## Open
|
||||
|
||||
- **Two visible "Export" buttons** (`App.tsx` header — workspace export;
|
||||
`ChartExport.tsx` in the preview header — per-chart export). Same label,
|
||||
different scope, both visible at once. Candidate fix: rename one ("Export
|
||||
chart" / "Export workspace") or differentiate via grouping.
|
||||
|
||||
- **"LATER" facet placeholders in Chart Builder shelves**
|
||||
(`ChartBuilderModal.module.css` → `.facetSlot`/`.facetTag`). Internal roadmap
|
||||
language shipped to users. Either hide the affordance until faceting works or
|
||||
write user-facing copy.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Default snippet names are timestamps** ("Snippet 2026-06-10 18:04:37") — the
|
||||
library reads like a downloads folder next to builder-generated names ("Bar
|
||||
chart of count by Ship Mode"). Candidate: derive a content-based name from the
|
||||
spec (mark + encoded fields) when the user never renames.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Fit-mode tab labels** ("Original / Width / Height / Full", `LivePreview.tsx`)
|
||||
are terse for a first-time user; tooltips likely suffice.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Donate is the most saturated element on screen** (header soft-accent wash) —
|
||||
visually outranks Publish/Build Chart. Decide whether intentional.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Left rail affordance** (`PaneToggleStrip.tsx`): three unlabeled glyphs + a
|
||||
tall empty strip; pane toggles aren't discoverable without hovering.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pane toggle pressed state = hover state** (`PaneToggleStrip.module.css`).
|
||||
The pressed chip is a `--layer-02` fill — the same fill the strip's IconButtons
|
||||
use on hover — so hovering an off toggle looks identical to an on toggle at
|
||||
rest. (The pressed chip's `--border-strong` border used to disambiguate; it was
|
||||
dropped in the box-discipline pass.) Candidate cues: a filled/accent glyph,
|
||||
an inset edge marker, or restoring a border for the on state only.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dataset detail schema density** (`DatasetsModal.tsx`): one field per row
|
||||
makes a 25-column dataset a long scroll before the preview table; a denser
|
||||
two-column field list would fit overview + schema + preview on one screen.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Chart theme picker placement & header crowding** (`LivePreview.tsx` — ChartThemeControl).
|
||||
The picker sits in the preview header because nesting a SelectControl inside the
|
||||
PreviewSettings popover is impossible today (one-open-popover registry: the select would
|
||||
close/unmount its own parent). Header now holds Fit + theme + export + gear; at narrow
|
||||
pane widths the long trigger labels ("FiveThirtyEight", "Urban Institute") may crowd it.
|
||||
Council questions: does the picker deserve header prominence (the "transform your chart"
|
||||
showcase) or settings-cluster placement (a persistent global pref); should the popover
|
||||
registry learn nesting; should the preset block also carry a group _heading_ (a
|
||||
divider now bounds it — 2026-06-12, user-decided; `SelectControl` `dividerBefore`)?
|
||||
|
||||
- **"Edit themes…" action row inside the value picker** (`LivePreview.tsx` —
|
||||
ChartThemeControl). A non-value action lives inside a single-select disclosure (the
|
||||
VS Code theme-picker pattern), placed after the custom-themes block and before the
|
||||
preset roster (first-use feedback: at the very bottom it was invisible without
|
||||
scrolling). The ours-vs-presets divider (2026-06-12) now bounds it below; remaining
|
||||
council questions: should the action row itself be styled distinctly from the value
|
||||
rows; is a mid-list row that opens a modal instead of selecting surprising to AT
|
||||
users?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Theme Builder config editor is a plain textarea** (`ThemeBuilderModal.tsx`). Monaco
|
||||
(with the Vega-Lite config schema for completions) would match the main editor but is
|
||||
heavy inside a modal and untested in that mounting. Revisit whether the builder deserves
|
||||
a Monaco instance, and whether the gallery's canvas charts need text alternatives
|
||||
beyond the per-card captions.
