Separate Views from Apps

Oleg Kuzmenkov

The View is a place where all work happens.

Problem:

Now views are hidden inside of the hierarchy Solutions/App/Views/ViewABC. A view can contain data from different Apps. A view can represent a pipeline process that involves different people and uses data from different Apps.

There is no way to switch between views in one click
There is no way to see all views in the solution
It is not easy to figure out in which app view is located

Proposed solution:

Separate views from apps

a. App is just a DB with data

b. View is a representation of data from different Apps

c. While Apps just store data, Views help us to get work done

Make all views 1-click accessible on the Solution level (Like Apps)

I believe that view should be under Solution in the hierarchy. Apps should not contain views and should be renamed in DB or Tables

I like how fibery.io do that

I definitely think there is some merit to this level of thinking. I do find myself "losing" multi-app views. In an MVC framework you definitely have the Model (or App in SS case) separated from but informing the View. I imagine Automations in a well-oiled SS implementation would e the Controller part.
