Usability problems found and potential solutions
General (Both commenter and artist view):
- Poor contrast between pins and image
- Pins icons on comments
- Hard to see hashtags: could have them as blue links that are the filter
- Red border around annotation on the right looks like input field on error
- Should disable mouse interactions with the art piece so that you can't pick it up and drag it around
- Restyle annotations so that they aren't as big, also maybe recolor them since the red can be hard to see
Artist upload
- upload button doesn't work
- tags page has multiple "submit" and "next" buttons
- privacy settings page doesn't allow you to drag a group back to being unused
- privacy settings page allows you to drag one group on top of another
Artist view
- maybe have an overlay on the stars that shows the actual numerical rating (e.g. "Average rating: 3.8")
- disable crosshair over art (since it implies that you can add an annotation)
- fix scroll jumping when you toggle filters
Commenter review:
- Empty stars are not very visible
- Give feedback when they rate the piece (e.g. "You have rated this piece 3 stars. Undo?")
- Feedback/confirmation on deletion
- allow commenters to pin comments that are only in the summary section
- restyle tag buttons so that they actually look like buttons
- Change mouse marker to indicate draggable
- Expect double click to edit annotation
- Cannot When you have a pending annotation open, cannot close annotation window if you change your mindchange your mind, and cannot click on an existing annotation to close your pending annotation.
- Expect double click to edit annotation - currently can't edit annotation by clicking on them
