UI improvements? #421

Closed dmix closed 10 years ago

dmix commented 10 years ago

Hi, I'm a front-end dev. I find the UI to be pretty confusing. The dependency on icons and the small grids interface makes it challenging to use on a daily basis. It would also be nice to have keyboard controls to trigger Switches on/off for a page, without having to refresh all the other tabs.

I'm willing to help contribute in this respect, but I've had bad experiences trying to contribute UI/UX help in previous OSS projects. So I'm curious about your feelings are towards improving the UI via PRs.

When the pull requests are so extensive that it would turn this project into someone else's idea of how the project should behave/look, I prefer that it is forked and made into someone else's project -- with a new name of course to avoid confusion among users.

right, I don't believe in radically changing projects. Mostly UI tweaks. UI is super opinionated though which is why even small tweaks seem to be controversial. Whereas code commits are less scrutinized. But maybe I should just try it out and see where I end up.
