Improve LessonOverviews publication list priority

[joelhooks]

The lesson overviews in a tab interface could be presented in a priority that makes more sense in terms of the priority of items within each tab.

The first questions to answer for this screen are:

• who is this page for? profiles
• what is the practical intent of this page?

• what workflows should be provided?

  Answered here?

[trevordmiller]

I'm open to any suggestions. Can I get a list of what should be changed? @joelhooks @vojtaholik and I can implement.

[vojtaholik]

I'll provide wires/designs for different roles. Working on it.

[trevordmiller]

@vojtaholik Thanks Vojta. Will wait to hear back from you.

As an editor

• I want to provide feedback / actions to latest IN REVIEW lessons (submitted or updated) [this is now under IN REVIEW tab]

• I want to be able to accept proposed topics and also keep in track with what topics have been claimed. [this is now under IN PROGRESS tab] 
(I can imagine a quick "propose topic" card there as well - do you think that would be helpful?)

As an instructor

• I want to see my submissions there, lessons that I claimed, updated, submitted,… stuff I’m generally working on. That should be a priority, right?


• • Highlighted lesson I’m working on these days. (this could be also attached to a course)

• • Quick call to action helping me finish my latest lesson I'm working on.
• • In the future, it could be handy to see a quick conversation overview - feedback from mentor about my latest lesson I’m working on. Stuff like that.

• I don’t care too much about what other’s are doing (correct me if I'm wrong), however list of proposed topic is always handy. So I can claim or propose one. Also, when there are some totally new requested topics, I don’t want to overlook them either. Shall they be highlighted from others that I’ve most likely already saw?

As a mentor

• I want to see a balanced overview and actions bounded up with instructor and editor.
• I want to see my in progress lessons and be able to finish them.
• I want to have an overview of latest IN REVIEW lessons from others that need my attention and help

Some more thoughts

• Sorting by date, tags, instructor? search function?
• Are tabs even necessery? If yes, should their order be same for all types of users?

Quick draft showing what stuff we might do in the future. Please don't take it as "next steps". :) https://egghead.invisionapp.com/d/main/#/console/10461992/233431310/preview

What I think we're missing completely in current version apart of what Joel mentioned is a section like "My Submissions" or "My Lessons" with topics assigned to me, instructor.

Let me know what you think, I'll provide some simple mockups at the beginning of next week. 👍

"As an editor"

Sounds good.

"I can imagine a quick "propose topic" card there as well - do you think that would be helpful?"

I could add the ProposeLessonForm easily if you think it would improve the UX; the sub-component in the RequestedLessons component that toggles from "+ PROPOSE A NEW LESSON" to the form.

"As an instructor"

Sounds good. The only thing to note is that the way the LessonOverviewsByGroup component currently works is it is being used in a few places, with different "props" (option variables):

• A) the LessonsDirectory screen, to show an aggregation of all instructor's lesson activity
• B) [the InstructorDashboard screen)(https://styleguide.egghead.io/screens/InstructorDashboard), to show the instructor their own lessons by "group" (In progress, In Review, In Queue, Published); a slice of A just for them
• C) the InstructorDetails screen, to show the same thing as B^, but for anyone viewing any instructor profile, including their own

Currently these only show lessons, but I'd like to update it to show all "items" (course and stand-alone lessons).

"As a mentor"

Sounds good.

"Sorting by date, tags, instructor? search function?"

Yes, these would be helpful.

"Are tabs even necessary? If yes, should their order be same for all types of users?"

Any UX that groups things in a useful way is fine. I like the tabs but am open to other ideas, whatever works. One thing to clear up is there are no "different types of users", there is just data which is available to some accounts, so if some data is available we can conditionally display it or display it in a different way. Whatever you think is best is cool with me.

Thanks @trevordmiller

This is how I see basic enhancements based on what we currently have ➡️ https://egghead.invisionapp.com/d/main/#/projects/prototypes/11043434

Tabs order differ based on user type (I'll keep calling it like that:]). Instructors don't see other's work. Just theirs + requested.

I might go more crazy for sure. Oh, and It's actually based on Nick's "Creators' Center Strategy v01" wireframes.

Lemme know what you think, I can make couple more screens with edge cases and empty states.

@vojtaholik Thanks. Left a couple comments on the InVision mocks. I'm cool with whatever Joel wants.

[joelhooks]

This is a good spot to actually summon the man himself to get some input.

• user profiles and how they might use this list
• basic overview of the production process (this could use more details, likely)
• conversation above

@joelhooks @nickdpi would also be good to review this related story: https://github.com/eggheadio/egghead-ui/issues/142

[nickdpi]

Wrote a handful of comments in other GitHub stories and on InVision. Most of this looks good, and it's a lot to digest, so most of my feedback comes in the form of either wanting more specificity (what constitutes the transition from one role to another, the logic around what functions are allowable on each lesson to each role, etc) or having questions (how lessons are sorted when there's a particularly long list, how grouping happens, etc).

It may be that I'm best suited to tackling those detailed questions – maybe I can hop on a brief call with Vojta to chat later this week?

Commenting so I can be unassigned from this
