LOTS of very nice things in here! I realize this is just a design proposal, and I don’t mean these to in any way detract from the awesomeness, but here is some feedback…
- I have ~200 Things and ~1000 Items. There is a lot of white space in the list view, which could be shrunk down for better viewing.
- It would be nice to see what you propose for the list views… there’s not much currently in there. Having lots fo Things and Items, I prefer the listview over the gridview, as it’s more manageable.
- A Tree view would be nice… which groups Things by binding, Items by type, etc.
- There’s a filter, but there doesn’t seem to be any option to sort Items, Things, etc.
- The view options reset when navigating away/back. The current Paper UI does something similar, after selecting a filter and navigating back from viewing a detail. Filter/view settings should remain until cleared, and persist between visits.
- Textual configuration displays all Items or Things… individually would be much easier to mavigate.
- The Thing properties look like they will be pretty cramped over on the right, and looks grafted on. Same for the menu on the left (above 1280x720).
- Above about 1280x720, there is a lot of empty white space to the right and left of the screen. Below that, it looks a lot better.
Have you seen the Karaf Webconsole? Karaf in Paper UI would be pretty slick!
