 =============== UPGRADING NOTES =================
 
 
-
 ** NOTE: can start dev server, go to *it's* client to see a working older version of ayanova client for comparision!
 http://localhost:7575/login
 http://localhost:8080/login
 
 
+CURRENT WORK: Replace dialog, confirm etc with my own implementations as stock as possible
 
-Grid not taking 25, 99 etc, stuck at 5 initial value for rows per page and that's what fetches off the server as well
+- Currently gznotify component is working but needs to support a queue and show each one after the other times out as per specs that say only one snackbar / toast at a time
+	- more info here and some code people made to do this https://github.com/vuetifyjs/vuetify/issues/2384
 
-
-Vuetify dialog changes - https://github.com/yariksav/vuetify-dialog/issues/46
-
-DIALOG - Rethinking the dialog component I'm using, it appears to be buggy with the new vuetify version and it's a 3rd party black box of confusion at times.  Vuetify has a built in dialog, not as specialized and windows-y (alert, danger, info etc) but it could be made to work and then I'm not reliant on one more thing
-OTHER 3rd PARTY - examine any other 3rd party client stuff being used and see if can replace it with anything in Vuetify or Vue itself, less dependencies the better!
