Problem

Dropdown Appears Abruptly When Clicking Explore Button - Poor UX

Description

When clicking the Explore button, the dropdown menu appears instantly without a smooth transition. This abrupt behavior can disrupt the user experience, as it feels jarring and lacks the polished, responsive feel expected from modern interfaces. A smooth, animated dropdown would greatly improve the visual flow and overall usability.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Navigate to the Explore button on the top right corner of the page.
  2. Click the Explore button.
  3. Observe that the dropdown menu appears abruptly without any transition or animation.

Expected Behavior

When the Explore button is clicked, the dropdown menu should smoothly slide down or fade in, creating a more fluid and user-friendly interaction.

Actual Behavior

The dropdown menu appears instantly without any animation or transition, leading to a less polished experience.

Recommendation

Implement a smooth transition effect (e.g., sliding down or fading in) for the dropdown to enhance the user experience. Use CSS animations or transitions for a more modern and fluid feel.

Hi @mo-gbolahan and thank you for this contribution!

This behavior is tied directly to Vocabulary itself and is intentional to avoid other motion issues, and over use of JavaScript within the system.

Closing this as not within the scope of the project for the time being.
