Introduction

Largely focused around Improvements to the IDE UI, as well as progress on documentation for the Braille project.

Clean Notes

Frank Johnson

Completed

• a starter site map (https://www.figma.com/file/VUh53RdncjZ7NuFYj0RGB9/?node-id=929%3A1294). Even though there isn't much going on there it did help me think of some questions around Projects vs Parts.
• beginning to clean up IDE mockups. Want to make sure I account for the 3 different roles (public, non-owner, owner) that may view a part, and what actions are available to each.

Will work on

• More IDE design, especially around Project vs Part stuff, and graphic identity elements, which I didn't get to this week.

Questions / discussion

• I have some thoughts sparked by the site map that I wanted to run by you about how Projects (or Assemblies?) might work on CadHub in future
• If the IDE has multi-file support, doesn't that make it (what I've been calling the "part" view) a bit like a Project? If there's nothing stopping someone from including multiple .py files in their CadQuery part, is the distinction between Project and Part a meaningful one?
• This is further complicated in my head by the GitHub integration. I would think a GH repo was a "project", but would our implementation connect GH to the "part" level?
• I don't know enough about all the CAD packages to know if they have differing opinions about Projects/assemblies and parts.
• I do think that it would be nice for CadHub to support Projects and individual Parts. So in the sitemap I have the Browse and Profile views linked to both Project and Part views, because I would think in the Browse and Profile pages you could see Projects and individual parts with no wrapping Project listed side-by-side.

Jeremy Wright

Completed

• Working on documentation for the Braille project, done in Git-Building, still needs to get the CI working for Git-Building to generate the docs.
• Writing unit-tests and UI tests for sembledge, discovered a few memory leaks and other bugs in the proccess.

Will work on

• Finish up the docs from above, including getting a clean print of a Braille card as a cover image
• Might look into why assembly features aren't working in the CQ-CLI

Kurt Hutten

Completed

• Working on implementing @franknoirot UI designs made decent progress still a few things to tidy up
• In the process has added a flow for making the external script urls so that user's don't have to know how to craft the URL

Will work on

• Finish the IDE UI implementation, it can't be fully completed since there are CadHub features missing but things left to do
  • Add side panel
  • Hook up the gear button on each panel to open a section in tho side panel for those settings
  • Probably add some tests

Rough Notes

Talked a little about the OpenSCAD customizer again.

Thanks so much for the designs so far @franknoirot, it's been so nice to not have to think about it and just implement someone elses designs and really happy with the results so far :)
