# 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.
