More readable symbols #19

Closed piaste closed 5 years ago

piaste commented 6 years ago

I found the emojis hard to read at a glance, I was constantly having to glance down to the documentation. These symbols should be more intuitive.

This received some discussion earlier, and the result was the current emojis. I'm not sure if these new emojis are more intuitive than the old ones.

Maybe they should give the idea of steps and the idea of greater support? I mean, being able to order them is important too.

Compare this order (based on how fast you can move): … ->🚶-> 🚲 -> 🚗->🚀

With this one: ❔ -> ❌ -> ❕ -> ➕ -> ✔️

It is not clear why they are higher level than the others.

Maybe we could just use numbers instead? ? -> 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 In this way zero means nothing, and the rest mean higher level by steps.

Using letters is other option too, in this way: ? -> X -> C -> B -> A But I think numbers are easier, they are universal.

What about opening an issue to discuss this again? You can quote this msg if you are interested.

I think using numbers and avoiding emojis would even solve issue #6 for free. If no special font was needed, it would be more accessible to lots of people.

Please open an issue to discuss this well. Thanks for your collaboration!
