2014-02-14

 * Yesterday
 * Weekly team meeting
 * Set up the "Points" custom field in phabricator
 * Made good progress on #146 (blurry thumbnail placeholder). I now have the blurry thumbnail appearing and animating into focus on browsers that can do so. Left to do: progress bar and tests.

 * Wrote #211 (detailed network performance on all API calls)

2014-02-13

 * Yesterday
 * Reviewed and accepted remaining changesets on #155 (preload next and prev image)
 * Fixed the double image loading issue #207, pending review
 * Fixed the mmv.performance missing dependency, pending review
 * Started working on #146 (show blurred thumbnail + progress bar while loading)
 * Spoke to Evan Priestley from Phabricator about replacing Mingle with Phabricator, he pointed me to their beta board page. It seems like the only missing element is the ability to sum story points, which I've filed. We'll probably need to implement it ourselves (shouldn't be hard).


 * Today
 * Weekly team meeting
 * Review everything in the queue
 * Finish #146
