Description
Design and then test some UI designs.
Track hub functionality and workflow:
A user visits the site. The home page shows a succinct overview and summary of what the site does, via the interface.
The landing page should make it blindingly obvious what the site is for, and for whom. The landing page (the home page) should display a headline or tagline that succinctly explains what the site does. Examples of possible headlines include:
The home page should summarize and explain the purpose of the site using simple, accessible language and easy-to-understand graphics.
For example, the graphic could show a researcher sitting at a desk in the lab, looking at their computer. They see hundreds of Track Hub sites they normally would have to view using the UCSC Genome Browser, which is super-slow. Also, it only lets them view their own data if they set up a Track Hub of their own, which is hard. Thanks to the track hub converter, they can use IGB, which is faster and lets them look at their own data files without having to upload them to a server. Also, IGB lets them apply lots of different algorithms to their data, which helps them catch errors in data processing or discover new aspects of their data that purely numerical methods can't detect.
Either on the landing page or on linked page, there will be an interface where a user can enter a Track Hub URL, click a button, and then get back another URL corresponding to a Quickload site the user can then enter into IGB and use to visualize the data.
In addition, the interface will provide a way for a user to download the newly converted Quickload site as a folder package they can then open up and inspect on their local computer.
The inspiration for the site comes from YouTube-to-mp3/mp4 converters that lets users download video an audio files from YouTube.
