Remarks/Ideas for improvements

Open DblK opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

I just found out this project and it seems very promising. Actually it's close to dead bip.io project. Not the same implementation but I was looking for an alternative to zapier.

After asking some question on Gitter, here is a list of remarks/idea. I did not want to make several issues submission but if it's easier for you I can do that. In the meantime, here is the list:

[ ] Review icons for activity and trigger. Add a possibility to add an icon.svg or icon.png in the root folder to display icon (or same name of trigger/activity or specify inside json file)
[ ] In the trigger view, handle type. For example boolean should be display as switch instead of input box.
[ ] Display all showcase from ui
[ ] Categorised trigger and activity for better search (transfort, database, etc..)
[ ] Maybe having 2 repositories for trigger/activity : one for TIBCO and another one from community. Adding a official badge for the TIBCO one.
[ ] Add the possibility to publish from ui (to docker-hub or any docker registry)
[ ] Review the number of steps in the ui (branch switch always start from previous column instead of going back to one)
[ ] Auto-populate input/output (or allowing to do this with a button) from trigger(s) output
[ ] Fix bug in ui, create 3 steps, on step2 create a branch then delete it. The link from step2 to step3 has disappeared
[ ] Ui handle Undo/Redo
[ ] Distribute ui image with small amount of trigger/activity as base but also a full image with all trigger/activities from community
[ ] Display help from trigger/activity inside the ui without opening a new tab in browser. Also check if the readme.md exist to display or not the help symbol.
[ ] Impossible to have a switch for two branches. I wish to be able to do 2 thing. I can only but conditions on subbranch not first one. Same if you create 2 subbranch with condition=true, only the latest one is fired
[ ] On add trigger view, please add search input for both columns (trigger types, my existing triggers)
[ ] Handle ESC on various screens to close them
[ ] When add activity, please add focus on the search part
[ ] Handle some kind of authentication (OAuth) to be able to register app maybe with a specific trigger
[ ] Find a way to group triggers and activities. For example, if I create a dropbox trigger for adding file and also for delete file. I need to create 2 triggers. Then I will have some activities, like generate a new link, add a file to dropbox, rename a file. I will need to make 3 activities? I wish to be able to do everything in the same source while only use what is needed upon build.
[ ] Automatically install trigger/activity when you build from json or import in the ui

If you agreed on some idea, I can give you a hand for some. A lot of items on the list are about the ui, so it will need to wait until UI is released.

Happy new year !

Thanks for all these great suggestions @DblK! I'm still going through them but I'm thinking maybe we should start with the bugs, would you please create separate issues for this two and provide more info?

Review the number of steps in the ui (branch switch always start from previous column instead of going back to one)
