4. After a few hours, you see that a few brothers have offered to do Pots. However, the lowest ask price is $25.00. You decide to buy Pots labor for $25.00. Complete the trade.
Observations
- Merge trades and swaps onto a single page.
- User editted trade rather thanaccepted. Thought that he hadto up his bid in order to match an ask.
- Thought he (both users) could place trade from the watchlist (maybe a good idea)
- users want to click on their user names for currently assigned midnights
- trouble figuring out link for how to "buy labor"
Upon reaching the entrance page (where the midnight schedule for the week resides), users assumed the midnight schedule was clickable. More specifically, when told to get rid of their Monday pots, they often attempted to click on their name on the schedule.
Users were confused as to the difference between "trades" and "swaps"; they were also sometimes unclear on how the bid/ask system worked. Users also remarked that the UI was not sufficiently clear enough about what "buying" a midnight constituted: whether it meant acquiring a midnight (hence, paying to do work), or buying the labor for the midnight (hence, paying for someone else to do the work).
Users were also confused about what were/weren't clickable. Visual affordances were deemed unclear and hard to follow.
Finally, users were unsure of how to add midnights to their watchlist. The dropdown menu interface was ill-labeled, and users often overlooked it.- buying/selling confusing. are they people who are buying or are they offers for people who are buying
- maybe make things clickable, people really want toclick stuff
- adding on watchlist page needs label
