Vision for the future

[pdmnyberg]

These are some ideas that might not fit entirely into the scope of this project but might be worth mentioning for the future:

• Portal for a collection of services
• Main features:
  • List services
  • Data driven theming
  • Allow searches for each service independently
  • Store result caches in local storage (clearly indicated to which service they belong)
  • Allow simplified single service operations when only one service is available
  • Customizable shortcuts to user selected services on the front page
• Main views:
  • Home: index
    • Includes a random selection of services unless the user has made a custom selection
  • List services: services
    • List all services with images, names and description
      • Allow for "pinning" to home
      • Allow navigation to services
    • Filtering and sorting
  • Use service: services/<service_id>
    • Show service form and allow it to be executed
    • A successful execution navigates to the "Single result view" with a given result id
  • Result list: results
    • List all cached results
    • Results should show the related service name and some basic result properties
    • The list should allow sorting and filtering
    • Allow download of result-cache
  • Single result: results/<result_id>
    • Show a specific result
    • Clearly indicate from which service the result is produced
    • Clearly indicate date and time of result
    • Allow result export/download
