- # UI Simplification Implementation Guide
2
-
3
- ## Overview
4
- This guide shows how to simplify the configuration interface in app.py to make it less intimidating and more space-efficient.
5
-
6
- ## Key Improvements
7
-
8
- ### 1. Simplified Variable Names
9
- Replace technical environment variable names with user-friendly alternatives:
10
-
11
- ```python
12
- # Instead of:
13
- api_key_var = gr.Textbox(
14
- label="API Key Configuration (Required)",
15
- value="OPENROUTER_API_KEY",
16
- info="Set this secret in HuggingFace Space Settings..."
17
- )
18
-
19
- # Use:
20
- api_key_var = gr.Textbox(
21
- label="API Key Name",
22
- value="MY_API_KEY",
23
- info="You'll set this in HuggingFace later"
24
- )
25
- ```
26
-
27
- ### 2. Compact Layout
28
- Reduce vertical space usage:
29
-
30
- ```python
31
- # Group related fields in rows
32
- with gr.Row():
33
- model = gr.Dropdown(
34
- label="AI Model",
35
- choices=[("Fast & Smart", "google/gemini-2.0-flash-001")],
36
- scale=2
37
- )
38
-
39
- with gr.Column(scale=1):
40
- temperature = gr.Slider(
41
- label="Creativity",
42
- minimum=0, maximum=2, value=0.7
43
- )
44
- ```
45
-
46
- ### 3. Progressive Disclosure
47
- Hide advanced options by default:
48
-
49
- ```python
50
- # Essential fields visible
51
- system_prompt = gr.Textbox(
52
- label="Assistant Instructions",
53
- placeholder="Tell your assistant how to behave...",
54
- lines=3
55
- )
56
-
57
- # Advanced settings hidden
58
- with gr.Accordion("⚙️ Advanced (Optional)", open=False):
59
- # Less common settings here
60
- ```
61
-
62
- ### 4. Friendly Labels and Descriptions
63
-
64
- **Before:**
65
- - "System Prompt" → "Assistant Instructions"
66
- - "Max Response Tokens" → "Response Length"
67
- - "Temperature" → "Creativity Level"
68
- - "Grounding URLs" → "Reference Materials"
69
- - "Enable Dynamic URL Fetching" → "Let assistant read links from chat"
70
-
71
- ### 5. Visual Hierarchy
72
- Use emojis and formatting to create clear sections:
73
-
74
- ```python
75
- gr.Markdown("## 🚀 Quick Setup")
76
- gr.Markdown("### ✨ Your Assistant")
77
- gr.Markdown("### 📎 Add Resources (Optional)")
78
- ```
79
-
80
- ## Implementation Steps
81
-
82
- ### Step 1: Update the Configuration Tab Layout
83
-
84
- Replace the current configuration section (lines 1526-1732 in app.py) with:
85
-
86
- ```python
87
- with gr.Tab("Configuration"):
88
- gr.Markdown("# 🚀 Create Your AI Assistant")
89
- gr.Markdown("Set up your custom assistant in just a few steps!")
90
-
91
- with gr.Column():
92
- # Simplified model selection
93
- model = gr.Dropdown(
94
- label="Choose Assistant Type",
95
- choices=[
96
- ("Fast & Smart (Recommended)", "google/gemini-2.0-flash-001"),
97
- ("Advanced Analysis", "anthropic/claude-3.5-haiku"),
98
- ("Code Specialist", "mistralai/devstral-small")
99
- ],
100
- value="google/gemini-2.0-flash-001"
101
- )
102
-
103
- # Main configuration card
104
- with gr.Group():
105
- gr.Markdown("### ✨ Configure Your Assistant")
106
-
107
- # Template selector at top
108
- template_selector = gr.Radio(
109
- label="Start with a template or create custom",
110
- choices=[
111
- ("Custom", "None"),
112
- ("Study Helper", "Research Template"),
113
- ("Teacher", "Socratic Template")
114
- ],
115
- value="None",
116
- type="value"
117
- )
118
-
119
- system_prompt = gr.Textbox(
120
- label="How should your assistant behave?",
121
- placeholder="Example: You are a friendly tutor who explains concepts clearly...",
122
- lines=3
123
- )
124
-
125
- examples_text = gr.Textbox(
126
- label="Starter Questions (one per line)",
127
- placeholder="What can you help me with?\nExplain this concept",
128
- lines=2
129
- )
130
-
131
- # Collapsible sections for optional features
132
- with gr.Accordion("📎 Add Resources (Optional)", open=False):
133
- url1 = gr.Textbox(
134
- label="Main Reference",
135
- placeholder="https://course-website.edu"
136
- )
137
- url2 = gr.Textbox(
138
- label="Additional Reference",
139
- placeholder="https://textbook.com"
140
- )
141
-
142
- enable_dynamic_urls = gr.Checkbox(
143
- label="Let assistant read links from conversations",
144
- value=True
145
- )
146
-
147
- with gr.Accordion("🔐 Security (Optional)", open=False):
148
- api_key_var = gr.Textbox(
149
- label="API Key Name",
150
- value="MY_API_KEY",
151
- info="Simple name for your API key"
152
- )
153
-
154
- access_code = gr.Textbox(
155
- label="Access Password Name",
156
- value="SPACE_PASSWORD",
157
- info="Only if you want a private space"
158
- )
159
-
160
- # Action buttons
161
- with gr.Row():
162
- preview_btn = gr.Button("👁️ Preview", variant="secondary")
163
- generate_btn = gr.Button("�� Create Assistant", variant="primary", size="lg")
164
- ```
165
-
166
- ### Step 2: Add Mobile-Responsive CSS
167
-
168
- Add this CSS to make the form work well on all screen sizes:
169
-
170
- ```css
171
- /* Add to the CSS section */
172
- .gradio-container {
173
- max-width: 800px !important;
174
- margin: 0 auto;
175
- }
176
-
177
- /* Compact spacing */
178
- .form { gap: 0.75rem !important; }
179
-
180
- /* Mobile responsive */
181
- @media (max-width: 768px) {
182
- .gradio-container { padding: 1rem !important; }
183
- button { width: 100%; }
184
- .gr-row { flex-direction: column !important; }
185
- }
186
- ```
187
-
188
- ### Step 3: Simplify Success Messages
189
-
190
- Update the success message (around line 1173):
191
-
192
- ```python
193
- success_msg = f"""✅ **Your assistant is ready!**
194
-
195
- **Next steps:**
196
- 1. Download your package below
197
- 2. Create a new Space at [huggingface.co/spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces)
198
- 3. Upload the files
199
- 4. Add your API key: `{api_key_var}` = your OpenRouter key
200
-
201
- **That's it! Your assistant will be live in 2 minutes.**
202
- """
203
- ```
204
-
205
- ## Benefits
206
-
207
- 1. **Less Intimidating**: Friendly language and clear hierarchy
208
- 2. **Faster Setup**: Essential fields visible, advanced hidden
209
- 3. **Mobile Friendly**: Works on phones and tablets
210
- 4. **Clearer Purpose**: Users understand what each field does
211
- 5. **Progressive Disclosure**: Complexity revealed only when needed
212
-
213
- ## Testing the Simplified UI
214
-
215
- 1. **Desktop View**: Ensure all elements fit without scrolling
216
- 2. **Mobile View**: Test on phone-sized screens
217
- 3. **Tablet View**: Verify responsive layout
218
- 4. **Quick Setup**: Time how long it takes to fill out
219
- 5. **User Testing**: Get feedback from non-technical users
220
-
221
- ## Variable Name Mapping
222
-
223
- For backward compatibility, map friendly names to technical ones:
224
-
225
- ```python
226
- # In generate_zip function
227
- var_mapping = {
228
- "MY_API_KEY": "OPENROUTER_API_KEY",
229
- "SPACE_PASSWORD": "SPACE_ACCESS_CODE",
230
- "TEACHER_PASSWORD": "FACULTY_CONFIG_PASSWORD"
231
- }
232
-
233
- # Use the technical name in the generated code
234
- actual_var = var_mapping.get(api_key_var, api_key_var)
235
- ```
236
-
237
- This ensures the generated spaces still work correctly while presenting friendly names to users.
