Here is a full visual record of the current flow.

There were a few hitches in the flow, the following really stuck out at me:

Search requires a return to send.
To remove a search you have to delete or click x and then return.
When you delete but a search has happened it doesn't clear, you just get the empty result returned.

A lot of the process felt very limiting, whilst I had a very small collection here, it was obvious to me how easily it would become frustrating to manage.

The following is what I get as an experience on my photo site - this has a lot of images so a good use case for seeing issues. I am hosted on wordpress.com but using the older interface to show. I wanted to do this as it's the site I have the most images on :)

@karmatosed this is a great set of screenshots of the flow on desktop. How do you think we should incorporate the mobile flows?

karmatosed commented 7 years ago

Spurred on by that @joemcgill I did a speed flow using my Nexus 6P. The short story is it's not great. But, we can improve so that's good.

Noting some things from the flow on mobile that struck me:

This experience doesn't feel optimised for mobile, it's in some places incredibly painful to go through.
Buttons are out of line, line heights are wrong - there seem a lot of very low hanging UI things fixable.
Editing screens are really really long on mobile.
