Feature: Display currently running jobs under Jobs link about laminar HOT 8 CLOSED

This seems reasonable. I think I would do it without an explicit section break so as not to waste space in the common case where there are no active jobs, in the same way as it appears on the home page. I'll experiment a bit and see how it looks

The difficulty I'm having with this is it causes a kind of inconsistent layout. The purpose of the Jobs page is to be able to quickly find a job (by name or tag). With your proposal, the job I'm looking for might be on the top of the page if Laminar is idle, or half-way down the page if it's busy. This means an extra scanning step to find the job I want, and worse, if a new job starts or an active one finishes, the layout will jump, which would be annoying if you were about to click.

I think that's acceptable on the home page, where the point is to get a general overall status, but on the Jobs page I think this would be an overall negative impact on the user experience, so I prefer not to implement it exactly as you describe it.

However, as mentioned in #8, currently the Jobs page doesn't at all reflect whether a job is currently active or not. I should at least display that in the existing row (without layout changes)

OK, no problem :) I like it with or without this feature.

With d3e4db1, the jobs page now updates job rows with their running status

Oliver, I cannot see running job being listed on the /jobs page.

It seems to be working for me:

It is again a corner case when it is the first job ever run on the server.

Corner case should be now fixed with 2214bef
