It���s really nice to see innovation in this area. I feel grateful for this work.
Here comes my UX notes
Things I like:
- Publish to the cloud
- Able to copy-paste the content of the box with feedback
- Encourages inspect of that very instance (this one was really good!)
- transforms the printed result to comment.
- clicking in the workspace makes the result disappear (good!)
- full selects the comment after enter so a second enter can clean it
- the shared snipped page has syntax highlight
Things that I see can be improved:
- the shared snippet page has a terrible design, the contrast issue is probably the most severe, being unclean the second one
- the printed result transformed to comment gets injected at the cursor position and that functionality doesn���t really make much sense (having it printed always at the end of the line you make more sense for example).
- the inspect button doesn���t look like a button and doesn���t change the cursor on hover
- No undo on cmd-z (this one feels like a deal-breaker)
- The tab for me is a redundant feature with an unclean title (we have how to recall different workspaces from the bottom bar already)
- The icon to publish to the cloud looks like download from the cloud (arrow points down instead of up)
- The inspector is surprisingly complex and abuses the use of tabs
- The inspector for Dictionary by default hides a naive observation of the object and assumes that a ���smart��� object aware presentation hiding behind a click the tree-like observation of instvars.
- Also in inspector the icon for browse looks like a document, doesn���t feel like a match
good work!
Hi,
I worked with Andrei to find a solution for improving the print-it support. You can take a look here:
The current solution can be found in the latest Pharo image.
Cheers,
Doru
