ui/ux stuff

curation

• entity editing on separate pages:

  • /entities/new
  • entities/[id]/edit

• entitiy editing should be possible anywhere an entity is listed (via link to /edit page)

• entity creation should be possible in the context of a collection (i.e. add a new entity to a collection)

• edit/create pages have a section for entity attributes

  • note that vocabulary based fields should also accept creating new vocabulary entries (with ids), which only exist locally - this is relevant for e.g. occupations, relation roles, etc.

• edit/create pages list all events connected to the entity, and allow editing these events, or adding newly created events (open question: should it also be possible to add existing events, i.e. connect an existing event to the entity which is currently being edited). it should also be possible, when a specific event is selected, to add additional existing entities. on this screen it should be possible to create new entities so they can be connected to the event, but only with rudimentary information (i.e. label only). these newly created entities would be saved in a "New entities" collection, so they can be found later in order to be edited fully on a entities/:id/edit screen.

• question: do we also need edit/create pages for events?

shared collection panel

• should be accessible on every main screen as a sidepanel (not as a modal overlay) - like in vscode
• collection select, with default pre-created collection
• collection create btn
• drop target for search results (on search screen)
• drag start for entities+events in collection (on vas/scr screens)
• should be possible to remove entries from collection on every screen (i guess via menu > remove)
