPT 3.5 answer about 4 minutes ago:

To include Markdown rendering in a WinUI 3 application, you'll need to use a third-party library or develop your own Markdown renderer. As of my last update in January 2022, WinUI 3 itself does not natively support Markdown rendering. However, you can integrate existing libraries into your WinUI 3 project to achieve this functionality.
Here's a general approach:

1. Choose a Markdown library: Look for a Markdown library that supports rendering Markdown content into your WinUI 3 application. Popular options include Markdig, MarkdownSharp, and CommonMark. Make sure the library you choose is compatible with .NET Core or .NET 5/6, which are commonly used with WinUI 3.

and text is... ye

[0x5bfa]

no, it's not at notifications. can you specify what pages exactly?

PRs, Issues, Discussion, Projects if iirc.

Nah I don't think so, at least for issues

[pdimu]

didn't see them. actually, i made screenshot of the lack of organization on notifications, issues, pull requests. there was a searchbar, but disabled

[Lamparter]

I've raised this point before but what's the issue with using MarkdownTextBlock temporarily until a suitable MD library can be implemented? It doesn't support GitHub-flavoured markdown as far as I know but has much higher performance than WebView2.

[0x5bfa]

Selecting what you wanna select freely is not supported. It's can be done for just a block. And selecting all is not too.

[pdimu]

just rewrite das code ig, idk if it's sth more markdown than textblock or webview. let's submit a issue on the winui 3 repo :))

[pdimu]

Hi, @0x5bfa , do you have any updates? I would like to know if you've done anything since the last comment.

[0x5bfa]

No I basically do general updates like I already have in the PRs. But no progress.

And I’m a full time contributor of https://github.com/files-community/Files so I’m hardly binding a time to work on here.

I can code review tho.

[rdbende]

@pdimu do you realize, that this is not the most constructive way to motivate developers? Even if they didn't care about this project at all, your style doesn't help them to make progress. Maybe offering help would be more appropriate.

And btw, a 3 months old issue is absolutely fine, especially if it's this huge.

Yes, but I don't know how to use the GitHub api

Thanks, I was using fluenthub everyday to spot out the issues, but I left it over, because I was tired, so I focused on other things, making just a list of these problems

Thanks for your interest tho

[pdimu]

@0x5bfa @Lamparter
Any fixes until now?

[Lamparter]

The things you have pointed out here are not "bugs"; just unimplemented features. As for implementing them, we're both not so active as we were before as I am working on Rebound and @0x5bfa is working on Files.
