   @ocket8888  threw this together as a lab week project. At first, he wanted to migrate TP from angular 1.6 to angular 7 but there is no migration path and that would be a large effort/large rewrite. Plus, TP was not built with self-service in mind. It's just a bunch of tables and forms. Some of the forms (i.e. the monsterous DS form) will never work for self-service imo. It's just way too complicated.
   
   Therefore, I thought it would make more sense if he kept his scope smaller. I.e. build a UI (in angular 7), that focuses on the things required for self-service (i.e. ability to manage delivery services, users and tenants) and rethink how those things are managed. For example, maybe instead of simple (complex) forms, a wizard of some type makes more sense to simplify delivery services creation/update. I'm not sure. The point is if we start smaller with self-service in mind, we may end up with a very different UI than TP and then eventually we can port all the features from TP to this new UI......or maybe TP lives on as more of an admin tool. not sure.
