Card UI feedback tracker
Hey @Xeio, I thought it would be nice to have a general issue for tracking feedback on the new UI + linking individual issues to it so that its more visible + more organized and easier to track. Let me know if you think this is not needed
Overall
- Map is redundant if user knows the locations (https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/pull/162)
- New look is too bloated for narrow window users (https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/pull/162)
- Hard to read out of the corner of the eye (https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/pull/162)
- For multi-merchant buyers, use of like button was not only for giving credit but also for tracking of visited merchants. Now its not easy to spot the like from a glance due to the like colour + bigger cards
Status
A compact mode similar to the old look was added and can now be accessed through the Settings tab. The compact view should address most of the concerns listed and bring back the feel of the previous UI with some stylistic changes to make it more in-line with the new design.
Vote buttons will keep their current look and onClick behaviour, which can be changed in the future.
Colour
- Green used for cards is too much, as in too bright and overused
- partially addressed by https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/issues/156
- Unclear colour coding
- partially addressed by https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/issues/156
- Users generally don't like the amount of colour
- Lettering being the same colour as the border impacts readability
Status
Together with the compact view, empty card was updated to have its own, less intrusive border colour and the green from the Submit location button was removed completely.
General colour issues will be addressed in the future.
Missing information
- Merchant name should be present
- partially addressed by https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/issues/156
- Can't see upcoming merchants in new UI (https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/issues/156)
- Cannot see active merchant expiration timer (https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/issues/156)
- Cannot hover over to see map in collapsed view (https://github.com/Xeio/WanderLost/issues/156)
Status
Merchant name is again available in the compact view but will not be available in the card UI. Generally, merchant's name does not provide any additional information that Location or Region would not. In the rare cases that it does, like hunting for specific food in Luterra, compact view should be enough.
Confusing UI
- Card stack confusion - user thought it was shown in cases of multiple merchants in one location, not duplicate reports for the same merchant
- Card colour confusion - user thought border colour always corresponds to card rarity
- Better indicator as to which card is downvoted (example, card border being grey)
Status
These issues are a bit harder to address and have less priority. Will be investigated in the future.
