掲示板 Forums - New schedule layout

Wheres the learn new button?? I am just asking

Alright, maybe I was a little bit too harsh on my first post.. uhhh

In my opinion, this new layout of schedule is cool! Its now easier to see your schedule, cool!
But I feel like removing the learn, learn new, focused review on the schedule directly is meh.

Idk if its a bug or so, Its a 7/10 for me!

Oh, whoos..

And also, yeah, can see it now, looks amazing! 10/10

Thanks for the feedback - let address each point (not necessarily in order):

1. A huge number of users would like easier access to the terms in each schedule - that has been made exceedingly clear, and most users are not power users, but casual ones - I do my best to strike a balance between the two groups, but right now, way too many people are saying "I cannot find x, y, and z in the schedules", so this is to help address that.

2. The study link will always be on the left. I tried (earlier) doing a button style for that first link, since it's the main one, but it didn't look good. That being said, most users (casual or otherwise) do not have the visual width that you do, and the large buttons plus longer schedules was causing a lot of cropping and bumping into one anther, so "Japanese Basics" might be "Japanese Ba..." for many users.

3. I think adding a way to hide those no-new term alerts would be excellent, and I think I can do that.

4. While I do see where you are coming from with regards to the blue/grey dynamic, a good number of people see "grey" as "not clickable" - while I know that many people do not see that, it felt like the blue buttons were "on", and the focused review ones are "off"

As I noted before, this is not a final draft, so I really appreciate this feedback, and hope to get more like that. I have no doubt I can continue to improve on the design and fit in the wishes of the majority of users.

the pop up window from clicking on the 3 dots next to schedules on the new layout doesn't format correctly, causing everything to be cut off and have scroll bars.

@Froggie_Newbie what page is that, and did you adjust anything with the schedules that make them act that way?

I think it just fixed itself

Schedules with "Learn and Study" active seem to be missing an obvious settings button, and on "Compact" and "Very compact" views the list of options overruns the horizontal space on screen on phone (and I don't see a difference between Compact & Very Compact layouts other than how much they overrun that space).

I haven't clicked around enough yet to form much of an opinion, but at first glance I like seeing the options all laid out like this and it seems pretty intuitive. My only suggestions at this point are to make the font size on schedule names bigger and/or bold so they're not less emphasized than the Study button, and make sure the settings button always persists in an obvious place (maybe always keep the gear icon visible even if the text doesn't fit).

Since I always manually sets my schedule settings, for me having the "Pace" option front-and-centre isn't useful and does nothing but take up space in the list, so it would be nice to have the option to hide it (or for it to automatically disappear in the more compact layouts) if that wouldn't over-complicate things.

Honestly I prefer the compact layouts (I just like the headings for Words/Kanji/etc. over the bubbles), but I'm aware I'm one of like 5 users that use it if it's a hassle to maintain multiple layouts I don't think it's necessary to keep.

Being able to reorder the options would be great! Settings is my most-used option, so having it be the first link to be sacrificed for screen space doesn't make sense, and being able to customize that would fix it for me. I do still think that even with that feature, Settings should be a button that's never hidden though, just based on how often I direct new users to schedule settings when they have a problem or want to accomplish something specific. Having it conditionally trapped in the meatball menu will make fewer people aware that customization options exist and make it harder to direct people to them.

Thank you thank you for giving us a way hide the orange lightbulb! That helps a lot!!

I didn't realize things were getting cut off for people with narrower screens, and I understand newer users who aren't as familiar with navigation might want things to be more easily accessible. I'll try to learn to love the new layout.

For the Renshuu pre-made schedules when I change the pace to review it says "There are no more lists to add!" for some reason. And because these ones have a "Lessons" link, the settings is getting hidden. Could we possibly make the link for "View Terms" to just be "Terms" in the same way "Lessons" is just "Lessons" and not "View Lessons" so that the settings button can always be visible? If it still won't fit, can it be made so that at least the setting gear icon is still always there? It looks like there is enough room for the gear icon at least?

Also, can the thick underline under the Pace option be removed? I don't think the pace option needs to take precedence over all the other menu options, and with all the vertical lines in between the different link options having another bold horizontal line right there feels a bit jarring.

When I saw the update and went to go turn off the orange lightbulbs, the first thing I did was to click the (More info) link and when the additional text told me to change the pace settings to get rid of it, I went into the settings for the schedule and couldn't find it. It took me a minute to figure out that I needed to click on the pace link itself for it to pop up. Maybe it would be helpful for the (More info) text description be updated to tell the user to click on the pace link? Thank you!
