2024-07-24 - Distriator - shipped critical improvements today
Hello Hive Community Members,
Welcome to daily updates from @sagarkothari88 - a Hive Witness & mobile-app-developer. I daily invest my time with my skillset in #Hive & I daily hive-power-up.
Project: Distriator
Priority Improvements
- @starkerz suggested following changes to be addressed ASAP.
- Improvement 1: Allow only camera based uploads on mobile
- Improvement 2: Reduced image size & faster image upload
- Improvement 3: Automated business reviews
- Improvement 4: Add a new business suggested by @starkerz
- Based on the given priority, I had to switch to above tasks.
Improvement 1: Allow only camera based uploads on mobile
- We have stopped support for Photo gallery based image uploads because user may choose old photos for review.
- Distriator, now only allows camera based photo uploads.
Improvement 2: Reduced Image Size & Faster uploads
- Due to the better camera quality on most phones, we mostly end up uploading images higher than 3 MB to 4 MB.
- As you can see in the screenshot above, uploaded image is having size over 3000px & size above 2.5 MB.
- Expected image should be as small as 600px because it is only meant for a review-post.
- After applying necessary fixes, we did a test review.
- As you can see in the test review-post, image is actually resized & uploaded.
- After adding this improvement, we deployed it to production & did one more round of testing.
Improvement 3: Automated Business Reviews
- Business reviews should be autopopulated.
- For some reason, it stopped working & it used to work.
- After finding the root cause, we fixed issue & did a test-review.
- That test review showed up on the business reviews.
- It indicated that the bug is fixed, so we published the changes to production.
Improvement 4: Adding a new business
- @starkerz suggested to add a new business
- Based on request, with minimal details available, I added a business.
- Deployed changes to production.

Hello @sagarkothari88. Thanks so much for including my Alien Art Hive post here in your summary of Hive members supported. I appreciate it. Also, I see that when a Hive member recommends changes that could benefit the mobile app you're working on, you waste no time in addressing the issue. That's a dedicated developer who wants to see Hive as a whole thrive.
In your post above, since you address images, I was wondering whether the problem with the one in your post was on my end as I couldn't view it:
Thanks so much for sharing your work progress. Take care.
