Dashboard or github actions

[niekdejonge]

We just discussed the options to implement the quality checks using a dashboard or github actions. Let's continue the discussion here:

Github actions would automatically run the quality checks for a spectrum. Benefit:

• Easy to implement, no server needed to run ourselves.

Downside:

• It will not be easy for a user to correct mistakes if they occur.

Creating a dashboard, would result in a webpage where you can upload library spectra. Quality checks will be applied directly, the user will see spectra that are not yet correct with the option to correct them. Benefit:

• Easy to use for chemists.
• Direct user feedback possible, this makes it possible to correct small mistakes (which are very common from my experience)

Downside:

• We would need to build a dashboard.
• Eventually this would have to be hosted on a server.

In the case of a dashboard, we could aim for getting a locally running dashboard working, that does basic quality checks and exports the cleaned spectra in a standardized format.

What do you think?

On the matchms side we settled for a dashboard build in streamlit
