Is it possible re-design Admin area using Angular Js? We haven't thought about it yet.
But I can say that most probably with go with AdminLTE. Looks like it's the only actively developed theme today (although there were no commits for the last two months as well). So still thinking about it
If you go AngularJS you should consider their own UI component framework Angular Material: https://material.angularjs.org/latest/
It also have free admin themes: http://startangular.com/product/flatlogic-angular-material-dashboard/
I don't think we should do angular in this time frame as Angular 2.0 still on beta and it won't be backward compatible to 1.x (100% different) on which most components are being developed, so all components must be rewritten the whole thing when Google release the new version.
not to say, Angular 2.x doesn't look as good as Aurelia.io
Its a good thing to redesign admin! That was one of first demands from my clients to redesign and shorten product edit page. One thing that annoyed them was so much scrolling for publish/unpublish product. So, we concentrated all stuff which matters to them in top of the page.
Second thought, as almost anyone nowadays, who runs online business has 22 inch+ monitor, we can go wide on screen real estate :)
Also more used and more important properties should be on top. Less frequently accessed should be on bottom.
I would like to hear the opinion of the suitability of our design is functional and stated therein. (MAL) Multiple Applications License allows you to distribute, but you can not sell. Now the main functional
Some thoughts on admin area simplification. 1) We all came to the conclusion that it must be simple as possible. The current nopCommerce admin area seems to dazzle the user with the variety of functions. Yes, we are very rich in functions but it is disorienting for the first-time user, even with experience in eCommerce. 2) We must shorten the user’s way to basic functions by adding them to the admin’s front page, but the variety of functions should be appearing in one-click. We can go two ways here:
1. Making Basic (most handy functions) and Advanced views. 2. Making Basic View expandable with custom user-chosen boxes
3) In my POV, the long scrollable pages must go. Totally inconvenient.
4) We can do the function search box. With the drop-down list of suggested functions when the user types first letters. That would be very convenient.
5) Hints and hovers would be handy too.
6) From the far perspective, but also very useful. We can make some inner service or functionality for A\B testing for store owners.
Next I want to stress out the process of choosing. So we chose the theme, the functionality, simplify it, apply our best practices. Then we must test our hypothesis on some focus groups from store owners, get their opinion and implement changes based on their experience.
