There could be more clarity concerning:

Yes! For some inspiration, foodcoop-adam is using a progress bar for the remaining units.

units-idea Pending is tolerance in a different colour, and showing the amounts you really get. I hope to sit down with a user-interface expert some time to come up with an improved design that shows all data to those who look carefully without getting in the way of 'casual' users.

wvengen commented 10 years ago

In the previous example, unit_quantity and already filled unit_quantities are visible. What about something like this to show the member amounts that he will actually receive (instead of requested ones shown now)? units_fill_really_get_mockup (this would leave included tolerance in the filled unit_quantities to be put somewhere)

We are in a quite small foodcoop, and sometimes it just does not make sense to order, as there is not enough people ordering. Is there some possibility to see, how much value is already ordered with one supplier?

carchrae commented 7 years ago

i agree with @josefkreitmayer - you can see the amount already ordered (in the current order) by hovering the mouse and it is shown in the bottom, but this is a bit hidden.

i would also like to see the foodcoop-adam UI in the master version. i may help port, or re-implement something. there are some serious usability issues, especially on mobile devices.

@josefkreitmayer that's a good point. I've opened an issue in https://github.com/foodcoops/foodsoft-shop/issues/7 regarding this. Ideas welcome. What do you say about the user story?

@carchrae Most work has already been done in foodsoft-shop (together with an API for Foodsoft - PR #429), and its issues describe what's pending. Could really use some help here (I'm a bit stuck on optimistic updates), and I'm also curious to see what you'd think of the current UI (if you'd get it all running).

@wvengen - cool. i will check it out. i used spree commerce's api before, in a very similar architecture putting a lot more logic in the browser to make it a very fast/responsive UI, although i used angular not react.
