Is there any plan for progress and dependency visualization? #20

When a complex workflow runs for hours, it's very hard to track what's the progress now. It becomes especially complicated when one of the jobs in the workflow fails or need to be canceled.

I think it would be super convenient to have a web UI integrated to resque-web or separate UI that will enable seeing live progress of workflows, similar to more robust systems like Airflow.

I've considered moving the whole workflow to Airflow that we use for BI workflows, but it's overkill of this purpose and requires a separate infrastructure. Another alternative is Gush, as it has Graph visualization as image, but AFAIK it doesn't show real-time progress update.

Thanks

@bguban has made the taskinator_ui gem, which is a user interface for taskinator.

From the project README:

Web interface for taskinator gem. It also allows to see the workflows and enqueue a workflow from a specific place.
