Feedback from Conferences?

Do you have any additional feedback from the conferences you recently spoke at?

Hi @jzf2101, Here's some general feedback from using the demo at PyCon Poland.

I followed pretty much the demo that @jasongrout did at SciPy. The area that gave me the most difficulty was that I couldn't remember the keyboard shortcuts for many of the commands (especially those not accessible from the menu bar). Although I had the keypresses in my speaker notes, A/V issues prevented me from having access to the notes.

I'm not sure how to resolve this in the demo. Perhaps a cheatsheet with the keyboard shortcuts (in a large font) would help. I would print it out and have next to my laptop.

A nice enhancement would be to have a GIF that shows small elements of the demo that could be linked to from a slidedeck (for the user to view after the talk).

See jupyterlab/jupyterlab#3005 as followup

@willingc what parts of the demo are you thinking of turning into GIFs?

@jzf2101 I would do short 10-20 second GIFs to correspond to the slides at the end of this talk (Page 48 starts the JupyterLab demo) https://www.slideshare.net/willingc/python-and-jupyter-your-gateway-for-learning

@jzf2101 and I talked today earlier about the user documentation for JupyterLab (in its regular Sphinx/RTD build). One idea that came up was to have a section on the high-profile feature of JupyterLab - guided by the demo/talks we have been giving. We have a Dropbox Paper document (Project Jupyter Docs/UI/UX Design folder) we are going to use to brainstorm on what the user documentation for lab would look like. It may be that narrative text with screenshots and/or GIFs would be a good way of encoding those features in the user docs.

@ellisonbg That sounds great!

@jzf2101 Take a look at the nbgrader docs if you haven't already. Jess did a nice job with integrating GIFs into the docs.
