Mentorship-android: Blogs and Feed Frame In App

[vibhuti019]

We can add a blog(tech blog) or news feed(About the organization) frame in our app.
It will aware the users about the latest trends in technology and the latest events being held by the organization.

@vibhuti019 i think for this, there is a portal where any new user/anyone can get the latest news about the organisation :)

[vibhuti019]

I wish to add this in the mentorship app.
It will contain some tech blogs also which will surely be guide for all of them.

It will need a big amount of both on the frontend & backend. For newsfeed to work, we'd need:
– let users publish post (how a post would uploaded & stored in a DB)
– let users add others as friends, so we can somehow customize the newsfeed
– flagging mechanism to take down inappropriate content fast (+ making some users moderators)
– lots of other stuff

In general, what I'm saying is this is a very complex feature and before implementing it, we need a technical document describing how it will work.

I suggest that, as of now, we can simply put some useful links to "blogs" in the AboutFragment.

[robotjellyzone]

oh my goodness !! @bartekpacia you have added so many labels , can you tell me more about this epic label ?

[bartekpacia]

I'm also surprised by the number of available labels, so I decided to add every that applies here.

I thought that "Epic" means something very hard which requires a lot of planning, am I right? If I did something incorrectly, could you remove the "wrong" labels?

[robotjellyzone]

ok, i think , its good to remove epic and backend issue as these are according to me somewhat misleading :)

[vibhuti019]

I have did some work on technical documentation I have not included the add friend part but I have worked on uploading post , flagging (inappropriate) and likes for the post.

[bartekpacia]

Okay. In such a case I think you should create a new PR in which you'll describe your architectural solution for this feature, add links to the docs etc.

@vj-codes hey, is this new feature approved? I'm not asking because I want to work on it, I was just curious...

[vj-codes]

@anna4j Its just an idea, won't be implemented in version-1 atleast also will need huge changes. And in my opinion its a bit off topic/theme of mentorship system.

[isabelcosta]

@vj-codes correct, this is out of scope, its a nice idea, but the app still has to mature and be used before we jump into this. I will close it for now :) Thank you both @anna4j and @vj-codes for keeping this repo up to date 🙌
