linear interface #150

Open octothorpe8 opened 6 years ago

octothorpe8 commented 6 years ago

There's a lot of rather tedious clicking involved in this workflow, especially considering it's essentially linear. The user is presented with lots and lots of tiny cursor targets just to continue through the process.

If there's ever another version of this application, I'd suggest a simple linear keyboard-based interface where:

  1. the user initiates the session
  2. the first sound plays through automatically
  3. after that sound finishes playing, the user is presented with the four classification options, which they can select by typing keys 1-4 on their keyboard (or optionally clicking one of four labelled buttons on screen)
  4. then the following sound plays automatically and the cycle continues

I'd also add that something like this would translate much more easily to a touch-based interface if you're looking to get iOS or Android users into the mix.

It is a nice idea indeed. I think some people would prefer the actual version. And, personally I don't know which one is better to get people concentrated, avoid mistakes, etc...

Unfortunately, I don't think we have the time to implement this for now, but we are open to Pull Requests :)

We will keep it in mind, thank you!
