Shortlist of important backlogged backend/API issues

[perpetuatingcuriosity]

Essentials:
Handling errors in photo upload process

• If there’s an error uploading a photo, set a “complete” error flag for the user’s item #163: If there’s an error uploading a photo, set a complete error flag
• API does not flag list item with an error if an upload request fails #173: API does not flag list item with an error if an upload request fails

Category Selection + Item Suggestion

• still get list item suggestions from unchecked categories #232: Still get item suggestions from unchecked categories
• Can't add new items to my List #290: “Can’t add new items to my list”, includes this issue: item suggestions should not include items you have previously answered

App/User Data

• Create endpoint to get a user’s profile including stats about their contributions #274: User profile endpoint w/ user upload total
  (We are currently using a hacky way of tracking user uploads. This would be much more efficient.)
• We should have a way to check the current app version so we can ask the user to upgrade #299: Endpoint that returns The List app info including current android app version

Nice-to-haves:
#230 Don’t randomize category returns (until we convert categories to “tags”)
#140 Support Google login (also eventually Facebook, Twitter, Persona)

Are any of these for v5?

I think they’re all ongoing issues that need to be solved but have been pushed back because other things were more pressing. I don’t know that they were set for a particular milestone.

Some of them are potential app crashers like #163, #173.

So far #232 is the one that most obviously disrupts the user experience.
