| 1 | +# Recommendations for Additional Work |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Based on the open issues in this repository, here are some recommended improvements that could be implemented: |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## High Priority Issues |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### Issue #157: Example app functionality issues |
| 8 | +- The example project toggles don't work in simulator |
| 9 | +- Zooming in/out doesn't function properly |
| 10 | +- Needs investigation and fixes to ensure examples work correctly |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +### Issue #156: visionOS Support |
| 13 | +- `tracks(withMediaType:)` is unavailable in visionOS |
| 14 | +- Consider adding conditional compilation for visionOS platform |
| 15 | +- Alternative: Use newer AVFoundation APIs that work across platforms |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### Issue #148: ✅ COMPLETED - Updated README examples |
| 18 | +- Fixed outdated API usage in README examples |
| 19 | +- Changed `progressSamples` to `highlightedSamples` |
| 20 | +- Changed `zoomStartSamples`/`zoomEndSamples` to `zoomSamples` range |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Medium Priority Enhancements |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### Issue #146: Separate rendering from display |
| 25 | +- Consider architectural changes to separate rendering logic from UI |
| 26 | +- Could improve performance and enable server-side rendering |
| 27 | +- Reference competitor: DSWaveformImage library |
| 28 | +- Would enable gradient and "lo-fi" bar rendering styles |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### Issue #139: View and data provider separation |
| 31 | +- Define protocol for data sources beyond AVAsset |
| 32 | +- Remove AVFoundation dependency from core view logic |
| 33 | +- Enable custom data sources (e.g., generated sine waves, network streams) |
| 34 | +- Substantial architectural change but would improve flexibility |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### Issue #130: Audio playback integration examples |
| 37 | +- Currently blocked on Issue #139 |
| 38 | +- Need clear examples of connecting waveform progress to audio playback |
| 39 | +- Would greatly improve developer experience |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Lower Priority Issues |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +### Issue #153: Custom wave styling |
| 44 | +- User wants custom waveform shapes/styles |
| 45 | +- Could be addressed as part of the rendering separation work |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Issue #104: Prevent scrolling past audio end |
| 48 | +- Add option to keep waveform end at right edge when zoomed |
| 49 | +- Relatively simple UX improvement |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +### Issue #96: Consider UIScrollView subclassing |
| 52 | +- Would add scroll-past-ends, bouncing, acceleration |
| 53 | +- API non-breaking change that adds many gesture features |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### Issue #93: Zoom crash protection |
| 56 | +- Add maximum zoom limits to prevent crashes |
| 57 | +- Simple safety feature with hardcoded limits |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### Issue #2: Incremental rendering |
| 60 | +- Update view progressively for large files instead of all-at-once |
| 61 | +- Performance improvement for large audio files |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## Implementation Priority Recommendations |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +1. **Fix Example App (Issue #157)** - Critical for developer onboarding |
| 66 | +2. **Add visionOS Support (Issue #156)** - Platform compatibility |
| 67 | +3. **Audio Integration Examples (Issue #130)** - After Issue #139 resolution |
| 68 | +4. **Zoom Safety (Issue #93)** - Simple safety improvement |
| 69 | +5. **Scroll Behavior (Issue #104)** - UX improvement |
| 70 | +6. **Architectural Refactoring (Issues #139, #146)** - Long-term improvements |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +The GitHub Actions setup and test improvements completed in this PR provide a solid foundation for implementing these enhancements with confidence. |
