Summary

Summary

Introduce a new Project schema entity that serves as an encapsulation layer for different components such as flows, context variables, content, and blocks. This will enable users to manage multiple projects with distinct flows for different use cases and provide capabilities like importing/exporting projects, as everything will be encapsulated within the project.

---

🧠 Motivation

Currently, users are limited in how they can organize and manage different use cases, especially when they need to work on multiple projects concurrently. By creating a Project entity, we can:

• Provide users with the ability to manage multiple projects in parallel, each with its own unique flows and content.
• Encapsulate everything (flows, context vars, content, blocks) within a project, which simplifies data management and improves the user experience.
• Enable advanced features like import/exporting projects, giving users the ability to transfer or share entire workflows across platforms or between users.

This will allow for more flexible use cases, such as managing different types of workflows, improving modularity for users, and providing better collaboration options.

💡 Benefits

• Multiple Projects: Users can easily manage and switch between multiple projects, each with its own set of flows and context.
• Modularity: Encapsulating everything in a project allows for better organization and modular design, making workflows easier to manage.
• Import/Export: Users can easily transfer their work between platforms or share it with others.
• Customization: Each project can have its own set of flows, variables, and content, enabling tailored experiences for different use cases.
• Improved User Experience: Managing and organizing complex workflows becomes more intuitive and flexible, leading to a more seamless user experience.

---

🔚 Conclusion

Introducing a Project schema entity would significantly enhance how users manage their workflows, making it possible to handle multiple projects simultaneously, encapsulate all relevant components, and enable advanced features like importing and exporting projects. This will streamline user workflows, improve UX, and open up new opportunities for collaboration and customization.

Basic Example

Drawbacks

While introducing the Project schema entity offers many advantages, there are some challenges and trade-offs to consider:

• Migration Overhead
  Migrating existing data to fit the new Project model may require a comprehensive migration strategy. Current workflows and data structures might need significant adjustments to work with the encapsulated approach, and data consistency during migration could be a challenge.

• UI Complexity
  Managing multiple projects, especially when switching between them and handling imports/exports, could add complexity to the user interface. New features and screens will need to be carefully designed to ensure that users don’t feel overwhelmed by the extra layers of navigation and project management.
