Enhancing Backend Support and Task Handling | Glowing-Telegram Project - Episode 106
In this video, I dive into some crucial backend enhancements for our Rust APIs and React-Admin 'Glowing-Telegram' project. The key goal of today's session was to add support for follow-on tasks in the backend and refine how tasks are handled and displayed in the UI. Here's a summary of what we covered:
First, I tackled some redundant code issues and consolidated types within the backend API. This involved removing unnecessary definitions and optimizing our codebase for better efficiency. I also added serialization support to ensure our task requests are processed correctly.
We then moved onto improving the UI by adding indicators for follow-on tasks within the task drawer. This required some thoughtful adjustments to our React components, leveraging Material UI to create a more informative and streamlined UX. I experimented with badges, avatars, list items, and more to provide clear visual indicators for tasks that have additional steps.
During the session, I also reflected on the future deployment of the project, contemplating the benefits of moving to a server or serverless architecture for more robust processing. Additionally, I touched upon some potential enhancements, like utilizing FFMPEG for automated video overlaying to streamline our workflow further.
Lastly, we wrapped up by merging the changes, preparing the commit messages, and discussing plans to continue improving the project in future streams. I appreciated all of you who joined the stream, and I'm looking forward to the next session where we continue refining both the backend functions and the UI aspects of the 'Glowing-Telegram' project.
