CircleCI new UI/UX Review

What would be amazing is:

  • ability to define that a workflow can be manually triggered (just like i can with github actions), but not only manually triggered but i get prompted to type in parameters (just like i can with github actions). No the re-run with SSH is not enough and actually not at all helpful in most cases, because by the time i’ve actually landed in the ssh session the situation has been polluted by subsequent steps. which leads me to …

  • when I re-run with ssh, give me the option to pause all steps until i run circle_ci_step.sh in the ssh terminal, which only runs the next pending step. Yes i want this to step through all the steps and inspect what is going on at each step.

  • a separate view that shows all my scheduled runs, and the planned upcoming runs . Side affect of this is that it helps me see that when and how my circleci.yml affects scheduled runs. (I don’t need you to answer when and how here in this thread because that’s not actually useful a year down the track when my co-workers don’t feel like looking through every one of your forum posts to understand)
