Ideas to improve UI (HTML & PDF)

[fraxken]

Hello 👋

There is a lot of room to improve that project, however it kinda hard to make definitive issues about things to improve (since it highly depend on UI ideas ..).

Here some of my ideas:

Improving Authors & Maintainers section

Current section doesn't bring much values (has we only see some avatars in the PDF). I think a list would be better here (with maybe a podium with the top 3 maintainers?).

Having list of impacted files and packages for others graphics

Most graphics allow to get a global overview of the situation. However it could be cool to allow the user to configure in RC if he want to be alerted of few things, for example:

• Please show me the list of files (and packages) with extension .exe
• Please show me the packages with warnings obfuscated-code or shady-link

Add missing metrics from Scanner payload

• Number of minified files (overall / by packages)
• Missing dependencies
• Vulnerabilities

Other ideas that I have on top of my mind right now:

• Revamp packages list and add few informations (emojis, scorecard score ..)
• Add SPDX conformance to licenses (maybe remove the graph and create a new way to visualize like CLI?)

• take advantage of desktop viewport.
• revise the color palette, keeping saturation consistent.
• add aesthetic animations (hover, shadow etc...)
• add animations of expand/collapse blocks (details & summary html tags)
• sort dependencies in descending order of flags number.
• click on a chart such as unsafe regex(40) to redirect to the list of 40 dependencies:
  • highlight them in the list
  • or filter them directly
  • do the same for flags warnings License and extensions
• add a quick filter (multiple checkboxes) on flags icons, in each dependency list.
