Description
There are few ways we could improve the UI/UX of how operations get connected:
- For outputs we could use something like a triangle pointing out of the operation to give the sense that it represents data moving outwards. Regular (final) outputs would be on the bottom of the box pointing down, while stream outputs would be on the right side of the box pointing rightwards.
- The color of stream outputs should be the same as regular outputs since there's no difference in what they can be connected to. Maybe stream outputs can be distinguished with a different kind of icon, e.g. overlapping triangles
>>to indicate that multiple outputs may come out of it. - It might make more sense for Fork Result to have a separate output slot for
OkversusError. MaybeErrorcan go on the left or right side whileOkis on the bottom. - It might be good to use a different output connector icon for operations that allow an arbitrary number of outputs, like Fork Clone and Split. Maybe an icon that's a cluster of circles or something to indicate that many connections are allowed.
- Buffer Access would probably be easier to understand if it had a separate input slot icons for input messages (white) versus buffers (purple).
It should also allow multiple input message connections, but at the moment is seems to block any attempt to connect a second input message to it.
