Kedro: GUI to handle workflow

[bensdm]

Description

Kedro is an amazing tool. However i am wasting time handling dataset inputs ouputs. It would be great if it was possible to do this with a GUI as it is possible in kelp for instance

Possible Implementation

We can maybe use kedro viz to not only visualize but also modify the pipeline

Hi @bensdm! Thank you for this great suggestion. I would like to find out more about your feature request. What would you like to be able to do on this GUI?

[bensdm]

Would be great if it was possible to generate the different pipeline.py files thanks to this GUI: specify func, inputs, outputs for and group nodes into pipeline.

Using drag and drop like in kelp

I'd like to join this request :)
Kedro is a great tool, but for me manual creation of various node combinations is quite exhausting, especially when I have to run a lot of tests. Kedro viz is a great baseline, but it would be lovely if it had a bit more interactivity, like:

• mentioned above drag-and-drop feature
• hyperparams grid search
• automated node replacement (for a case I have a group of similarly working nodes and I'd like to find out which is the best)
• "launch pipeline" button (as well as partial pipelines separately) + some feedback like results logging
• a thing that really messes with me - possibility to exclude some nodes from pipeline. Currently I even cannot just comment out them from code, because the restriction on uniqueness of input/output names, and I have to keep two sets of names and keep 'em consistent along all pipeline.

Anyways, Kedro already helps me a lot, so thank you for it!

Thank you so much for the feedback on this! We have something in mind that we'd like to look into for 2021 around this. In the meanwhile, please also check out the latest version of Kedro-Viz, we're moving into the code viewer domain with the addition of our new side panel which will eventually expand to show code.
