Confusing design #238

Closed dmathisen closed 10 months ago

dmathisen commented 10 years ago

I don't know if this is deserving of a new issue, but just some thoughts on the design. To me, the whole thing is kind of confusing.

A new user has to sort of guess what they're looking at. Simple section labels would help (Result, CSS, HTML, JS).

Second, the CSS & Result, HTML & Result, All, JS and Result buttons are confusing. It may be better keep them separate (css, html, js, result) and use them as toggle buttons (just like Bootstrap's checkbox button group).

That's all. Otherwise, love it!

edit: Sorry, I meant to label this under design. Can't seem to switch it now.

Yeah, some of these are in my list of things to work on, once I get a chance. The conundrum is when I’ll get that chance…

:) I hear ya. I'm pretty busy too but if I have time maybe I'll fork and contribute. Either way, great work!

That would be great, though keep in mind I can be a little strict with which PRs get merged and ask you to make changes (unless it happens I have time too, so I can fix the issues myself). But this is certainly something I've been wanting to change in Dabblet for almost a year.
