Methodology
Taking Project Documents Seriously Again.
Betting table:
Design conversations during the development.
Design Review document.
Pain during the last week
Alex:
Scroll position in the feed is not saved. Kills me. You reply a comment, go back, and start from scratch.
Comment blocks quoting. Really a must. No way to sanely reply to a big-ass comment right now.
Account switching. Probably already fixed in main, but I'm using prod.
Huuuge font in comments. Probably already fixed in main.
Truncating images in comments. Freaking kills me sometimes. It take 2 extra clicks to look at the image sometimes. And it seems unnecessary when images are small. Maybe we should just make the thumbnail smaller or something? Or make it expand inline, without having to open a modal for the full-size image. I think I like that better. Make it expand inline.
Sometimes accessory panel tooltips cover the publish button. Ask for a demo during HT :). I showed it to Horacio in person too.
I miss the dedicated discussions panel. Very hard to follow the conversation with the current feed. Often the flow of the thread is broken by other feed items. Filtering of the feed may not be enough, or would make the user do more clicks than having a dedicated panel.
Seeing duplicated broken down threads sometimes feels repetitive. You have to "assemble" the thread in your head from those torn up pieces.
Filtering discussions. I want to click the supernumber (or something) on a block, and see all threads about this block. Along with the previous point, the new feed makes it even harder to filter manually (by just eyeballing I mean).
Document update feed events probably doesn't need to include the document title, or the card of the document at all. It seems to big.
I want to print documents on the web. Currently only the viewport section is printing. Probably a new user story/goal/task.
I want to copy from Seed with images, to paste documents in other places. Probably a new user story/goal/task.
The "Back" button in the discussion right panel is hard to reach when the thread is long. You have to scroll up to get back to the list of all threads.
Mentions in the right panel look way too similar to comments. I was freaking out seeing a comment that I wrote for my daily update in a document. Until I realized that it's there just because it's a mention of the Emerald Architecture document.
Mention mixing with normal comments way too similarly
Horacio
I can't paste text on a nested list without adding a space in the beginning. BUG
Scrolls on mobile sucks!
Eric
feed navigation is annoying because you have to scroll back to location (Code Enhancement)
web comment writing autosave glitch (BUG)
navigation is slow on both platforms when going back and forth on feed. no loading Indicator. (BUG)
link dropdown is severly ugly on web (BUG)
log in on every device is tedious. (Project Two Clicks Profiles Linking or Passkeys)
Cannot edit document on web or mobile. (Project Edit Web Documents)
cannot upload video on mobile (BUG)
broken quoting in comments (BUG)
web mentions are broken (BUG)
missing directory on web (try to solve this with query blocks)
block Supernumbers are hard to click. (Enhancement)
panel navigation is confusing and broken on web, not synced with URL so refresh sometimes changes things (BUG)
Iskak
Clicking X icon on web when in a discussions tab brings you back to a thread if the url is the comment url. (BUG)
The desktop app is unusable for me in seed team talks. My app freezes and becomes gray when I open discussion tab or want to expand replies in the home page. (WHAT DO WE DO????)
Avatars and names of sites don't resolve in feed and I have to go to the site and wait for the document to resolve for a long time. (Project Profile page everywhere)
Because I have to restart my app often when it freezes in seed team talks, when I open the app again the account I had selected is not saved and is switched to another account. (BUG)
Isabella
Account Switching (BUG).
Mentions are awful. (BUG).
Copy Paste content (BUG).
I can't save my changes my Account (Project Profile page everywhere).
Tabs.
Mobile Navigation and Outline menus design is bad.
Julio
Account Switching (BUG)
Feed duplicated items.
Feed shows future times. (BUG)
Gabo
When a document is moved, comments get lost.
Luna participation.
Users want to access their Email List.
emails in every sense.
hard to open resources on comment.
batch activity
mentions and reply designs should
Hard to follow conversations. I miss replies with the feed view, compared with the grouped resources view.
Edit documents on the go.
The feed icon toggle behaviour. I don't like it on desktop but In mobile is not intuitive at all!
Tapping on mobile web doesn't give you feedback.
Create a Comment on mobile is not easy, compared with last week design. I believe that create a comment is more important than read the feed...? either way luna is complaining about comments.
The accounts linking process!
Feed order stack citations and comments, instead of sharing the same time line.
Betting Table
We bet that we are going to improve the outcome, on the scope and time shaped.
