Now the repository list is +included, above the transfers. I found I was spending a lot of time +switching between the dashboard and repository list, so might as well +combine them into a single screen. Yesod's type safe urls and widgets +made this quite easy to do, despite it being a thousand line commit. +Liking the result ... Even though it does make all my screencasts dated. + +[[!img /assistant/dashboard.png]] + +---- + +Rest of my time was spent on XMPP pairing UI. Using the same pages for both +pairing with a friend and for self-pairing was confusing, so now the two +options are split. + +Now every time an XMPP git push is received or sent, it checks if there's +a cloud repository configured, which is needed to send the contents of +files. If not, it'll display this alert. Hopefully this +will be enough to get users fully set up. + +[[!img /assistant/cloudnudge.png]] + +At this point I'm finally happy enough with the XMPP pairing + cloud +repository setup process to film a screencast of it. As soon as I have +some time & bandwidth someplace quiet. Expect one by the end of the month.
