What do you think of the updates for Steemit? Worst UI Update
This almost would make me feel embarrassed to update as my portion if i worked at Steemit.com. This update to the UI, was done by someone that obviously lacks UI/UX experience, process of how to identify the problem and obtain a solution.
No offense, but whoever accepted to update this UI as an update hasn't done anything really to improve the UI. It's actually caused more conflicts responsively. Corporate Steem Inc. team (
Issues I have with this Update
• The background image has become dynamically scaling as you shrink and expand the screen for displays
!
• The sticky header doesn't improve usability or will improve clicks because your user base does not VALUE these tabs at the logged in state anyway.
• The styled icons look great and a decent improvement to the way things were by tucking in a few functions like logout etc. they look solid, but the search tool lacks descriptive information of what you can search for and the experience is not good overall when you DO search things
• The icons are NOT reflected responsively for mobile. So whoever designed the features was not scaling it for devices.
• The width of the web UI has drastically changed to a NON - Standard format. This will cause all kinds of display issues and stretches the background impairing the user profile.
• Forcing a user to a smaller UI width doesn't help either. It causes a user to have to zoom or even stretch everything.
• Was not user tested. Just implemented.
• Doesn't seem to be any kind of priority to a user at all the updated functionality.
Conclusion
Overall pretty disappointed with the UI Update here. It really doesn't add ANY VALUE to the site. Personalization is still lacking and sadly I'm amazed that it was implemented. When you build an update you need to use the scientific method to strategize how you're going to add value in an update. Unfortunately I don't see any value here, and moreover i think its more damaging the helping. The updates cause a lot of visual untested impairments.
Let me Mentor your creative team and hire me and my team to rebuild the UI? We'd make it so much better for everyone! We use UX standards and principals to guide improvements that would assist the User base and truly make things more enjoyable while retaining a user.
