Adding calls by username

Another 2 weeks sprint down. The first announcement, the blog post/sprint reports will now be published on Sundays. This simply works better with my schedule. Tuesdays are rather busy days in my day job. All else is on track.

✅ Add the possibility to call someone by username

You can finally call other users in the same organizations by username. This one took me longer than expected. Sockets and the asynchronous characteristics of event-based communication has its challenges. Especially during automated testing. Challenges are there to be completed and so was this one.

✅ Only people within the same organization should be able to call one another, currently all can.

Calls between users are now possible if they are in the same organization. To further restrict cold calling, users must be in the same organization to call each other.

Although I’ve only committed to two goals, they turned out to have quite the implication. Over 8 years in the business and still bad at estimations. I turned down my Twitter activity since my day job got a bit stressful, loved the work though.

For the next sprint I want the following features:

👉 Add username suggestions for calls.
👉 When calling someone and aborting the call the called user’s incoming call should also abort.
👉 When calling someone who can not receive calls right now, the calling user should be notified to call later.
👉 Add Cookie Policy during signup.

Without further a due, onto a new coffee ☕️ and coding.

Till next time ✌️
Yours truly, Dodo
