Improve desktop UX design. #24

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

The current mobile wireframes seem to work well for the task at hand. However, I think the desktop UX could use some improvements. I want to start this task to open discussion on how we could improve it.

Something like this or this

Unrelated - Where are the points being stored? I was looking for a .geojson in the directory, but couldn't find it :/

ghost commented 10 years ago

Oh, currently we filter and serve the coordinates (using a stupidly simplistic REST API) from a hand-parsed JSON file containing the rest of the model data necessary to display exhibits in the list and detail views in the application. You can see the resultant JSON streams here.

I'd have to look at geojson, but I think @stanzheng, @wbprice or @ttavenner could provide quicker responses on this if you need.

EDIT: I could see about converting the model in the application to take geojson points to have a more standardised dataset. I think this would improve the codebase considerably.

geojson.io should be able to convert that json stream - i can try later..

Looks cool, actually. I'd absolutely like to provide a CC free software variant of this. :)

Seems like #57 continues this topic. Let's close this task for now unless we need it in the future.
