I think it would be a good idea for the app to translate to Spanish, especially in the "Do I Qualify?" section.

We've been paying to host WICit on Amazon Web Services. Total expenditures to date have been approximately $300. We've made efforts to reduce monthly hosting costs to approximately $30, but we would love for a community partner to step-up and help us sustain the platform with $1,000 annually so that we can feel confident in scaling the application and adding additional features. If you're interested, please drop us a line at hello [at] codeforsacramento [dot] org. Or comment below.

Map markers are not drawn. This is due to a known issue: tombatossals/angular-leaflet-directive#381.

Solution: See link above. Fork angular-leaflet-directive and issue PR.

Most noticeable on Retina devices.

javascripts/controllers/approved-items.js is missing

Right now, WICIT is drawing from dummy sample data. The app should be getting data from the CDPH Open Data API. The API is not available to the public until 8/8, but we're working on getting access to it in the meantime.

Hi! I'm Phil from OpenOakland.

Why?

• Text is often easier to read than a map (map illiteracy is a thing)
• Text is more accessible for the visually impaired.
• Easier to deal with long lists (simple vertical scrolling).
• Easy to enhance results (like loading supplemental data (store hours) or getting public transit directions).

Examples: Yelp! search results

public/image/loader.gif is missing

The app should only call the API if the new bounding box on the map does not contain the previous bounding box, e.g. if the user zooms in, but doesn't 'pan' the map, we don't need to call the API.

Especially on mobile, location approval requests get really annoying. We should store the user's location in a session, and use the center button (see #15) to let the user refresh their location.

See this post.

There are currently 2 folders containing data related to what foods are approved for WIC purchase:

1. "Food Data" [1]
2. "food_data" [2]

Proposing the following:

1. Delete [1] since it is the older of the two folders, this will minimize confusion and redundancy
2. Update the files in [2] with the most recent PDFs available from the CDPH website
3. Keeping the CDPH files named the way they come from the CDPH website, they are terribly named and long, but this will allow us to update the foods PDFs without having to re-work the naming of the files.

I did a full dump of the PDFs as of 2015-03-22 using a Chrome download extension and will submit a pull request with the three proposals, lets discuss and modify as necessary. Thanks

Once we get the Microsoft database dumps of the food lists we might not need these PDFs at all.

WICit is down. It's returning an "Unable to load nearby locations" error. I think that the API connection broke when they launched the new https://chhs.data.ca.gov/. They mentioned something about the portal being "federated, " but not sure what that means. Also, I don't even see the same JSON API icon/link on the new portal that was on the CDPH portal.

A search page is needed to allow users to search for WIC approved foods. The server-side is in place (working on a limited data set for now), and available via a GET request to /foods, which returns a JSON array of 'food' objects.

From CHHS:

Thank you for developing an API to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Open Data Portal. This Portal has been merged into the California Health and Human Services (CHHS) Open Data Portal, which contains all the data previously on the CDPH Open Data Portal, plus other Departments under CHHS such as Medi-Cal and Social Services. You can find the new locations for the datasets by going to the CDPH Open Data pages on Socrata, clicking on the “About” tab, and copying the “CHHS URL” field. Regards, --The CDPH Open Data Team

I am designing code to notify us when the vendor location data set is updated, however there is no ETA.

For the time being, there is an updated version (2015-05-27) located at the link below. Can someone please help me locate where/how this data is integrated into the application so in the future I can simply incorporate it as part of my fork and submit a pull request? Thank You

A button for users to be able to recenter the map on their location.

WICIT needs a logo! Read up on WIC to get some inspiration, and then come up with something rad!

Zooming map causes map to go full screen, hiding header and nav.

Found using: Safari on iOS.

@natebass was able to port this from node/express to github pages. The only problem that we have found is that location services will not work because we have not figured out how to deploy github pages site with custom domain & HTTPS.

Location Services requires HTTPS.

Can you figure out how to deploy a site to github pages, with a custom domain AND HTTPS?

Setup Google Analytics account for C4S and add script to WICit.

Right now, WICIT gets its map tiles from the MapQuest API. This is great, because it's (basically) free, but the map is kinda ugly. Can we find a nicer looking alternative?

It would be rad to map WIC offices as well as vendors. Not sure where we can find data on this, but it might work to just use data from a CSV or something and set up a server side route to retrieve it, since there's probably a fairly small number of these.

Paul here with Code for Osage. This looks awesome and I am trying to fork this for a local project, as it is super perfect for what we are working on. Unfortunately, I'm running into some errors because it seems .env.dist and package.json are not included on master branch, and they appear outdated on production branch. Any chance I can grab a copy of the latest version of them?

I've been in touch with the WIC team and they informed me they are testing a mobile app for WIC which looks pretty cool.. It's great to see that they are owning the development.

Let's all take a look and see what feedback we have that can be provided to them and/or how we might be able to support or collaborate with them! The link is below!!

It looks like CHHS has changed the data endpoint for the data we are pulling. This needs to be updated.

New endpoint is on CKAN here:

WIC is super specific about what it covers, their site has PDFs full of approved foods. It would be great to get that data in a usable format and provide a search utility for WIC users to be able to see if foods qualify before they go to the store. Ideally, they'd be able to scan UPCs in the store to see if that food qualifies, but that may be overly ambitious...

Something broke, locations are no longer displaying on findwic.com

Sorry for opening a bummer issue and not providing a solution to fix it, but yeah.. just putting it out there =\ Can anyone help?

Checkout: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-concat and https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-uglify.

It would be really cool to get some testing working in WICIT. Check out the Angular.js tutorial for a nice intro to unit testing with Karma and end-to-end testing with Protractor.

It would be a awesome if users didn't need to leave WICit to get directions. Right now, switching to Google Maps is probably the only way to a accomplish this, as it looks like Mapbox's directions API is limited to payed accounts.
