I was trying to select the year I was born, and then click on the year chips, which I now understand reset my selection but it wasn't clear to me what it did.
Once I realized I selected the right year and left the chips alone, but the button stayed disabled. I didn't want to provide the exact birthday. But I realized I had to click on the month to get a valid input.
Just sharing this friction. The input looks nice, but might be a bit form over function here... Consider following typical conventions on how inputs like these work.
The DESIGN.md files look good but I would suggest expanding on it. For example, could it include brand tone and descriptions of visual style. That way it would be helpful for writing copy text and creating art assets.
The larger challenge might be that given your vision this should help with choosing what to watch. But seeing this, it might not give me enough to actually make the choice. I do recognize some of the channels there and I like that clicking on the ones I know I see connected ones I don't recognize – so those might be ones to check out. But how and why are they connected? Are the channels covering the same topics, or are they sharing a lot of the same viewers?
I would also like the text to be a bit more readable on when clicking on a channel. The contrast is such that there's a bit of friction to read it, and the fact it appears in the top right corner of my screen makes me move my eyes back and forth constantly. Maybe the information could pop up closer to the bubble (but I understand it might then overlap the links).
Just some thoughts! I did find some channels I might want to check out!
But looking at what you've built, I think it's pretty well laid out. A couple suggestions:
- It's not immediately clear to me what the calendar in the top-left does? It seems to act as a filter but what is it filtering?
- One thing I found handy is to be able to have notes so that going from interview to interview I could easily prepare and see who did I meet with last, what did we discuss, and what things I might want to ask/explore to choose if it's the right place for me in the next interview.
So maybe instead or in addition to the podcast format it could be a way for agents to chat with each other and then bring new insights to the end-users without having to listen to the discussion itself?
Otherwise, like the idea and the dreadful atmosphere! Was curious how the game plays.
But it takes a bit more thinking and interaction to understand how the weather develops. For example, I like to see how the temperature changes during the day and for that, I find a graph illustrates the hourly changes better than just numbers and colors, but the information is obviously available here too. Just requires but more thinking from the user.
Are you thinking adding other things like humidity and wind? If so, would you try to fit more information to the dial or add some popups or something else?
First, when I added multiple channels it seemed like it was playing content from just the first one I added. I liked the filtering feature so I could swap that way, but I assume the idea is it should work with both? If so, how does it choose the order?
Second, and this is a more specialized “need” but on some channels the videos are sequential. Gaming channels frequently have “episodes” and podcasts sometimes have parts. I noticed they come in inverse order as yours probably shows newest first. Probably not the use case you’re solving for but just be aware.
