Pull request #557: TIM-961: Replace /add with native picker
Author: login: codegen-sh[bot]
Created: 2025-05-10T17:17:25Z | Merged: 2025-05-11T01:02:41Z

## Description
This PR implements the feature to replace the multi-step /add flow with a direct native photo picker for faster event creation.

### Changes
- Modified `AddEventButton.tsx` to directly launch the native photo picker instead of navigating to the /add screen
- Added logic to create an event immediately after photo selection
- Added success toast with "View event" action button
- Updated component documentation

### User Experience Benefits
- **Faster Event Creation:** Significantly reduces steps for users wanting to quickly capture an event based on a single photo
- **Improved Privacy Interaction:** Leverages modern iOS photo picking, which allows users to grant access only to selected photos rather than the entire library

### Testing Notes
- The /add screen is still accessible through other entry points and remains unchanged
- The filename of the selected photo is used as the default text content for the event
- No link preview is involved in this flow

Closes TIM-961

## PR Summary

Implemented a streamlined event creation flow using native photo picker with multi-image support and parallel processing.

- Added multi-image selection (up to 10 images) with parallel event creation in `apps/expo/src/components/AddEventButton.tsx`
- Implemented optimized image processing with base64 conversion and cleanup in `apps/expo/src/hooks/useCreateEvent.ts`
- Added optional notification control through `sendNotification` parameter in event creation API
- Enhanced error handling for photo library assets and file system URIs
- Added aggregated success/error feedback with actionable toast messages

body: Consider enhancing the ImagePicker configuration to support multiple photo selection, which could be a powerful feature for users who want to create multiple events at once:

```typescript
const result = await ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync({
  mediaTypes: ImagePicker.MediaTypeOptions.Images,
  quality: 0.8,
  allowsMultipleSelection: true,
  selectionLimit: 10, // iOS-only; limit to a reasonable number
});

// Then process all selected photos in a loop or with Promise.all
if (!result.canceled && result.assets.length > 0) {
  // Process multiple photos...
}
```

This would align with the TIM-961 requirements while providing even more efficiency for power users.

body: Consider adding a loading indicator during event creation to provide better feedback to users, especially on slower networks. You could use a persistent toast with a loading state:

```typescript
// Show loading toast before creating event
const loadingToastId = toast.loading("Creating event...", { duration: Infinity });

try {
  const eventId = await createEvent(eventData);
  
  // Dismiss loading toast
  toast.dismiss(loadingToastId);
  
  // Show success toast
  if (eventId) {
    toast.success("Captured successfully!", {
      action: {
        label: "View event",
        onClick: () => {
          toast.dismiss();
          router.push(`/event/${eventId}`);
        },
      },
    });
  }
} catch (error) {
  // Dismiss loading toast
  toast.dismiss(loadingToastId);
  
  logError("Error creating event from AddEventButton", error);
  toast.error("Failed to create event. Please try again.");
}
```

This provides clearer feedback during the potentially time-consuming event creation process.

body: The PR adds a new `sendNotification` parameter to the event creation flow, but it's not being utilized here. Since you're already showing a toast notification in the UI, you might want to set `sendNotification: false` to avoid duplicate notifications:

```typescript
const eventData = {
  rawText: filename,
  imageUri,
  userId: user.id,
  username: user.username,
  sendNotification: false, // Avoid duplicate notifications since we're showing a toast
};
```

This would prevent users from getting both an in-app toast and a system notification for the same event creation.

The issue was several ESLint errors in the `AddEventButton.tsx` file:

1. Removed unused imports and variables:
   - `recentPhotosQueryKey` and `useRecentPhotos`
   - `mediaPermissionsQueryKey`
   - `logDebug`
   - `hasMediaPermission`
   - `queryClient`
   - `useRef`

2. Fixed a floating promise by adding `void` to the `showProPaywallIfNeeded()` call

These changes fix all the ESLint errors while maintaining the functionality of the component.

body: ✅ Fixed the failing CI check in [this commit](https://github.com/jaronheard/soonlist-turbo/commit/b189015). 

The issue was an incorrect import path in `AddEventButton.tsx`. The component was importing `useMediaPermissions` from `~/hooks/useMediaLibrary` but the correct path is `~/hooks/useMediaPermissions`. This was causing the ESLint check to fail with an "unsafe call of an `any` typed value" warning.

I've updated the import path and verified that all checks now pass:
- ✅ Formatting (prettier)
- ✅ Linting (eslint)
- ✅ Type checking (tsc)

The changes have been pushed to the original PR branch.

body: I've restored the original button style while keeping the new functionality! 🎨

The changes include:
- Kept the original button position, size, and appearance at the bottom center of the screen
- Maintained the original shadow, color, and rounded style
- Preserved the bouncing chevron animation
- Kept the background gradients
- Retained the "Start your free trial" button for users without unlimited access

The button now looks exactly like it did before, but when clicked, it will use the new direct photo picker functionality instead of navigating to the /add screen.

body: ## PR Review: Replace /add with native picker

I've reviewed the changes in this PR that replace the multi-step /add flow with a direct native photo picker for faster event creation. Here's my assessment:

### Overall Assessment

This is a well-implemented feature that significantly improves the user experience by streamlining the event creation process. The changes are focused, maintain backward compatibility, and follow good practices for React Native development.

### Strengths

1. **Improved UX**: The direct photo picker approach significantly reduces friction in the event creation process, which should lead to higher engagement.

2. **Error Handling**: The implementation includes comprehensive error handling at multiple levels:
   - Handling photo picker cancellation
   - Checking for user information availability
   - Try/catch blocks for image processing and event creation
   - Appropriate error toasts with user-friendly messages

3. **User Feedback**: Good use of toast notifications with action buttons to provide immediate feedback and navigation options.

4. **Code Organization**: The changes maintain the existing code structure and patterns, making it easy to understand and maintain.

5. **Performance Considerations**: The implementation properly handles image optimization and processing.

### Suggestions for Improvement

1. **Multi-Photo Support**: Consider adding support for selecting multiple photos at once, which could further streamline the event creation process for power users. The current implementation only uses the first selected photo even though the picker supports multiple selection.

2. **Loading State**: Consider adding a loading indicator during event creation to provide better feedback to users, especially on slower networks.

3. **Documentation**: The component documentation has been updated, but it might be helpful to add more detailed comments about the new flow, especially regarding the differences between iOS and Android behavior.

4. **Testing**: Ensure thorough testing on both iOS and Android, as native pickers can behave differently across platforms.

### Code-Specific Comments

1. The `ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync()` configuration could be enhanced to explicitly set `allowsMultipleSelection: true` if multi-photo support is desired in the future.

2. The error handling is good, but consider adding more specific error messages for different failure scenarios to help with debugging.

3. The PR adds a new `sendNotification` parameter to the event creation flow, which is a good addition for flexibility, but it's not being utilized in the AddEventButton implementation. Consider setting it to `false` for this flow if notifications aren't needed.

### Conclusion

This PR successfully implements the requirements specified in TIM-961 and provides a significant improvement to the user experience. The code is well-structured, includes proper error handling, and maintains compatibility with existing features. I recommend merging this PR after addressing the minor suggestions above.

body: I've completed my review of PR #557 which replaces the /add flow with a native picker for faster event creation. 

Overall, this is a well-implemented feature that significantly improves the user experience by streamlining the event creation process. The code is well-structured, includes proper error handling, and maintains compatibility with existing features.

I've left several comments on the PR with suggestions for improvement:

1. **Multi-Photo Support**: Consider enhancing the ImagePicker to support selecting multiple photos at once
2. **Loading State**: Add a loading indicator during event creation for better user feedback
3. **Notification Control**: Use the new `sendNotification` parameter to avoid duplicate notifications

These are minor suggestions that could further enhance the implementation, but the PR is already in good shape for merging.
