TODOs

Functionality

• show error message if speaker ID or event ID given in URL doesn’t exist

Future

• Separate route for each day in the overview: this will allow back-navigation when switching days and direct routing to a specific day

• hide days without events while searching/filtering

• define order of talks in TalksGrid: this will give stable sorting independent of order in the backend

• Provide an offline app using a manifest (see index.html - currently commented out as it will require to have a conference specific manifest.json and icons)

Performance:

• Use Vue virtual scroller for faster rendering

• Use computed properties in TimetablePage.vue

Out-of-scope

• Cookie warning - no longer used by DOAG

• link to account management when logged in - not used by any conference
