[Discussion] Small usability evaluation of version 0.53 #30
Some feedback from my usage over version 0.53 (working with the mindset of an end user)
INSTALLATION
No more scary data is collected. The extension just wants to access the actual site. That's fine by me (and very common with the other extensions I have)
USAGE
If a paragraph is larger than the current viewport it is never detected, if there is another small one present. First, this was annoying, I tried to change the assignment with mouse over. However, when I found out that I just had to click I found this very usable. I now have the possibility to explicitly state what I am focussing on (in case the automatic detection is wrong)
Especially for long paragraphs I sometimes do not see where the keywords in the bottom come from. I tried to move the mouse over the keyword, hoping they might be highlighted, but this did not work. I think I would trust the keyword extraction more if it would tell me where the words came from, especially in the cases when they make no really sense for me.
If a paragraph is not detected at all, I have no chance of making it active (happened in the wikipedia reference section). Paragraph switch and detection works flawless mostly and I really like it, but this annoyed my a bit. The paragraphs seemed obvious to me.
What is supposed to happen when I click on a keyword (but not on the "close" part of the keyword)? Couldn't figure that out. The keywords kind of gets visually inactive, but I don't know what else..
DESIGN
I don't like the orange "xxx results". Everything else is grey, the orange is just wrong there.
The animated logo is nice, but it could be nicer. I would prefer a more circular shape.
The font size in the bottom bar is larger than the fonts I use to read web pages. That makes it a little bit too much in the foreground.
I like the grey decent colours of the bar in general
The search result list is not nice. The colours are too intimidating. The interactions are fun, but the design is not.
