Comment to I like UNA, but I don't like the way 'Groups' are handled

  • I like the una framework, but there are some things that have an awkward feel. Groups definitely need more front side management features, and groups definitely need an 'add content' button that bypasses the visibility selector. Adding a new photo album to a group is clumsy... who wants to go add a photo album as usual, and hunt through what may be a long list of visibility options? It's counterintuitive. 

    Don't worry... things will get better, once I've pointed out all the strange behavior of una.

    In the mean time, people that start a memorial group for some dead guy, will just have to wonder why they have a recipe section in their group.  You could just remove recipes from all group menus, but followers of the Barbeque Cooking team group might like to have a recipe section.  It's a critical need, that isn't a matter of opinion.  When you've been away for a while as I have, strange design features have a tendency to jump out at you.

    • I agree wholeheartedly about general need for UX revamp. We have been busy adding core features and addressing performance, which is great for the initial bulk of development, but there’s clearly need to regroup and release a more “crafted“ update focusing on better overall UX flow. 

      We will release v12 final on Monday and there’s also some time allocated for a service update for Dolphin. Then we’ll proceed to v13 planning and development. v13 should be an update that ”absorbs“ already developed functionality by making all modules more streamlined and user friendly. 

      • Glad you agree... it saves me a trip down there to straighten you guys out.

        • I think making mods more user friendly along with visual tutorials would be best. Going over mods like Groups, Events, and streamlining them would be good also. Events are hard because you have the confusing buttons of "Interested and "Going" showing at the same time. I reached a testing point in an event where I couldn't even undo Going or Interested anymore. I thought we were gonna get a new mod for Picture editing? Also how about adding some new menu UI options?
