7 years ago From 563: We need to make it super simple to read/browse comments and engage with them... we don't need to feature the edit/delete buttons as loudly as we do now or provide too much space in between comments. I think we can hide less important buttons in the "..." side menu, but I do want to bring out the upvote downvote and reply concepts somehow...
Making a comment could be on its own modal It might be useful to see a preview of some replies (not all replies though) on a comment... It would be useful to have a nested replies viewing modal
Generally speaking, I think the text and options (if poll/post/etc) should still come before the attachments, but I'm really flexible on this and looking for different concepts...
Attachments - My concern is that an attached video gets watched but the poll doesn't get answered - and we want the poll to get answered and engaged with... I also don't want to encourage leaders to over-do it on the attachments unless absolutely necessary, so that optional 2nd or optional 2nd and 3rd attachment should ideally not be too overwhelming so that the user doesn't have to scroll through 3 huge video previews to get to comments, but again I'm not sure.. Comments - We need to think of the design conventions for those services out there that have hundreds if not thousands of comments and use that as inspiration. Poll results - I want to "cut to the chase" on the results without the eye needing to go all over the screen. Also want to combine the user's "answer" with the overall results, so that that's clearer... Post results (micropetition) upvote/downvote/ignore buttons I think can be more visual and horizonal perhaps?...
Avatar vs Banner - We currently feature an avatar with that blue rectangle background... I would entertain a concept that allows a group to also upload a banner (as distinct from their group avatar).
I would want to increase overall focus and attention to engagement - how many users have engaged / answered etc.. so that people see stuff is happening... I think we need to rework the look of comments on the bottom of the Item Detail Screen as well as how the "Replies" Discussion screen looks... The comments have too much white space and I think we need to better design for higher-volume of comments and easier reading and user engagement (without burying upvote/downvote/etc buttons... I "think"
