Task |
Description |
Bug |
Person willing |
Status |
Improve search |
Improve search and figure out a way for a better recursive search display so we fix most of the problems that weren't there with type-ahead search. We could need the views rework to show a smart new search widget |
Done except UI rework |

Better sync services/goa integration |
So we can show a custom icon in the sidebar, a progress bar, etc. This task depends relatively in the canvas view rework for be able to integrate random widgets in the canvas view/list view elements/icons. For this release we will implement the placesidebar part |

It will fix theming issues, visuals, and will improve the experience and the code |
