Feedback prioritized

Having reviewed the feedback and the current list of development work, I've simplified the recent feedback into three groups and shuffled my development priorities (bottom):

Improve the results
  1. Inline advice on removing the trunk (0/1) when appropriate ("Omit the first zero of the number", "With Japan...If you want to call 080 7653 9523 you dial 011 81 80 7653 9523")
  2. Investigate what countries don't have area codes (e.g. France?)
  3. Make the error page more informative (e.g. When no countries selected, when only one country is selected)

Improve the user experience

  1. Remove auto-complete in the text field, only complete when clicked from list
  2. Add abbreviations for countries (e.g. UAE)
  3. Trim whitespaces around country names
  4. When pressing up in the auto-complete list when at the top entry, have it go to the bottom?
  5. Think about solving the flaw that people will enter cities/states, not always countries (Maybe ask the question differently? Maybe suggest something when submitted? Maybe only allow submitting when it is valid?)
  6. Focus the text box without moving the person's cursor (Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position)
  7. Make the gray text darker
  8. Make the default text disappear more reliably when clicked
  9. Easier to return to the front
  10. Make results inline?

Add new functionality

  1. Allow user to enter the phone number, and return everything they need to dial
  2. Dial this number from skype
  3. Geo-IP location to auto-populate the from textbox
  4. Include time in country, currency
  5. Link to wikipedia for the country for more info


Time to knock through some of this and get back into the code!
