This week's side project might be useful for Solid developers. It's called Penny, and it allows you to inspect and manipulate data in your Pod.
Give it a try here, and let me know what you think: https://Penny.VincentTunru.com #Solid #SolidProject
@vinnl This is awesome :D I feel like I'll use from now on to interact with my POD :) thanks!
Some improvements I can see:
- It'd be nice to have a button to collapse the blocks under "Things" (maybe even appear collapsed by default).
- I'm missing a button to delete a container with all their contents. I know that's a dangerous operation, but I think having the confirmation you already have for deleting resources is enough.
@noeldemartin Hey Noel, just a heads-up: deleting entire Containers is now supported in Penny. And I added collapsing a while ago :)
@vinnl Nice! it works great, thank you :D
Some small improvements: for large containers, the operation doesn't complete instantly so a loader would be appreciated to see that it's doing something. Also, after the resource has been deleted, there's not need to stay on the same page saying "This Resource does not exist.", going back and showing a toast or something would be fine.
I'm just nitpicking though, it gets the job done :).
@vinnl And to get really crazy on the UX, it's cumbersome to collapse resources one by one. A "collapse all" button would be great, but I understand it pollutes the UI. Something else you could do is collapsing everything if I collapse an item while pressing the ALT key. That's how you can collapse all files looking at a commit in github :).
@vinnl I wouldn't say that, I think the UX is quite good :). Of course it can be improved, like everything, but the way it is right now I think it's very nice! Thanks for the latest additions :D.
@noeldemartin Ah cool, didn't know that, but that's useful! Alt+click now works in Penny too.
And yeah, the UX isn't super polished, but I wanted to get the functionality out the door since multiple people had requested it so far. It now shows which resources it's currently deleting; it's still a lot of jumping around and quick flashing of messages, but at least you have some idea of what's going on during longer operations.
