[Potential Improvement] Referencing "above list" on Senator/Representative screens when list is on previous page

Open jsoberg opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hey all! My first time using the app, I was viewing an issue and selected one of my senators:

I was initially confused by the [REFER TO THE ABOVE LIST... text, as this screen doesn't have a list displaying how this particular representative voted on the matter. I now know that the list of senator votes is actually on the previous page when you scroll down:

I know that this is just an API response, but if this [REFER TO THE ABOVE LIST... text is static on each response, could we attempt to parse it and replace it with some other localized text (e.g. [REFER TO THE LIST ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE TO FIND HOW YOUR SENATOR VOTED]), depending on if we can ascertain it's a senator/attorney general/congressional rep? Like I said this is my first time using the app, so there might be caveats/edge cases where this wouldn't make sense - any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @jsoberg, I appreciate the feedback. I know this is confusing right now. We're working on a better way to indicate how your rep voted in scripts here, feel free to weigh in if you have thoughts: https://github.com/5calls/ios/issues/462

I think we could also let the issue writers know that not everything is displayed in the same page in Android -- maybe they can phrase it differently for now. Like "the list in the issue description" or something.
