Methodology

I’ve scheduled the design meeting for tomorrow because we never seem to have enough time during HT. In HT, we’ll identify pain points, evaluate new features in show-and-tell, and give the green light to new projects and prioritize them.
At Wednesday’s Design meeting, we’ll dive into design and solutions!

Pains

Alex

I want mention comments. When I paste comment link it only lets me use Embed or Card. (Enhancement: Add a name to a comment)

~~Addressing comment blocks. Still needed :)~~ ( Project Comment links)

~~Feed scroll position saving is buggy. Sometimes it gets stuck in the middle of the feed all the time.~~ (BUG)

~~We broke site-specific search keyboard shortcut? Let's make CMD+K+K open the site search. We used it have it the other way around accidentally — it wasn't bad actually. (Search Project?)~~ (BUG)

OG images for comments. Would be so fucking nice. (enhancement)

~~I lost a comment draft in the app while moving around. Version 11.8.~~ (I need one more hint!)

Right panel width in the app 😩. (Linear Issue - https://linear.app/seedhypermedia/issue/SHM-1875/respect-the-window-state-when-opening-a-new-window)

Blockquotes are annoying. Especially in comments when replying. You can't have them on the top level, because blockquote is a "bullet type" defined by the parent block, instead of being its own block type. It's funny that we made quotes this way, but made code blocks a block type, while quotes are usually shorts and rarely multiline, and code is usually many lines. (Project) (Enhancement Let's talk about Blockquotes!)

Horacio

I want to reorder my favorites by dragging them up or down and persist the order. (Project)

I don't like to see random letters in the name of an account. is very annoying to not know who wrote what. (Still Buggy)

Gabo

Cibercultura

User struggles with the templates; We see it all the time for 10 months. User creates a Site and doesn't use it again! Let's remove them and, by default, add a query block to the home page and an extra document to the navigation bar!

Users don't find the account switcher on the app, so they dont' find the edit button

(Design Task)

Eduroam is still not working.

[BUG]

Users need to refresh:

[BUG]

I want to follow up on conversations!!!

(PROJECT)

I want document lists ordered by all activity (including comments!) not only updates!

(Enhancements)

I want to copy the link from the directory list items so I can easily add them to the document content!

(Enhancements)

The Feed toggle is killing me! And how slow it is to open the page, too!

(Enhancements) (Project)

Clicking an item on the Activity Feed takes forever to open.

The feed button on the web takes forever to open.

I want to see all the discussions on the Site!

Eric

Addressing comment blocks and ranges!

(Project - New Users quickly understand the Basics of Seed Hypermedia)

Inconsistent panel navigation, no panel tabs on web. Difficult to open some panels such as directory + navigation

(Project- New Users quickly understand the Basics of Seed Hypermedia)

Extra feed button in title bar is confusing and is sometimes broken (such as in drafts)

Why is it a toggle?

(Design Task for the Feed - New Users quickly understand the Basics of Seed Hypermedia)

Mobile web navigation issues. You can get easily stuck on profile page. Mostly this is a bug, but we should come with a more cohesive design where app+document+site concerns are more organized

I always look for the feed in the hamburger menu

(Design Feedback for the Project) New Users quickly understand the Basics of Seed Hypermedia

Feed performance is very slow for first load

New Users quickly understand the Basics of Seed Hypermedia

Changing versions on mobile web is a bad experience because you have to close the panel

(BUG - Close the panel)

Confusing UX of activity panel filtered to discussions, an discussions panel

New Users quickly understand the Basics of Seed Hypermedia

Mobile web has two ways to open comments, this makes our UX feel messy

New Design Feedback. comment on the header and on the mobile bottom bar.

Account creation has separate email step, should be part of account creation.

Horrible email bugs. Top problems: wrong domain, broken images, not enough links

Broken blockquotes in comments

Multiple subscribe buttons

Project, I don't know if we covered here: New Users quickly understand the Basics of Seed Hypermedia

Two buttons? notify and subscription.

Severe syncing issues - for example feed is broken for non-subscribed site.

Project (Syncing) BIG DEAL Query Block -

App requires refresh to get the latest content

THIS IS a Great PAIN

I really really want an inbox like linear

(PROJECT hm://z6MkuBbsB1HbSNXLvJCRCrPhimY6g7tzhr4qvcYKPuSZzhno/projects/mentions-and-replies-grouped-by-discussions )

Inconsistent features across all editors

Web, commentting panel, commenting on main panel and desktop..

Can we get rid of the delete comment button

Annoying bug where comment draft does not get cleared
