some suggestions:

as part of the map controllers
as a dismissible banner (ignore the colors for now)
floaters

skyrpex commented 1 month ago

I think we should provide a full-width heading on top. There are many more actions I'd love to implement there:

Environment selector (local, specific test, staging/production)
Layout configuration
Layers configuration (e.g. show inflights or not)
Login configuration?
Search widget (e.g. to search constructs, logs...)

@skyrpex we can start with a full width header and the signed in user avatar / initials... and the discord icon. The other suggestion are not for the near future

@Chriscbr mentioned this issue, and I thought about adding a menu in a new top bar. I would also go with @skyrpex's solution.

Yeah I know, I was just stating that we really could use some real state there 👍🏻

skyrpex commented 4 weeks ago

Since we don't have other reasons to use the top header, what do you think of having the discord button in the status bar for now? See both examples:

localhost_5173_ (7) localhost_5173_ (8)

Using the status bar for now would also simplify implementation since the status bar is already hidden in some places (e.g. winglang.io/play) and if we were to include a new header, we'd also have to include new properties to customize whether the header is shown or not.

@skyrpex I would go with the discord icon in the status bar for now ➕

👍🏻 My thoughts as well.

~~BTW, @ainvoner what kind of link will work here? Discord invite links expire every 7 days AFAIK.~~ NVM, Discord can generate permanent links.

Congrats! :rocket: This was released in Wing 0.74.28.

ainvoner commented 4 weeks ago

reopen this issue, I don't think this is the right approach - our goal is to add users to our community. The discord icon is too hidden

polamoros commented 4 weeks ago

what about something like this?

skyrpex commented 4 weeks ago

Maybe that's too much? Looks like an ad 😅

Shai what do you prefer? Pol's suggestion or back to the new header on top?

@polamoros can we close this one?

@ainvoner you can close it if you're happy with the current design!
