[farmaazon]

• Implemented Local scope filtering #8109

• Investigated how to do visualization previews in the Component Browser better than in the old GUI. Had a call with engine where I described what's needed from the LS API.

Website progress:

Screen.Recording.2023-10-23.at.14.23.44.mov

We are almost there, but still few things missing :( We had a meeting where we went trough all website sections and estimated what is missing and how much time is still needed. I created initial deployment of the website here: https://enso-org.github.io/website2 (caution: use Chrome to see it and note that fonts are not loaded correctly). Things to be done:

1. Missing animation sections:
   • Collapsing nodes and sharing them with other people (in progress, today will be done)
   • Coding in Python (1 day needed)
   • Working in Sandbox (Environment contexts) (~1 day needed)
   • Running multiple workflows and monitoring their progress (~1 day needed)
   • Connections between nodes (~0.5-1 day needed)
2. Pricing page (only to be created, content is already done) (I will work with E-Hern to code it, design will be done for tomorrow).
3. Integrating chat that E-Hern created (this is almost done, PR is ready, styling to be done). (I will work with E-Hern to style it, design will be done for tomorrow).
4. Fixing the website for different screen sizes – currently it looks good full-screen on desktop. (I don't know how much it will take, but doesn't look very big).
5. Being sure it works well across browsers – currently Safari has some issues. (I don't know how much it will take, but doesn't look very big).
6. Fixing the deployment – currently, fonts are not loaded correctly. (E-Hern is working on it right now).
7. Some visual fixes (e.g. too long nodes or bad spacings between arguments) (~ 1 day needed).

Not sure if it is a known issue, but when I quickly scroll the page up and down, some visual artifacts appear (not 100% of the time, but a green node flying was the most popular one):

Thanks for catching it, yes, there are many such artifacts. I will be tracking and killing them soon!
