Add shortcuts for most visited platform to homepage-Gunkev #12

Open Gunkev opened 4 years ago

Gunkev commented 4 years ago

Problem

Actually it's quite important for user to access most of their visited platforms instantaneously. That is within a few seconds or milliseconds, no need typing or memorizing the address or name.

Benefit

This economically save time and at same time facilitate accessibility

Show your approach

In the homepage, a 'most visited platform; section should be added containing four most visited platforms in a form of a small cube(in a row) should be added before the opened tab section. If a user have more than 4 most visited websites, the 4th object should be a dropping list when tapped, it should show the rest of the visited platforms. But the number of visited website present on the homepage should be limited (6 to 7) to avoid overloading the interface. Also a user should be able to remove by clicking on the cross next to it. In addition if a user is in a particular platform and wishes to add it as a top website, the section 'add to top visited website' should be added in the menu such that when he tap on it it's automatically added. A sketch is shown below with their corresponding original interfaces.

Great approach!

I have a quick follow-up question to this:

Also a user should be able to remove by clicking on the cross next to it.

How would you remove sites from the first row where there's no x to close?

close one site
