Prequistes for solving this issue :

Only use of imagination and creativity required !

Issue :

This library uses a button to change layers :

Lets try to figure out a new , interesting and easy-to-use way to toggle layers !

Possible ideas (open to other solutions as well 😄 ):

• side menu ?
• scrollable bar (with slideshow type of buttons) ?

This was added to the GCI dashboard!

I did some brainstorming and came up with this! (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1TCZoTfuhamRVrUak8aDgqJAwSgyhRtZg2Pgacl2_4zc/edit#slide=id.g4e2261b4b2_0_0)

But also, perhaps we can start color coding all the layers so that we can show a simple color key as well... it won't work for all layers but for those that have markers!

[jywarren]

Maybe like this or something:

This might mean we really need to store the bounding boxes of each layer, so that we can display only ones which have data for the current view.

Also linking this to the MapKnitter design process here: publiclab/mapknitter#327

Also noting @jonathanxu1's work in #61 --

[jywarren]

I think we could use some of @jonathanxu1's design ideas in the table view as well. I especially like the icons. We could use some from the Noun Project, maybe.

Closing in favor of new menu ideas in #232
