[UX] Suggested changes in how to launch a specific jupyterlab server profile #512
Description
Context
I'm an experienced Nebari user, but couldn't figure out how to launch a specific instance size at first. When you click on the menu icon and then Start, it starts the default instance size for you.
When you click on the card, a pop up shows up and then you are taken to an instance selection page after clicking Start.
Discussing this @kcpevey and @dharhas we all found this unintuitive. I have a few possible improvement suggestions, but I'm sure there are other solutions that could improve the situation. I suggest you do one of the following:
- Include a "Choose instance" in the pop up that opens after you click on the menu icon which would take you to the instance selection page.
- Make the "Start" in the pop up that opens after clicking on the menu take users to the menu selection page rather than starting the default server size.
I also don't see any value in having the "Server Not Running" pop up after clicking on the JupyterLab card. I think you should just go directly to the server selection page if no instance is running.
