Distributed chart repo display color configs? about hub HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for writing this up, Scott! One issue with this is that the Monocular currently gets the name and URL of the repo from the arguments passed to chart-repo: https://github.com/helm/monocular/blob/master/cmd/chart-repo/sync.go#L28. Whilst we could add the colour as a third argument, it might be a bit strange to have that as an argument in the chart-repo command. We could instead have a way of passing arbitrary additional metadata to be included in the repo struct it stores in MongoDB.

This could cause a turf war over company "owned" colors, and maybe confuse seeing one company's green as more ready to go than another company's red color ¯(ツ)/¯.

This point does concern me a bit, it would be simpler to show all repos with the same colour (removing the current distinction between stable/incubator and non-stable/incubator) and avoid this entirely.

Ah I see the grey is only on the earlier kubeapps implementation. Yes I agree, this seems important to keep. OK closing this, glad we have the discussion for reference in case we ever want to revisit or reference 👍

@prydonius I agree 💯

I suppose we should keep this issue open till that's done, or until someone offers a better idea 🙂

So actually Monocular only makes a distinction between the incubator repo and other repos (marking it red instead of blue). This can be seen here: https://hub.helm.sh/. Kubeapps Hub is a little different here in that in distinguishes between stable, incubator and other repos.

I kind of like that the incubator repository is marked red, it might help point out that it is not recommended to be used?
