[Updates/Notes] 20180816

Developing on the thoughts from #29 around better integrating resource tagging and the tutorial making, I decided to re-write the Resource Collector browser plugin keeping in mind that it would be nice to be able to add the resources directly to tutorials from the plugin itself without having to go to the main webpage for editing.

Here's the progress so far

Upon opening the extension, a user authenticates/logs in w/ github auth

Then user selects an image for the cover image

user can edit or add tags, description, etc

user then can organize into tutorial and section. If desired they can also add a new tutorial or section

Todos:

• Nothing is hooked up to a backend service yet, but that's the plan the next couple days.
• needs better multi-select interaction for tags
• create integration with tutorial maker / open new tab ==> with main Magic tracks webpage
• no styling applied yet, def. need to do this as well

Updates: 20180817

Hello! So my major update is that I spent a bunch of time to map out the workflow that needs to go down using our own homegrown system. I've been discussing with a friend @blahah and he has helped to define some data models and considerations for how to keep this thing running in a nice way.

I've diagrammed out what the next 2 weeks are going to look like in terms of building stuff out. By working through this workflow - setting up the frontend and backend for the web app, and browser extension - and integrating some of hte design proposals from @matamalaortiz - I think we will have an initial workflow to get the conversation going about how we might start to rapidly create learning materials from a set of vetted resources.
