Those suggestions look good to me, however I would strongly urge that they get improvements committed in an incremental way over the course of the 3 months rather than building a replacement to try to swap at the end.

Having a more straightforward logic between our new endpoints and the views would solve this issue. I wish this were the case, but I think the two factors are (1) the majority of contributors don't feel they have the skills needed for "frontend" work and (2) currently no companies employing anyone to work on the UI (the CLI has suffered for this reason as well). If the logic can be more straightforward somehow then I'm a +1 (different js framework? or do we need to improve the way we use angular?). I don't have experience with other js frameworks to see how vue.js claims a lower learning curve :) Armand and/or Tomek, do you want to be the mentor(s)? I would be happy to help / meet / discuss / etc. On Tue, Apr 10, 2018 at 5:30 AM, Armand Grillet <agril...@mesosphere.io> wrote: > Hi, > > I agree with submitting a project concerning the Mesos UI.
