Description

Integrate the apple watch into the iOS App.

The prototype is complete. Some things to solve before scheduling:

  • can we do a better search? prefix search is very limiting. (At the hackathon was a natural language search demo, maybe that is good). It would be good to be able to “ask a question” instead of searching for text like google.
  • After some time with the prototype, the amount of text still seems too short to get a good explanation. I find myself sending to device 50% of the time. Lets try longer (200+ characters)

First pass at integrating with the Apple watch. Some ideas to prototype:

  • Show screen with option to ”Search”
    • Show search results list of possible matches with title and wikidata description and snippet
    • Read later -> Saved pages
    • Open on device -> Handoff
    • Save searches to recent searches

Other things to do, but not in MVP:

  • “Nearby”: list nearby items (gps) with title and distance
  • “Nearby” glance

Agree with @KLans_WMF, but understand that we might learn a lot by hacking something together as a way to learn what's possible on Apple Watch.

Just waiting on wires.

@Vibhabamba moved to design questions to signify it isn’t ready to start.

Also, FYI - this will probably not be started until end of this week or early next week - so no rush.

Need to update this since we basically built it at the hackathon. I think we should just ship it

Design Notes for any further iteration:

  1. Currently buttons jump which is distracting. needs to be fixed.
  2. Double check if we really need the 'Open on phone' button

We are trying to help all open tasks listed under "Work continues after Lyon" at the Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 workboard finding their best way forward. * If you are participating in Wikimania, consider adding the #Wikimania-Hackathon-2015 project to get this task in that loop, which is about to start. * If you think this project could welcome help from a dedicated Google Summer of Code or Outreachy intern, or from an Individual Engagement Grant, add the Possible-Tech-Projects project. * If you would like to receive some other type of support (organizing a Tech Talk, establishing contacts with existing developer teams in Wikimedia or elsewhere, travel sponsorship for a related activity... you name it), please create a subtask explaining your request and associate it with #Engineering-Community (or you can start by commenting here if you prefer). * Keeping the description, priority and assigned fields up to date always helps. :) For some context about this message, see T101151: Evaluate which projects showcased at the Wikimedia Hackathon should be supported further. It is the last communication related to Wikimedia-Hackathon-2015 that we will post here.

Is anybody thinking of converting this task in a quarterly goal, or are there any plans to actually ship it some day? Assigning a priority to this task would be welcome too.

Not a quarterly priority for Q2 of 15-16. Tagged with hackathon, as this seems like an ideal project to push forward in that venue.

@Fjalapeno: Do you plan to work on this at the Hackathon (as this is assigned to you)?

The prototype is complete.

Where is the code?

This task has been assigned to the same task owner for more than two years. Resetting task assignee due to inactivity, to decrease task cookie-licking and to get a slightly more realistic overview of plans. Please feel free to assign this task to yourself again if you still realistically work or plan to work on this task - it would be welcome!

(For the records, two emails were sent to assignee addresses before resetting assignees. See T228575 for more info and for potential feedback. Thanks!)
