Vendia was very simple to use. I personally would find it helpful to see who changed a book in the âHistoryâ tab of a book instead of having to go all the way back home and then go to the âTransactionsâ tab. Other than that it is very user friendly and like the tools available.

I could honestly see schools using this so people have a list ready and available of books they should read. I did this with dark reader and it worked perfectly.

The instructions were pretty straightforward, I did run into a couple issues that were probably user error.
The first thing I did was mess up the json that copied over from the instructions. I missed a curly brace and didnât notice the little red squigglies that indicated that there was a syntax error in the json. The node was in the âspinning upâ state for a couple minutes before it switched to an âerrorâ state. I didnât see a way to edit the json for the existing node, so I just deleted it and tried to create a new one, but I was unable to immediately do so. My incorrectly configured node was in the process of being deleted, and it wouldnât let me create a âsecondâ node. Is it possible to allow a second node to be created as soon as the delete process starts for the first node? Having to wait a few minutes is a friction point. Also, a pop-up or other notification that there appears to be syntax errors in the json when the user submits would have saved me a little bit of trouble.
Also, on my system, I wasnât able to view the âversion historyâ thatâs in the guide document. Iâm on firefox 96.0.3 for Arch Linux. Probably not a common enough configuration for yâall to worry about directly supporting, but I wanted to notify you all the same.
Overall, very interesting technology that Iâm looking forward to digging into a little deeper.

Hi Juan,
Thanks so much for running through the exercise!
Thanks for also sharing your feedback on viewing a bookâs history. Iâll take that back to our product team. Donât be shy - if you have any other thoughts please let us know.

Thatâs a great idea @aalestra . Weâve had conversations with publishing companies around the same idea. What if all the databases Sac State students have access to were accessible from a single interface? And with the ability to link content/sources/etc. dynamically across those databases.
Maybe some day soon!

Hi @jemorgan - Thanks for running through the exercise and offering feedback of your experience.
Iâll work with our dev team to make sure folks canât create a Uni from invalid JSON. I get the frustration of not being able to create a new Uni while one is being deleted. Itâs a limitation of Vendia Shareâs free tier - we cap the number of Unis at 1 and nodes at 2[1]. Also, keep in mind that you canât reuse the same Uni name for a period of time depending on the name you use. If it starts with the string test- that time is 15min. If itâs anything else itâs 90 days[2].
Iâll also check with the team to find out if thereâs anything that wouldâve prevented your ability to view version history given your OS and browser.

Vendia was super easy to navigate and use. The user interface design seemed super well thought out because I did not feel lost at all when using it. Overall, I had no problems and everything seemed to flow well!
