Goal

Stop loading screens from bottlenecking users from using fishtank. This impacts traffic and revenue. It is urgent and not a Minds stack issue, but tech support for Fishtank stack.

What needs to be done

Here's the issue:

  • At a certain point users are getting stuck on the loading screen and sockets can't connect
  • Fixes after refreshing randomly
  • Only happens on prod, not staging
  • We noticed a lot of 401s, user's JWT expiring
  • Are we refreshing tokens or anything in the OIDC process that could cause any weirdness?
  • Last season mark fixed a very similar seeming issue described here

signal-2024-06-27-172002

Acceptance Criteria

  • When the fishtank users and team stop reporting loading screens

tag:gitlab.com,2024-06-14:3431447771 Bill Ottman closed issue #3301: Background audio is paused when app is minimized at Minds / Minds 2024-06-14T14:54:28Z ottman Bill Ottman

Summary

When I have background audio from another app playing (e.g. a podcast, a YouTube video), and I'm using the Minds app, when I minimize / close the Minds app, the background audio gets paused.

Steps to reproduce

  • Begin playing audio in an app that's not Minds (e.g. a podcast)
  • Launch the Minds app
  • Scroll past a muted video
  • Minimize the app

Platform information

iPhone 12 Mini, latest Test Flight build

What is the current bug behavior?

  • The background audio (e.g. a podcast) is paused

What is the expected correct behavior?

  • The background audio is not changed

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

(Paste any relevant logs - please use code blocks (```) to format console output, logs, and code as it's very hard to read otherwise.)

Goal

Achieve 1-1 audio calls, DMs & Group chat with Huddle01's divergent network.

  • Individual users on minds can audio call each other.
  • Users can form groups to communicate with each other.
  • Users can chat with each other via DMs.

White Paper of Divergent Network: Docs Link

What needs to be done

Need to Use Divergent client SDK to integrate 1-1 audio calls, E2E DMs & Group messages.

Guide to set up a local node for Divergent: Doc Link

We have three SDKs for divergent which are as follows:

  1. divergent-client: It is used to integrate both calling and messaging. It is required to use the other two SDKs.

  2. divergent-av: Specifically used to add peer-to-peer audio calls to the dApp.

  3. divergent-messenger: Used to add messaging features of the divergent network.

Audio cannot be heard when playing videos on Minds mobile app. Our goal is to fix this problem so members can hear the audio on the videos they are trying to play.

I am using the new iPhone13. I turned my phone off and back on again, attempting a quick fix, but that did not work.
