If you hit the search button twice and the model does not get updated, the spinning symbol in your search bar spins forever even though there is no pending request to the backend. Creates a lot of confusion.

As a user
I want to get a suggestion when a pile of decision cards runs out - issue the invoice or draw new cards?
Because I do not know when it is a good moment to review the invoice

As the maintainer of the site
I want to link to the imprint from the landing page
In order to comply with German law

• dark background for "amount fixed" button
• tooltips for "change amount" and "fix amount" buttons
• display table reference via sticky popup menu

Rerendering content-swapper runs a parallel queue - resulting in content jumping around

Error while processing route: decide.new delegate is not a function

If you visit www.rundfunk-mitbestimmen.de those routes that don't require authentication get a Access-Control-Allow-Origin error when requesting the backend.

As a user
I want to have a list with all my deselected broadcasts and an option to re-select some of them
Because I changed my mind and want to add them to my invoice again

As a contributor
I want to click on my invoice table and edit the amount
To say precisely how much money I want to give to certain broadcasts

As a user
I want to create new broadcasts
To add missing entries to the database

As a user
I want to have a 'Back' button on the decision page
To fix an error e.g. I pushed the button 'Next' but that was by accident

As a contributor
I want to see if I have any remaining budget that I have not spent so far
In order to spend all my budget completely

I want to have an account
To be credited for all the information that I publish on the app

Hey,

I checked in again and saw an Issue on the balances page it looks slightly off.
the pagination is too wide for smaller screens.

As a user, who visits the app for the very first time
I want to read that plausible user data has an effect on broadcasters and the public opinion
In order to understand the mechanism, how does influence arise?

During user tests people didn't get that the app distributes virtual money only. Also, it was not obvious that broadcasters may take decisions based on that user data. This connection should be stated explicitly on the landing page with a short paragraph.

Show a progress depending on the current step. Let's hope this is rewarding for people.

As a user
I want to be able to remove a broadcast from the list of broadcasts I want to pay for
Because I have changed my mind

The Rundfunkbeitrag is the minimal amount users have to distribute to shows or projects they like.

However if people like to, they should be allowed to donate more of their money than their Rundfunkbeitrag to Projects.

I propose:
Allow extra donations by users.

For this to work properly and efficiently I believe it is a good idea to have the feature of making what each show/project needs transparent, as mentioned in #15 .

Taking 1-5% of this money could be a business model. The relative amount donated could also be variable and chosen by the user.

As a user
I want to see how much money a broadcast has collected from all users on the platform
To know how popular the broadcast is

As a user
I want to search the list of broadcasts by title
To find my favourite shows

As a user
I want to load more broadcasts on the decision page
Because I am not tired and I want to make a decision on even more broadcasts

As a user
I want to have a small label "radio" or "TV" on the decision card
To know if the broadcast is a radio or a TV show

As the maintainer of the database
I want that users cannot create broadcasts without an acceptable description
To enforce a minimum quality of the data

Acceptance criteria:
Description must be

• present
• minimum number of characters (e.g. 40)
• no URLs (user should not leave the app, aka context switching)

During user tests I learned that users click on Save, not knowing they create new broadcasts in the database. "Oops" 😄

As a user
I want to release a previously fixed amount and let the application take care of it
Because I changed my mind and now I do not care anymore how much money a broadcast will receive

As a contributor
I want to filter by radio or TV
To get more relevant results with a coarse filter and without limiting my results too extensively

As a user
I want to get a random sample of broadcasts on the decision page, unless specified differently
In order to make an unbiased decision

As a broadcaster
I want to see a ratio how many people like my broadcast and how much money people give on average
In order to infer the popularity of my broadcast and how important it is for my target group

As a user
I want to have a translation for dynamic data, e.g. topics and formats
So not only the app but also the content is translated to my desire

We have this feature disabled for the moment. Either implement this or drop devise_token_auth entirely in favour of JWT authentication.

Feature: Show broadcasts with a teaser image
  As a user when deciding if I want to support a broadcast
  I want to see a picture for every broadcast
  Because e.g. I know the moderator and immediately recognize the show

Note
This includes also adding a image url input field to the broadcast form

As a user
I want to change the language
Because I might not be fluent in english

Sometimes an amount does not get saved exactly as I enter it, e.g. 5.0€ turns into 4.99€ even though there is still enough available money.

As a user
I want to know how many programs remain after applying the filters
To estimate if the list is reasonably sized for me

As a first-time user
I want to use the app without registration
So there is no barrier and I won't loose my interest

As a user, who visits the app for the first time
I want to browse through a set of examples, what you could do with 8 billions of euros
In order to get a feeling for this otherwise intangible number

Acceptance criteria:
Cycle through a list of paragraphs every 5 seconds: With 8 billion euros, you can do

• example 1
• example 2
• etc

This was repeatedly mentioned during user tests, people don't have a feeling how much 8 billions of euros actually is.

Every Project or show on TV has a certain amount of money they need to produce whatever they produce. If the money exceeds the required amount of money a lot the money cannot be put to good use in this project. More money for the show/project does not necessarily mean there will be more shows of that type or it will have a better quality.

I propose:
Each show/project can submit or has a required amount of money they need to produce the show./work on the project (Maybe this can be more distinguished as well, "amount required", "amount wanted", "maximum amount usable in a reasonable way")
As Users distribute their Rundfunkbeitrag they see how much money each show is already receiving (and whether the threshold is crossed).
This allows users to distribute their Rundfunkbeitrag not only paying attention to what they like but also to what each show needs. This allows the users to give their money to a show they like, which is not their favorite, because the favorite has already received enough money.

This opens up the possibility for users to influence the program a lot by not supplying shows or projects with the minimal required amount.

I want to have a button to change the language
In order to override the settings of my browser, e.g. if it's not my machine

As a user
I want to generate an invoice including the selected broadcasts
To say how much money should go to each item

As a user
I want to see on the landing page these numbers:

• registered users
• broadcasts
• selections
• global sum of all amounts

To be impressed and get a feeling how the total amount of monies compares to the broadcasting fees

As a user
I want to have the current table page number as parameter in the url on the balances page
To e.g. bookmark a specific page

As a journalist who wants to write about the platform
I probably have some questions that I want to be answered on the very first page, e.g.

• who is responsible for this?
• is it a survey?
• do they get money? do they want money?
• is it open source?
• who has access to user data?

Because I want the concept to be well laid out and then I might get in contact the maintainer of the website

As a user
I want to see one decision card at a time
Otherwise there is too much distraction

As a user
I want to click on Yes or No on a broadcast card
In order to say whether I want to pay for the broadcast or not

As a visitor
I want to see a short paragraph of text with general information on the landing page
To understand the purpose of the app
