TODO list (should probably move to wiki or something)

Open copumpkin opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

(These are mostly by @krisher from a while back)

UI

  • Horizontal code / output layout (side by side instead of current top/bottom)
  • Config and init scripts editable (at least viewable) in web UI
  • Notebook grouping in dashboard
  • Shared / Collaborative editing
  • Notebook overview (e.g. list of variables/values, functions)

IDE features (integrate with Ensime?)

  • Compile error underlines
  • Hyperlink to source (also in external editor/IDE?)
  • Expression type info (e.g. ctrl-q in IntelliJ)
  • Better auto-complete
  • Scaladoc hovers

Multi-user / distributed kernels

  • Per-kernel configuration
  • Multi-user auth / security
  • Distributed Akka (spawn VM's over a cluster?)
  • Better separation between SN server and kernel management system
  • Restore IPython-like cluster interface?

Build / Deployment

  • Propagate RequireJS (curl.js) through non-3rd party javascript (the IPython sourced stuff), or make sure this is minified into a single file.
  • Compile & Lint javascript
  • Javascript testing framework (qunit + test driver?)
  • Improve development workflow (more play-like?)

Library updates

  • Unfiltered -- update or switch?
  • Akka to 2.1
  • Scala 2.10

Other

  • Replace REPL with something else...
    • The way REPL holds state is simultaneously useful and not exactly what we want... In an ideal world we could compile at the cell level, and track dependencies across cells.
  • Pure scala representation of notebooks (round trip editing)
  • Proper use of typesafe config (reference config + namespaces)
  • Multiple notebook directories
  • Etag / improved cache control for static resources

I've been thinking about building an adapter so that I can bring SN in as a Play module for an existing application, but your TODO items...

Improve development workflow (more play-like?)

Unfiltered -- update or switch?

...make me think that maybe an adapter isn't bold enough and that you might want to switch to Play completely :) What's your guys' thinking on this?

@copumpkin the 2.10 repl is really usefull. A friend of mine is doing some experiment with it ( scala worksheet in the browser ). I will try to merge it on my scala 2.10 branch soon.
