Artstr Studio — TODO

Running list of deferred work. Detailed specs for the larger items live in docs/. Each entry notes scope and where the spec is (if any).

Adam's working list

  • Smart-object design imports. Add a way to import another design from Nostr or from a saved file into any current design as an editable layer / element, similar to Photoshop Smart Objects. Existing related pattern: the two-disc print layout already has per-disc "Load from file" and "Search Nostr" import flows for Disc 1 / Disc 2 images.
  • Layer groups and multi-select transforms. Add layer groups, group naming, selecting multiple layers / objects at once, and moving / scaling grouped or multi-selected objects together.
  • Slide deck PDF export. Add multi-slide PDF export for slide presentations, producing one page per slide.
  • Pixel editor layout expansion. Enlarge the pixel editor so it uses the empty outer gaps around the current editing area.
  • Color picker fixes. Fix the color picker, which currently does not work on pixel or vector tools.
  • Print / Save event ID wrapping. In the Print / Save panel, make sure the event id wraps instead of forcing the side panel into horizontal scrolling.
  • Copy / paste transform consistency. Audit Copy, Paste, Copy All, and cross-target paste so copied objects keep consistent position and scale relative to the other copied objects, without unexpected misalignment or rescaling.

QR code layer — remaining phases

Phase A shipped (the qr layer type: data, error-correction level, quiet zone, module / background colors, transparent background, renders on every surface + canvas export, JSON round-trip).

  • Phase B — convenience inserts. "Insert npub" and "Insert share link" buttons next to the QR data field. Insert npub fills the signed-in user's npub; Insert share link fills the design's naddr/nevent once it's been published. ~80 LoC.
  • Phase C — visual polish. Optional center logo overlay and rounded modules. Riskier: a logo eats into the error-correction budget, so it should nudge the ECC level up. Skippable.

Editor / tool UX

Small editor-usability improvements — no spec doc; scoped here.

All current items shipped (commit 1a517c9): on-canvas drag-resize handles for every layer type, text-box resize that never rescales the point size, and the expanded Text tool panel (font / size / color / alignment / bold / italic). Add new editor-UX improvements below as they come up.

Cleanup

  • Delete docs/TMDB_AUTOFILL_FEATURE.md. TMDB auto-fill was declined — the metadata fields work fine filled by hand, and the IMDb-style import has been removed.

Profile pages — deferred polish

(Core profile pages at /u/<npub> already shipped.)

  • Make author chips clickable in the community thread view (comments and reposts) — currently only feed-card and preview-meta author chips route to openProfilePage.
  • About-text clamp — long bios overflow the profile header; clamp to ~4 lines with a "Show more" toggle.
  • Profile-grid pagination — an author with 100+ designs renders them all at once; cap the initial render and add a "Show more" pager.

Edit-published-designs — deferred polish

(Core edit-in-place via NIP-33 replaceable semantics already shipped.)

  • Replace the remaining confirm() calls in the edit / publish flow with the styled in-app modal pattern, for consistency with the close-project and publish-confirm modals.
  • "Editing a previously-deleted design" warning — if the user opens Edit on a design they had tombstoned with a kind-5, warn that publishing will republish it.

Drafted-but-unbuilt features

Each has a full spec in docs/.

  • Private (encrypted) publishing — docs/PRIVATE_PUBLISHING_FEATURE.md. Publish any design encrypted, readable only by the author (Phase 1 "private to me"). The agreed next build; Phase 0 is a validation spike.
  • Artstr Stacks — docs/STACKS_FEATURE.md. Interactive fullscreen page/card stacks (HyperCard for Nostr) — the Slide Deck extended with layer actions and an interactive viewer. Queued after private publishing.
  • Pixel Art — docs/PIXEL_ART_FEATURE.md. An editable pixelart layer type (palette-indexed grid in JSON), a dedicated Pixel Editor view, PNG/GIF export, and a standalone casewrap-pixelart design.
  • Badges (NIP-58) — docs/BADGES_FEATURE.md. Award / display Nostr badges on profile pages.
  • Collections (NIP-51 sets) — docs/COLLECTIONS_FEATURE.md. Let users organize favorite community templates into named sets.
  • Zap-gated premium templates — docs/ZAP_GATED_TEMPLATES_FEATURE.md. Creators mark a template premium with a minimum-zap threshold.
  • Zaps via Nostr Wallet Connect — docs/ZAPS_NWC_FEATURE.md. In-app zapping without the wallet handoff. (Tracked LNURL-pay tips already ship; this would be the NWC path.)
