Release notes
Problem to solve
The runner registration process currently forces the user to register a runner through the CLI. It is the only step in the runner process that requires leaving the UI (unless you are reading documentation). The experience is separated and does not provide immediate feedback once registration is successful in the CLI - you have to come back to the UI, and refresh the page in order to see the newly registered runners.
Intended users
User experience goal
The goal would be to combine these experiences in one place, which ideally would be the UI.
Proposal
We could move the registration process into a form in the UI, prompting the user the same questions/fields and then immediately providing feedback that the runner is registered in the runner list. That way, registration, additional actions like resetting the registration token, removing runners, viewing/editing runners, are all in a single place.
Further details
We don't have any research to backup this assumption that the registration process needs to be improved, so this would require some problem validation at the least. Also, it would require discussion on whether this is even possible from implementation.
