Observations
From the first iteration:
User 1:- unnecessary
- Unnecessary tutorial
...
- Create account quick and simple
...
- Seemed to like the diary idea (the one option on
...
- dashboard that needed the tutorial to tell what it is)
...
- Fancy!
...
- Thought initially that project type would have "cheap and easy" but said it makes sense once he opened it up
...
- Send button is hard to see in chat
...
- How do "tips" relate to step?
...
- A lot of screens
...
- Slow
User 2:-password
- Password should get starred out in register screen
...
- Location is confusing -- give example instead (for example, Cambrige, MA) (city, state)
...
- About me: people talk about sewing
...
- Tutorial thing not obviously a tutorial, confuses users-- have option to click out of tutorial
...
- Not sure if need to find one that begins
...
- today-- does not realize you need to click on one in the future.
...
- Because you need to prepare etc. couldn't figure out ended vs ongoing vs etc.??
...
- Tabs are not as visible?
...
- Users automatically go to chat to say "Hi," instead of talking
...
- to video
...
- Comments: - top of the screen is not tabs, so navigation was a bit confusing - is sewalong pouch project or group name? - not sure how much having tutorials help
User 3:-skipping
- Skipping stuff after a certain point in tutorial
...
- People get really confused about sew-along and chronology of things first time around (search/filter makes sense though)
...
- Tasks were too leading (e.g. "join lounge")
...
- Did not talk to video, default to chat
...
- Give option to exit current anything-- forcing person to go to .. etc.
...
- Passively push users through, instead of being so aggressively pushy?
...
- Have option to cancel registration
...
- Option to skip tutorial
User 4 (note:
-pulled didn't go through tutorial with this user):
- Pulled down all filters
...
- immediately (include an expand all option)
...
- Not sure what counts as a cheap project?
...
- Picked "Lounge" to
...
- go to chat, but was unsure--
...
- probably by process of elimination
...
- Went fo filter for needle quickly
...
- Not sure if filter was same as search
...
- Almost went to "general" for chat - not sure what online chat was or what lounge was
