We would like to have an easily-usable interface for exercising all recommendation types.
This should be a matter of extending the current GapFinder tool following the design documents for incorporating other recommendation types.

To expand a bit on Leila's comment, I think this task encompasses the work of adding a Recommendation Type selection to the app. Since this basically involves adding a node at the root of the tree and shifting everything else appropriately, there is a fair amount of work involved. The end result should be a more flexible tool that is able to have new recommendation types added without much effort.
@leila It was my understanding that Research wanted a tool that could exercise the different Recommendation Types as described in the design doc. This can be accomplished by adding a selector for the Recommendation Type and either building the interface dynamically based on shared components, or navigating to a copy-pasted-adapted version specific to that type. The latter option is not maintainable long-term, so the work I've been doing has been focused on decoupling all the components of the app, and then composing them in an organized fashion based on the specs provided by the Recommendation Types' APIs.
The design doc is for edit recommendation, not read recommendations, @schana. While the read recommendations may use the same design as edit recommendations, if we want to do more work in read recommendations, I suggest that we ask for Pau's input for a design for that purpose.
@Pginer-WMF We're looking to extend the use of https://recommend.wmflabs.org to include additional recommendation types. Because the new type we intend to add provides reading recommendations (in the form of articles related to a seed provided by the user) instead of edit recommendations, we were wondering if you could provide input on if/how the design that was created for GapFinder should change to accommodate the new purpose. There is currently a modified version of GapFinder to serve this purpose available (http://tools.wmflabs.org/readmore/), but we're looking to have a single app instead of creating individual instances for every type.
