Dev Stream Summary Part I
🕑 Added 2020-10-08 02:18:38 +0000 UTCHullo Patrons!
I'll do a short summary of some of the important talking points from the dev stream from yesterday. This will cover some of the design changes we've done to the new site! I've attached some snapshots of some of these changes and tried to do most of them, with a couple of exceptions, in all three themes to give a proper demonstration of these changes.
As a disclaimer, please remember that nothing is finalized and everything is subject to change.
Point 1) There have been some changes to the Navbar. These are general quality of life changes that make accessing various features easier and more intuitive; less clicks means more time to find partners!
Point 2) As part of the Navbar changes, certain things have also been moved, such as a dropdown for Account & Settings; this also coincides with the next change and again, facilitates easier access of certain features.
Point 3) The side bar navigation menu has been removed in almost all areas of the web site with the exception of areas such as the character edit page. This was done to increase the viewing area and make general navigation easier.
I was lazy and only did examples of this, for the RP ads page and Character List, in the blue them--I apologize to light and dark theme users!
Point 4) Viewing character profiles has been completely changed. You'll notice that the side menu, as it has been in most other places, has been removed. Navigation for profile information has been moved to tabs to spread the information out horizontally rather than vertically, which is more in line with the original site design. Overall, the profile view has been changed dramatically to display more information while increasing readability.
Tomorrow, I'll go over our changes to the "infotags" in profiles, because this section of profiles has had a significant update to make it more user friendly and accessible. Unfortunately, these changes are so significant that we need to fix it before showing it off, but we'll make sure to demonstrate this upgrade as soon as possible.
We hope everyone enjoyed the dev stream and these tidbits of information. We plan to try to do another dev stream at the future, probably when we have the updated chat client working nicely, so stay tuned for future updates!
Once again, thanks for being a supporter! See you tomorrow~
