Shallow Features

  • Home (Grid) page
    • All contact buttons, history items, and all name links lead to the same review page
    • Filtering will only allow for the 4 given tags.  Users can't add new tags, and then filter
    • All history items are canned and repeated across the board
    • Clicking on history items and contact buttons will take you to the review page, but will not directly take you to the specified contact method or history at this time.
  • Approve page
    • Actions taken on the approve page will only allow changes to Delian
    • Status information is canned
    • The information boxes are all canned, there may be more or less content depending on the amount of information we have
    • Delian will eventually fade into view, as he is the only actionable one for now.
  • Show page
    • None of the communication methods actually cause real communications to go through (ie can't actually post on facebook) yet
    • All content on the page is canned
    • Adjusting tags on the prototype won't change anything on the grid right now, and is stateless.
    • You can't create events/send invitations on the calendar yet
    • The calendar would be from the perspective of the user ryan.m.lau@gmail.com
    • Tagging/Hashtags/Tweeting at functionality not enabled
    • Only plaintext Email
Key Takeaways:
  • More options to sort and order the contacts are wanted
  • Contacts should be searchable on more dimensions than tags (ie name)
  • There should be options to collapse or expand all contacts
  • Going to the show page from a specific contact link should populate that type of engagement in the contact box
  • The link to the show page is confusing, it should be gotten rid of an the show should be a modal over the grid
  • Specify which history items are ingoing vs outgoing
  • Need ways of filtering to one type of history vs integrated view
  • Add more safety when approving and denying a contact
  • Adjust the approve page layout to make text more readable and well laid out
  • Various cosmetic bugs regarding tags
  • Need indication of current page
  • Add links to the contacts social media pages
  • History should be more searchable and sortable
  • No labels

    Fidelity: No matter what part of the contact you click on on the Home page, it always goes to the show page in the same state. I understand that it's canned for now (and that's fine), but if I click, ""Post to Facebook"", I'd expect the show page to automatically load up the Facebook tab and be there and focused and ready for me to type.
    Usability: I like the ability to resize contacts, but the shuffling is really jarring. Additionally, it may be nice for users to be able to order their contacts. On the show page, there is no way to filter contact history by platform. It's unclear what should actually happen when the user clicks the ""Show"" button. Which contact will it show?
