Wireframes for Neo Gui
Hi, We are planning to make a new Neo Gui, and for that, we need wireframes. Usually, I have a list of features to build the wireframes on top of it, but if we build this internally, we may do this without that. I think once we agree on the interface, we can move to the implementation.
This can be started now, we don't have to wait for neo-project/neo-node#497
Yes @wanglongfei88: https://xd.adobe.com/view/433a454e-c57b-4475-6d7f-5d7d3c7739e3-350b/ I believe we are only 30% done, we need more iterations and the team is still learning how Neo works and what features are required. Since the objective is to be used as a reference implementation, we are removing all features that might require indexing but at the same time, we face the challenge that we have to support plugins.
Data conversion, script disassembling, offline signing and some basic state channel UI is also planned, but the last one might not appear in version 1.0.
There is not much to see, but any feedback is already welcome. There are some defects too, because my colleague though he was reading Neo 3 docs, it was the tutorial for Neo 2 (he got the model from there).
@lock9, the wireframe looks great for me. The one question for me is that should we add blockchain explorer support into neo-gui as well ?
@wanglongfei88 the user must be able to explore local data, but at the same time, we cannot have an additional database used to view information. We need to view what is in 'IRepository' interface.
I agree that we should not add additional database for viewing info.
Rick, please keep us updated about the UI wireframe? At the same time, we are discussing the UI framework in another PR. After talking with lightszero, we decided to try to develop a simple application using Avalonia and Electron for testing purpose. And then choose the UI framework with better development support and experience.
Sure @wanglongfei88 , a feature list and plan is needed for it. I will update you with more information later this week.
@lock9 , Rick, this is the feature list that we created based on the functions of Neo3. Please use it as a reference when your team is creating the wireframe so that we do not have too much divergence. Hopefully it will be very helpful. Please let me know if there is any thing we need to change.
Hi @wanglongfei88, this is the raw feature list, I didn't evaluate with my colleague if everything will be included, there are topics that we don't even have inside neo yet. There are topics that are neo 2 only (neo fs). Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

@lock9 Hi, Rick. I like the feature list. They are a lot of useful functions for neo3 gui. My concern is that this feature is too comprehensive and forward-looking. For example, state channel, ZK, Oracle and FS node will not be ready at first stage.
Maybe we should start with feature plan for the 1st version of neo-gui. And then slowly adding new features into it when those features are ready in neo3.
