Captain's Log: 2013.08.12

• Vyki merged another pull request from markijbema requiring Rubocop gem
  • For consistent code style, according to Ruby Style Guide
  • Default cop settings
  • Spacing corrections
• Sam cc'd us on new thread on Discourse Meta: "Sometimes onebox hangs"
  • We'll need to address HTTP request issues (limits/timeouts) in our gem
• LA Ruby/Rails August meetup recap
  • We voted Jeff Casimir of JumpstartLab as MVP presenter
• Discussed possible topics for lightning talk at LA Women's Ruby/Rails Group August Monthly Bash next Thursday
  • Present onebox gem
  • Semantic versioning
  • Rubocop
  • Ruby's unique pessimistic operator
• JZ kicked herself for forgetting her laptop charger at home
• Captain Kurt was sleep-deprived so we ended our session early
• HOMEWORK:
  • Create 4 new oneboxes (2 each) based on Amazon and Example
  • Create new object that matches given URL to correct onebox class
    • This functionality is currently in lib/onebox/preview but should be separate since it'll get huge
    • Pair-program on this
    • TDD - commit spec first, then class
  • From last week - look at what parse_open_graph does

• Started creating oneboxes solo based on Amazon and Example
  • Vyki made Wikipedia onebox and succeeded
  • JZ tried to make Flickr onebox but failed
    • Flickr images are generated w/ Javascript, so we can't use our usual way of parsing an HTML response
    • Discourse uses parse_open_graph function to access Flickr content
    • Realized we lacked functionality to onebox sites that support Open Graph Protocol
    • Note to self: pick easier onebox to do first...
• We need to put off gem release until we can support Open Graph Protocol sites :(
• Painted the bikeshed (try refreshing the page repeatedly...)
• Attending LA Ruby/Rails August meetup tomorrow
• Got a text from Jen - we'll be presenting our onebox gem at LA Women's Ruby/Rails Group August Monthly Bash
• HOMEWORK:
  • Look at what parse_open_graph function does
  • Self-assigned: listen to latest Ruby Rogues #117 featuring mentors Sam Saffron and Robin Ward
  • Start creating oneboxes for sites that don't support OGP
  • Remove html body from Nokogiri CSS selectors in oneboxes - it's redundant. Use classes and ids instead of tags (if possible)
  • At some point, need to create a guide for making oneboxes
