Homepage improvements

[davidwatkins73]

The Waltz homepage is largely static and uninteresting to users after their first viewing. This issue is an analysis task to see what dynamic elements could/should be included on the homepage to increase user engagement and to help users understand what recent changes in the Waltz dataset may effect them.

Possible work items:

• Backend
  • [x] SQL for summarizing changelogs (all changes for apps mentioned in a group ) - JWS : 1
    • not just app groups!
    • summarization by date (raw counts) for heatmap
    • summarization by app and child entity kind for table view, focused on selected heatmap date
  • [x] DDL add is_favourite column to application_group (plus prov , plus is_readonly) - DW : 1
• Services
  • [x] create favourite service which can 'add / remove' applications - JWS:2
    • how do we stop removal of 'direct apps' ?
    • possibly add an is_readonly column to app_group_*_entry
    • maybe also add provenance to app_group_*_entry to simplify recreation
    • needs to create favourite group if none exists
  • [x] service to expose summarization - DW : 2
  • [x] limits should be based on number of days, not record-counts
• Frontend
  • [x] add favourite button (bookmark / bookmark-o or star/star-o) which calls service
  • [x] distinguish read-only items (i.e. greyed out bookmark/half-star)
  • [x] notification on add/remove
  • [x] add scroll region to app groups (small change)
  • [x] create heatmap (i.e. steal/adapt d3 examples - search d3 calendar heatmap) - DW/JWS : 3
  • [x] heatmap on-click shows breakdown table for that date
  • [x] create attestation/survey mini section (so it's not hidden in the profile menu)
  • [x] re-layout homepage, with an explicit news section.
  • [x] browser detect and banner recommending chrome etc. Wording should be from database so that links to internal software repos can be specified.

• List is now in a scrollable region which is searchable.
• The operations: unsubscribe and delete are now immediately available
• panel switches to a search mode when looking for shared public groups (see below)

Thoughts @MarkGuerriero ?

Like the look of the app group scroller -this will make it a lot easier to manage the list and also free up screen real estate.
