Hello everyone,
This is my report for Week 2 of the GSoC coding period, in which I enlist the tasks I fulfilled during the week.
Any feedback, comments, and suggestions are welcome.
Weekly Report (June 9th - June 15th)
I performed the following tasks during this week:
-
Continued discussions with mentors regarding the design and user experience of the Time Travel Queries feature.
-
Presented updated mockups and gathered feedback on the proposed workflows for both as_of and from_to functionalities.
-
Iterated on the designs based on mentor suggestions and project requirements.
-
Refined the as_of mockup through multiple review cycles and finalized the overall user workflow and interface design.
-
Discussed implementation considerations for integrating as_of into the existing istSOS interface while maintaining consistency with the current user experience.
-
Conducted further research on temporal data exploration interfaces and historical data navigation systems to evaluate different approaches for the from_to functionality.
-
Gained a clearer understanding of the expected behavior and scope of the from_to feature through mentor discussions.
-
Identified key differences between the current proposal and the envisioned workflow discussed with mentors.
-
Evaluated alternative UI approaches for presenting complete historical information over a selected time interval.
-
Documented feedback and design considerations that will guide the next round of mockup iterations.
Details can be found in:
- Mockups: * Mockup - Excalidraw
What do I plan to do next week?
-
Begin implementing the finalized as_of design and progressively translate the approved mockup into the actual user interface.
-
Familiarize myself with the relevant frontend components and code paths required for the implementation.
-
Continue discussions with mentors regarding the from_to functionality and its expected user workflow.
-
Perform additional research on interfaces that provide complete historical exploration and timeline-based navigation.
-
Create new mockup iterations for from_to based on the latest mentor feedback.
-
Explore approaches for presenting a dedicated history view, as opposed to an overview-style interface, to better align with the intended user experience.
-
Work towards finalizing the from_to design before beginning implementation.
Am I blocked on anything?
- No, currently I do not have any blocking issues.
