All the moderators of Public Lab can also review this UI, features and can give their feedback. It will be very useful for this.
Thanks!! 😃

@keshavsethi from where did you design the mockup. It looks really nice and clean!!

[ananyaarun]

@keshavsethi Very well structured !! It shows you have a great understanding of the goals of your project which is very good 😃
Are you planning to start with UI improvements and bulk moderation aspects from this list first ?
Also while working keep updating this list and if you find any easy issues especially under UI improvements like responsiveness and minor design changes do make a few newcomer issues out of them. Thanks !!

[pydevsg]

Hey @keshavsethi , the planning seems really great for me . As suggested by @ananya do update the list while working on them. Create issues accordingly and feel free to ping or tag whenever you need help. All the best 💯 .

[cesswairimu]

This looks great 🎉 🎉 Thanks @keshavsethi for opening this 🚀

[jywarren]

This is a great start, and I've brought it to the PL staff's attention for some input! We will also spend some time next Tuesday discussing and writing feedback. Thanks a ton!!!

You can also create a milestone for all this as the issues start to be broken out!

[SidharthBansal]

Awesome planning issue @keshavsethi

[jywarren]

Hi, just chiming in that perhaps the UI section and bulk moderation section might need some system tests to ensure stability of those features! More feedback coming soon!!!

[keshavsethi]

Sure @jywarren, I have made one UI issue and made one PR related to that. Can you please give your reviews.
Thanks!!

[emilyashley]

Good morning! Just wanted to let you know a few of us Public Lab staff members are looking over this today and I'll be collecting the feedback. Thank you so much!

[jywarren]

Hi! we've left some good notes on process (breaking work into separate PRs/milestones, using a "shadow" page like /spam2, etc) in the PR here: #7928. But I also wanted to suggest that we try to get @ebarry or others to video their usage of the current page so that @keshavsethi has good understanding of the nuances of how it currently works. Let's try to coordinate this and @keshavsethi will have more context for the changes that will be occuring!

Thanks, @keshavsethi !
