A salute to the Dev. Team
Earlier before when the idea of developing a new user interface was at the infancy and we were enjoying the last interface at its fullest, i personally didn't see that there was a limitation probably because i was enjoying all that the old interface carries, its navigations and much more the easy handling patterns maybe it was because of my myopic view of what the future holds about leofinance, but now, am much more convinced that we where lacking much, thanks to boss @khaleelkazi for opening my eyes on this reality, the future is bright i must say.
The UX/UI design at the very first time I wanted to use it was something I couldn't navigate through as I had difficulties understanding the sign languages and icons on it, but then, according to the words of boss Khaleelkazi, the new interface has been built in a way that, without any formal knowledge about it, the way to navigate is quite simple.
The early Stage of the Design
Surely, the starting point of a journey doesn't say all about the journey but only the finish point thereof. This was my backup statement when I started seeing the consistent development and addition of features to the new interface. Right now, I am much more convinced that the future is bright.
At the very first beginning, a feature like #thread experienced a massive and consistent busy interaction but that was on the base of few members that understood what thread is all about and the role it has to play on content creation and stress management. I participated at an early stage and was enjoying it with those who understood it. The influx of people joining the moving train increased much more too when people started posting of links to their post in there to drive in the attention of curators which was working but at some point, it wasn't working again again because it seems people where monopolising on it but then thanks to the #zealy campaign that restored the interest once more.
Outside of threads, the management of notifications, the writing of posts using the new interface, and the fastness of the new interface on the aspect of responding to commands were big issues, but as time went on, the dev team started working on them, improving the interface more and more so that the bugs to be fixed were minimized and the interest in using the new interface was rekindled. There we are at the moment, but there is more.
The Present Architectural Design giving Joy All around.
[a]
Talking about the aspect of ads, its revenue design and outcome, there is a much more upgrade to it now other than before, this on its own is showing much respect to the brain that came up with the redesigning of the interface such that it accumulate the now, future and beyond.
[b]
Notification and Content Writing Design: From my own point, this is another mind blowing designing form i much more love as it has the prerequisite to manage your busy incoming notification by handling it in just a click. Outside of that too, the aspect of seeing through to what the notification is all about before even replying is something special. On the aspect of the space provided for writing a post, though there is a mimic of the last interface, but then the revising of it is much more obvious and easy to use through.
Bugs Fixing
So we hoped for as we saw that the early use of the interface was annoying to an extent as the bugs where too much and quite disgusting followed by the slowness in response to the needed stimulus when a command is been initiated, the on and off, logging off one's account when logged in and difficult navigations in the use of the already provided features.
But now
Greater percentage of the bugs are fixed, the interface is now faster, the recurrent issues as pertaining to writing of content and notification issues are been dealt with. This is much what we wanted and now we have it. Though the interface is far more from being settled but then a lot of upgrades has taken place.
