Have the UI flag when an app is on the prototype stage about glean-dictionary HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes, I can implement adding the pill next to the prototype apps, similar to #112

from glean-dictionary.

An app can be flagged on the UI which is on the prototype stage by:

1. Adding an asterisk on the end of the app name which will be only rendered if the value of app.prototype is true, for eg: glean-js*

2. Adding a label (color red) after the list of apps which shows * Application under developement

Hey @singhvaishnavi thanks for the proposal! On 1., do you mean to add such asterisk on the dropdown list? Like so:

Personally I don't think it is necessary to add it in the dropdown, this could be a banner on the app's page. This way, when the user reaches the prototype app's dictionary page they are immediatelly warned that they are looking at a prototype app. Something sort of like this (haven't thought too much here about the text or layout, just a draft):

@wlach Since this would require UI changes, would you mind taking a look and telling us what you think about the proposed solutions?

Now that I think about it, a more drastic solution would be to just not list prototype apps at all on the Glean Dictionary, I wonder if there is any value to showing them. That would mean doing to prototypes the same thing we are doing to deprecated apps (see #53).

Hi @brizental @singhvaishnavi -- the first screenshot @brizental posted is not applicable (that was an older version of the Glean/Probe dictionary which focused more on metrics).

However! I think the second screenshot (with its warning text) is exactly what we'd want on the app page (http://localhost:5000/#!/apps/glean-js). On the index page (http://localhost:5000/), you can flag applications that are prototypes using the same technique @JoyLubega used in #112 (putting a "pill" next to the application)

Does that help?

Oops, I didn't realize we had a new UI.

Definitely, this makes a lot of sense.

@singhvaishnavi Do you think you can go ahead with the implementation after this discussion?
