New screenshot of nearby places with icons

[tobias47n9e]

As soon as the icons are implemented the screenshot of the nearby-places screen should be replaced.

Hi @tobias47n9e ,

I just released a version of the app with the new icons, so it should be available within a couple of hours from now. :)

[tobias47n9e]

Thanks for the reminder. I will still wait until the list shows some more symbols and labels. Otherwise we might get a lot of complaints about the information missing.

[misaochan]

I honestly don't think the fix for that will be soon (unless someone else is willing to take it on ;)) - it's a pretty big change to switch from reading a CSV file to querying an API. I will submit it in my IEG renewal proposal at the end of the year, but I don't think I can fit it in before then without removing other tasks that have been planned for this IEG round.

But, it's certainly fine to leave the current screenshot there, it works well too. :)

We have revamped the whole nearby experience and IMO we can update the screenshots with the new ones.

@maskaravivek Is this somewhat stable and not about to change anytime soon? Or is there any change in progress which might affect the screen shots if I change them today?

[maskaravivek]

It should not change in near future. It would be great if you can update them. :)

@maskaravivek Just installed the production release from play store. It seems to be v2.8.5 and not v2.9. It seems v2.9 of the app hasn't been released yet (considering you were mentioning the revamp in v2.9 in your comment). So, I think the screen shots can't be updated now as they won't reflect the stable app available in play store.

Or am I missing something?

Note to self that #19 could be partially fixed when this gets fixed.

You are right. If you want, you can create a PR with the updated screenshots. The release should happen by next week. Your changes can be merged post that. :)

[sivaraam]

I think I'll just update them after the release happens to make sure the screen shot reflect reality and there isn't anything misleading :-)

[maskaravivek]

Sure. :)

[sivaraam]

I'll learn about the release myself when I get an update. If possible you could also ping me when the app gets released :-)

[sivaraam]

@maskaravivek From the releases page of the app it seems the v2.10.1 itself has been released but the play store version still seems to be stuck at v2.8.5.

Why is this?

[maskaravivek]

It has been released only for beta users. Next week it would be released for everyone. :)

[misaochan]

2.10.2 was just pushed to production on the play store today. :)

I got some screen shots for the new version to replace the old ones we see in the website. As the new release has some new features, should we highlight them too?

I think of highlighting the 'Explore' section and it's search. Is anyone thinking of anything else that should be highlighted in the website?

[misaochan]

Highlighting Explore would be fantastic. Achievements (accessed via the trophy icon next to your username in the nav drawer) could be worth a mention, too. Thanks @sivaraam . :)

Achievements (accessed via the trophy icon next to your username in the nav drawer) could be worth a mention, too.

I managed to get a screen shot of it but I faced an issue while doing so. See commons-app/apps-android-commons#2691.

I think we could highlight it after that issue is resolved?
