I totally agree with you. I have some ideas in mind and I will post them here when they are done.

@ketang what do you think about these?

I think this is a significant improvement. A few notes:

• do we need the "agent" column for a stopped workspace?
• the kubernetes_deployment in the mock shows Connected; is that just a mock artifact?
• I feel bad saying this to someone named "Bruno," but I think brown is rarely an attractive color on computer screens
• What do you think of a border, background, and/or text highlight on the workspace name to indicate status?
• the pills holding status, organization, and user name are all similar in appearance, which makes it harder to tell which is which.
• this also implies they're of equal importance in the UI, but this page is usually going to be viewed by the owner, who presumably knows their name and organization

do we need the "agent" column for a stopped workspace?

No, I think we can remove it.

the kubernetes_deployment in the mock shows Connected; is that just a mock artifact?

Yes 😆

I feel bad saying this to someone named "Bruno," but I think brown is rarely an attractive color on computer screens

lol np, when you say "brown" are you talking about the stopped status color? I don't link it too much as well but since we are using a dark theme, the best is to use a darker yellow as the background for the chip.

What do you think of a border, background, and/or text highlight on the workspace name to indicate status?

I can try some options and see what looks better

the pills holding status, organization, and user name are all similar in appearance, which makes it harder to tell which is which.

I agree, I will see if I can solve this.

this also implies they're of equal importance in the UI, but this page is usually going to be viewed by the owner, who presumably knows their name and organization

I agree 2x

when you say "brown" are you talking about the stopped status color?

Yes, exactly.

• I tried the borders and font color and didn't work well honestly, but if you have strong feelings about that, could you mock something? So I can better understand how you see it
• I made two versions, one with the badge on the side of the title and another, on top of it
• I removed the pills from the secondary info like template and owner

I liked both, but I feel the "top" version works better since it is the first info the user sees on the page 🤔

I tried the borders and font color and didn't work well honestly, but if you have strong feelings about that

No worries. I was just brainstorming.

I don't have a clear opinion about the two alternatives you presented. I think they're both good. One thing that I do observe is that the second mockup, with the status above the title, is that it results in a third, otherwise empty row, which may not be ideal. However, that's a smaller detail, and I think both are successful at achieving the initial improvement I was asking for.

@Kira-Pilot makes a good point in Slack that we don't know how long the workspace name will be, so putting the pill above is better. I also wonder if we could put the pill above and right-justified, so it's over the button that changes workspace status...but maybe that makes it less obvious to left-to-right readers like us.

@presleyp I played around with the idea and I don't think it is bad... I kinda liked it, but it looks a bit "unexpected". Thoughts?

I like the top best but it doesn't look bad right-justified either!

Eye tracking heat maps indicate that top left is highest salience, so I think we should prefer that for this high importance datum.

Yeah I think top left is fine or if you go with top right I feel like it should be as large as the Stop button.
