Workspace MVP
Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.
The workspace UI experimentation and learning have been rapid. As a result, each workspace mockup is replaced with a new, improved version most days.
Static mockup
The HTML table-based mockup is static, incomplete, lacks CSS, and contains made-up information (an MVP). But it has been good enough to learn very fast. This version uses iFrames and is in English.
Additional versions will address accessibility and device/screen size requirements.
URL naming pattern
Previous On a Sandy Beach posts discussed and then described the URL naming pattern. That has worked out.
That has meant naming files and directories using rules.
That is working, with more to figure out.
Deep nesting
The Workspaces contain modules that can be reused, renamed and deeply nested. This needs to happen automatically without causing name collisions. So repeatable and unique URLs. So far, I have gone 3 module levels deep.
Will try a 7-8-level-deep experiment to make sure it's safe.
Groundhog day
2,700 web pages get uploaded every day, replacing the previous 2,700 HTML pages.
Names
The names and descriptions of workspaces and modules have been reworked and made consistent across the documentation and workspaces.
URL consistency
Pattern-driven URL links must always work across workspaces, modules, settings, help, menus, how-to-guides, tutorials, and reference.
More work is needed to name and structure tutorials and reference information at Ajabbi Learn. URL link stability will take time to establish.
What's next
More of the above till all the problems disappear and it becomes 100% reliable.
Then build a demo workspace for a fictitious organisation. eg "West Klingon Hospital", "Valhalla Rail Corp", "Red Baron Airport", "Gotham City Water, "Minas Tirith Power". And users like "Dr Who", "Kermit", "Jabba the Hutt", "Galadrial", etc.
Lots of testing and feedback while having some fun.
Then make the workspaces "live" and usable.
