    Hello power users, here's a collection of newbie users' experience feedback for the dashboard:

    • Confusion about what app to use for what purpose (in the respective organization)
    • Confusion about "wrong login credentials"

    (Whining at a high level, they are all very happy with Cloudron)

    Here's a suggestion to mitigate confusion:

    Cloudron-dashboard-enhancements_210326hxb.png

    • Keep the label field untouched ("filebox"). Using the subdomain part as a default works well and we do not want any disruption here
    • Add a description field for individual information ("File transfer"). This can be empty by default.
    • Add login type information (if possible). Depending on the permissions handling of the grid-item-actions layer you could add that icon there, otherwise append it with an :after element to the container. Plus a legend below.

    Happy to help with CSS fumbling if that helps getting forward 😉

    And Please forgive me for not having digged deeply into possibly related issues. I found #1804 with a "perhaps related".

    @hexbin ok I did some attempt there and we now show such an icon with a tooltip for non-admins. Admins should know already, as well as they can get that info in the app detail view. Always showing them felt a bit too cluttered.

      @nebulon Very nice! Can you post the text for each? I like wording things, and context helps 🙂

        @nebulon Aaaawesome! The tooltip solution is closer to where it's needed, good. (But be aware of possible accessibility implications.)

            The tooltip text will be finalized in weblate due to translation, will push this in a bit.

            For the description, we won't do this right now as it has various text-length issues and we already have tags and the option to give descriptive names, which already indicated in this thread can also be used to clarify to some extent. In the end this would be just the same with the same visual space limitations as the app name field, so I am not sure where the benefit is, besides limiting space even further due to more fields.

              @nebulon great stuff!

              but re:

              Personally I'd like to see it as an Admin too (if you've got loads of apps it's hard to remember how each is set-up) 🙂

              I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                @jdaviescoates Agreed. Likely not an issue for a server with only a few apps, but can be a quick time saver for that at-a-glance info when hosting many of them. I'd personally like to see a toggle that allows this for admins so that it's not there for people who don't want to see them. But that can always be second iteration. haha.

                    The Running / Stopped text sticks out more like a sore thumb now 🙂

                      I tend not to use this on mobile, but still using rollover suggests that issue isn't covered with this update?
