Space Browser designs
From @yoshyosh on January 22, 2015 2:13
Here are the browser designs https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l4oby8qv58aom6w/AABNKpT_AqopP-1QoQgb9bKda?dl=0
The main problem comes from accessing linked objects. With this design, when you click a link it will create a new table to the right of the link you clicked. This will allow data to be traversed infinitely.
We need to see what this feels like, with general json data samples like an actual request from the foursquare api, or anything more complex.
The prototype and experience are the most important at this stage vs being fully integrated with Realm

@GreatApe 's WIP is now here: https://github.com/realm/realm-cocoa/tree/gk-new-browser
Alright. I'm going to follow up on this one a bit until we've got a clear vision of what the Space Browser design should look like.
After looking at some other apps that use the style of having a dark color theme or their left hand column, I had a try on improving and streamlining the current mockup for the Space Browser.
I still agree that the user experience in accessing linked objects is a problem, but I don't think implementing additional tables in an infinitely scrolling horizontal layout will work very well. I've got some potential solutions for that, but I'm going to do some more research and ask some more users before I post them here.
I like a lot of things in this except losing all that vertical space for the “schema” tab. Can’t we make schema editing something you eventually access from the left column? (Right click on class name or gearbox/edit icon?)
