Move UI for MapBox GeoData Cloud #926
Comments
I think we're gonna need to do this as we expand the data browser to include more than just shapefiles. I think it should also be at the top. I could see this working in the following way:

Cool ideas. We should define the idea of MapBox data a little more before making UI decisions about it. This is actionable once there is a plan for making MapBox data section navigable enough to be "the default" method of adding data. The big one @dhcole already mentioned: metadata that explains what you are looking at. |
Not sure if this is the best approach, just an idea - let me restate the problem:
Thoughts? |
As a n00b, the current MapBox layers are too buried & definitely seem out of place in "files." Cloud should be on the same level as File / dbflava1 / dbflava2. For that matter, so should favorites - what if 1 of my faves is a PG db, one is a local file, etc. For that matter, if "File" is a top level segmentation, why have two separate "db" items listed? Recommended top level: And, on this point, I'm not sure the average newbie user understands the difference across "dos-lsib-201109," "natural-earth-1.3.0," and "natural-earth-1.4.0." |
Also, I understand the interest in figuring out the larger "correct" answer, but I'd encourage making some small changes sooner. |

What do you two think about moving the link to MapBox's Cloud out where more people will see it?
