Display All My Designs in the Meshery UI: Enhancing User Experience

Current Behavior

The current Meshery UI does not provide a dedicated section for users to view all their created designs in one place. This lack of a centralized location forces users to manually search for or navigate through different sections to find their designs, resulting in decreased usability and efficiency. The absence of a streamlined design management system can lead to frustration and wasted time for users who need to access their designs frequently.

Desired Behavior

To address this issue, we propose the implementation of a dedicated section or tab in the Meshery UI to display all designs created by the user. This section should be easily accessible and provide users with the ability to filter, search, and sort their designs with ease. Each design should be visually distinguishable with relevant metadata, such as name, status, and last modified date. Additionally, we aim to improve navigation to allow quick access to personal designs, making it easier for users to manage their designs and collaborate with others.

Design Requirements

To achieve the desired behavior, the following design requirements must be met:

A dedicated section or tab in the Meshery UI to display all designs created by the user
Users should be able to filter, search, and sort their designs easily
Each design should be visually distinguishable with relevant metadata (e.g., name, status, last modified date)
Improve navigation to allow quick access to personal designs

Design Considerations

When designing the dedicated section for displaying all designs, the following considerations should be taken into account:

User Experience: The design should be intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to quickly find and access their designs.
Visual Hierarchy: The design should have a clear visual hierarchy, with each design being visually distinguishable from others.
Metadata: The design should include relevant metadata for each design, such as name, status, and last modified date.
Navigation: The design should improve navigation to allow quick access to personal designs.

Technical Requirements

To implement the desired behavior, the following technical requirements must be met:

Backend: The backend should be able to retrieve and display all designs created by the user.
Frontend: The frontend should be able to filter, search, and sort designs easily.
Database: The database should be able to store and retrieve design metadata.

Implementation Plan

The implementation plan for the dedicated section for displaying all designs is as follows:

Design: Design the dedicated section for displaying all designs, taking into account the design considerations outlined above.
Backend: Implement the backend to retrieve and display all designs created by the user.
Frontend: Implement the frontend to filter, search, and sort designs easily.
Database: Implement the database to store and retrieve design metadata.
Testing: Test the dedicated section for displaying all designs to ensure it meets the desired behavior.

Conclusion

The implementation of a dedicated section for displaying all designs in the Meshery UI will enhance user experience, improve usability, and increase efficiency. By providing users with a centralized location to view and manage their designs, we can reduce frustration and wasted time, making it easier for users to collaborate and work with others.
