2019-12-16: Development Meeting

Kacper, Tim, Tommy, Mike L, Craig, Mike H, Elias

Agenda

• Updates
• Next dev meeting: 01/06/2020
• Versioning discussion
  • Kristina's work:
    • Right panel with "Tale History"
      • includes "run configuration" (allows to specify entrypoint etc.)
        • It feels a bit weird with both "save" and "apply"
        • Defaults should be changed to run.sh and test.sh
    • Left Panel under Run > Files (Archived Panel)
      • Saved versions
      • Recorded run
    • Mike:
      • The current mockup gives 0 status on your current run
      • Kacper: Move recorded runs to a new tab with Files, Metadata, Share, etc
      • We might be constrained by the previous designs(it's hard to navigate around-particularly things like running).

    • Updating publishing UI docs
    • Added docs for third party API integration
