[DES] Brainstorm UX for split screen

natdink commented 1 week ago

Leadership would really like a split screen between design and data to ease the friction between having to toggle between the distinct pages.

Considerations in the update:

pipeline/graph view will be a future feature which will be available in the app builder and when turned on will replace data and design
design is on left side so that it is closest to the drag and drop menu
block settings were on far right when design was a single page; decision is to nest settings after block selection and provide multiple interaction points for user to bring up when needed (double click on element to get block settings, click out of element tor return to blocks panel)
design page should mirror notebook and have sheets which will represent pages
possibly moving app title to put the action button front and center and not to close to the back button

Reviewed with Neel notes:

consider current interaction confusion of button in canvas
possibly do a close button on left menu instead of back
combine viz and blocks into one for now
how to handle the future scenario of many types of cells in the future (possibly 1:1 with options in legacy pipeline)
