[HydraTeam] [EXTERNAL] A quick question concerning React used in Hydra

[Yury Malyshkin]

Hello Thomas,


Thanks a lot for explaining! Yes, I have talked already to Torri, it was 
very useful. My role in JUNO is to coordinate the Data Quality group, 
which does not mean to be responsible for the actual development of the 
monitoring tools, but more to make sure it contains everything we need. 
Apart from physics-wise requirement, I want to push to have some 
interactivity in our event displays, and to give some extra tools for 
shifters' convenience. My impression is that Hydra is a good example to 
learn from. Not sure that people, who are already working on their own 
web-interfaces, will be happy to switch on something else immediately, 
but I will tell them about Hydra anyway. As a minimum, I want to 
encourage them to learn from your experience.


Best regards,
Yury
