๐ข Quite sure
๐ With doubts
๐ฃ TBD
Writer vs Viewer
๐ข Keep the left column as a reference for Writer roles, not for Viewers.
๐ข Remove the banner idea; keep the Subscribe button for Viewers only. Most Viewers will close it without reading it.
๐ข Keep Versions (User Task) only for writers; remove them for Readers.
๐ข For writers: Joined sites works well. Keep it as is, same with Create New.
๐ข Do not give viewers the option to create sites if they are only viewing a site, consuming content. Add โCreated by Seedโ instead at the bottom.
๐ Remove the Edit button for Writers; allow them to edit directly and publish when ready.
Navigation
๐ข Left column content organization for writers works well, but itโs important to be able to collapse it.
๐ข Move Search next to the content, not in the left column.
๐ข Move Share closer to the content.
Keep top bar more for general settings and account.
๐ข Activity tabs opening on the center instead of the right column is a win.
๐ URL input box in the app is not useful or noticed โ remove it but add a breadcrumb instead to give context. (to be tested)
๐ข Activity tabs to navigate content and activity works well โ keep it.
๐ โVersionsโ could be added on the 3 dots, not in the main tabs.
๐ Subscribers component on top menu is confusing to 100% of testers.
Remove it and add it in โActivityโ or below the screen.
- Idea 1: Have it on activity and see different roles on details? Biggest number possible. People, members.
- Idea 2: Dashboard idea on homepage
- Idea 3: Having participants/subscribe status at the bottom
๐ฃ Show just public documents in the left column.
๐ข The concept of navigation items being docs, no need for users to know, is confusing. They see it as sections (web thinking).
๐ข Limit header items.
๐ข Remove the comment button top right. 100% of users will comment on the tab comments.
Private Docs
๐ข Find another word for โprivateโ, is a confusing word, users are not sure what it means on a public space.
Shared with specific people makes more sense.
๐ Show private documents in the content view but with a โlockโ icon to indicate privacy.
๐ Be able to publish first as private (just for writers), then publish to all.
๐ Be able to choose who you share with in a โPublishโ flow. Do not show Publish comment on Create as it is now.
Commenting
๐ข Itโs important to add reference of where you are commenting.
๐ฃ Allow the owner to remove the โcommentingโ option (some users are afraid of trolls).
Creating Content
๐ข Have a unique way to create a new document.
๐ข Keep the main CTA top-right for now.
๐ข The flow of creating docs inside docs is clear. They don't think of docs. itself but they understand is nested content.
๐ Make the document, after being created, a "draft" tag with a vivid color by default. No one can see it until it is published (not even writers)
๐ Most users like to create docs in place and move them later.
Select location is good but TBD.
๐ข After creating a document, add it at the end, in place.
๐ On the + New button, add more options (e.g. add image). Or add a + in the docuemnt itself with these options.
Account
๐ข Need an account switcher for users using professional vs personal accounts
(i.e. Notion-style).
Avoid one account per Seed account.
๐ข Remove wheel icon on account to avoid duplication
(arrow down instead).
๐ Move account icon to the top right.
Functionalities
๐ข Add an option to bookmark documents.
Add icon top bar to go back to favorites.
๐ข Be able to follow people who create interesting content.
๐ Be able to take content from one site and post it on yours
(add it to the 3 dots) โ TBD.
๐ข To add a new navigation item, have a โ+โ at the right.
๐ฃ Explore integrations with tools like Canvas or Moodle.
UI
๐ข Remove the URL input on browser; keep in app but mark as โnot an inputโ.
๐ข Make sections elements bolder and easier to differentiate.
Take all space. Improve header.
๐ข Cleaner more organize content., better hierarchy.
๐ข Define a more visual way to show documents with limited options in the tests
(e.g. Visual / Bookmark / Text).
๐ข Make card very clean to avoid extra noise and having a clean layout. For example: visual, just img, text and comments. User can explore more details getting in.
๐ข Show the element as โHomeโ on the navigation bar to be consistent.
๐ข Avoid pushing content too far down the page with top elements.
๐ข Move arrows to navigate content closer to the content (maybe next to logo).
๐ข Add more white space between content to better readability
