Improve UX for adding new fields from the page

Open Stvad opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Right now it's quite cumbersome. Some things that I think can improve the experience:

  • [ ] Merge add view into the display view
    • Basically allow people to click a plus button in the bottom and add an arbitrary field (repeatedly)
    • Do the on-the-page entities discovery fully async
  • [ ] Allow connecting entities that are not found from the page (via direct id entry, and via search)
  • [ ] Don't push the buttons out of screen view (esp when there is enough space)
  • [ ] (current add view) Add a signifier that indicates that it's possible to change the field type you're adding

Issues to fix:

  • [ ] If none of the links resolve to anything the add view is forever stuck in the "waiting" state
