Modern interface

[garno]

Hi,

This is more of a question than an issue I have with the gem. I was wondering if you were interested in someone investing time to work on the UI. It seems a little outdated and there is some small UX issues that can be worked on.

I’m interested in integrating a basic Bootstrap interface. This won’t add to much dependencies and I think it will improve the overall experience.

If it is something you’re interested in, I’ll be happy to work on it.

Keep up the good work, this gem is essential to our workflow :)

Hi @garno ,

thanks for your willingness to work on this 💚

Sorry for my tardiness, basically there was/is a ton to work on and I decided to first tackle stuff over at the core gem and it has taken me literally years to get over here.

I'd be interested in a more modern interface... one of the next things I have on my agenda is also to go around and upgrade some dependencies or try to integrate #51 and what not. There's a lot of room for modernization around here.

Cheers,
Tobi

Honestly I vould vote against this. The UI is fine. You can search for files fast and figure out quickly what you want to figure out. If anyone has a better idea they can make up their own formatter. Personally, I am always sad that the (paid) codecov service doesn't use the default formatter.

The best interface is seing the coverage in your editor/IDE and that is not the scope of the simplecov project.

there are some small UX issues that can be worked on.

Which ones exactly?

Ouf...

@garno Please don't take a single opinion from the community as the communities voice that this is not something that is wanted and you can help with. Not sure if you actually just aren't interested in this topic anymore with all the time passed since your initial suggestion or you got discouraged, but in general I would say we can all agree that some modernization of the UI would be nice.

@klyonrad Thanks for your feedback, however I would appreciate if we could have a less discouraging / more constructive tone of discussion here than simply saying "ouf" to an honest suggestion for improvement, thanks!

Thanks @colszowka for chiming in and yes agreed. I'm still very much interested in a more modern interface @garno if you still are as well :) Hence, reopening.

@colszowka Unfortunately I migrated away from Ruby mid-2019, I still agree that a more modern UI would be lovely. I did not take a single opinion as the community voice :) The suggestion was opened for a year and a half and didn’t get any attention so I decided it might be better to just close it.

@PragTob Thanks for this lib, it’s really helpful but I won’t be able to work on this for now.

Sorry, for that. As an explanation: I personally would find bootstrap te be a big dependency that could cause a lot of complications.

Of course, I am only one voice and it very much looks like I am in the minory - that's fine. I still have the question though: What exactly is wrong or not cool with the current UI?

Hello everyone, I have been reading this as I was in the same need. Too bad it wasn't finally done in bootstrap.

I found this alternative with tailwind very well achieved I hope you find it useful.
