Improving the experience of the portkey product

At a glance
Small Suggestion mostly around improving experience of PortKey product -
  • Could we replace the pagination with infinite scroll? Makes it very simple to scroll.
  • Also, some easy way to navigate between the logs. Can we pre-load "previous"/"next" log when I have opened "current" log. It makes experience very smooth.

On thinking more on this -> I probably only want to a specific timestamp.
1/2/3/.../51 is very vague and does not tell me which exact timestamp I will go. I am seeing Infinite scroll as another way to navigate to the timestamp of my choice (since I can see timestamp while scrolling).

I am not a designer but that's just want my intuition says 😅 .
@Siddharth Bulia trying to brainstorm

  • if you use the arrow keys to navigate through logs, you’ll notice that we do preload logs. Try it out
  • for date scrolling, maybe try date filters? It’s the classic browse vs search theory.
Infinite scrolling for logs can be very inefficient, but pagination isn’t great either. I usually use filters heavily to narrow down to what I’m looking for.

I just tried this using the arrow keys. But still, more than 80% of time - it does not load when I move to the next one..

Also, the UI state does not stay the same when I go back and forth.
Example - I typically want to look at entire prompt and want to compare. Whenever I go back and forth -> I need to again click on "Show More". That breaks the experience.

for date scrolling, maybe try date filters? It’s the classic browse vs search theory.
Trying to brainstorm here - can we have a hotkey for timestamp filter? Like superhuman? Eg - I just press "t" > type 5pm -> it takes me to logs of 5pm.


Having said all this, Portkey is still primarily "Gateway to AI world". These experience features can be incorporated later in the journey once after all AI features are developed!
Also, I will love quick grouping by metadata.
I am already using it right now to compare the cost across different runs. Can do it for log browsing as well.
