Methodology

Priorities

Eric is complaining that the priorities are not clear. Hope this helps:

The Strategic Goals are defined in the Roadmap Document.

We follow the Feedback Loop Process, where priorities are based on our Users' Conversations.

We have Bugs, Enhancements, and Projects. I have added a new Document to follow the project's priority closely. Using the Meeting Notes was too messy. However, I will embed the priorities document in every meeting notes document. The Priorities are based on the list order.

If there is no consensus in the Room Gabo decides the priorites as last resource.

Product Definition Process

Currently, we are too slow on the product ideation and there is too much drama. The problem is the methodology. I have expanded the process based on the Design Sprints book from Google.

Design the Solution

Collective Effort:

State a clear Outcome.

Short descriptions of the User Stories that each of us have in mind.

Inspirations from other apps that each of us have in mind.

Sketches with idea that each of us have in mind.

Both Ux and Technical Pros and Cons from everybody on the team.

Hopefully there is consensus on the team. If not Gabo is the decision maker of last resource.

Designer Effort:

State Clear User Goals through the User Stories.

What information must the user learn to accomplish the goal.

What are the User Steps.

Final Pixel Perfect Designs.

Pains

Alex

I keep seeing my picture on Isabella's name for some reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Code blocks wrap text. I think it's most common for them to overflow and let scroll horizontally. GitHub does it this way, and many other places. I think it's the right way to do it, especially given that our text width in the app is pretty narrow.

Enhancement (https://linear.app/seedhypermedia/issue/SHM-1825/code-blocks-wrap-text)

T~~he floating user name in the left bottom corner feels weird, is too big, and gets in the way of content.~~

The whole thing feels all over the place. We have a footer with an Open in App button, which nobody uses, because it's never on the screen basically. We have the top green bar when serving third-party content saying "Hosted on ... via the Hypermedia Protocol". Plus we have the account state on the bottom left.

~~I suggest the following:~~

~~Remove the footer.~~

~~Make the top bar some less bright color. Show it if~~ ~~any~~ ~~of the following conditions are met:~~

~~We need to show the disclaimer when service third-party content.~~

~~We are logged in. The disclaimer is shown only if needed. If we just logged in, we simply show the bar with the current account.~~

We move the open in app button, and the logged in account to the top bar in a much more subtle way, making everything much smaller. Basically we need to make it fit in the current height of this top bar.

~~We'd make it look a bit like this wordpress top bar. Account selector, open in app button, and other stuff that might be relevant in there:~~

Wordpress top bar with current account

Notes

Horacio

Super numbers open the accessory panel directly.

The User should see the Comment and Copy link button when selecting a block or a range, not by hovering!?

Review with hm://z6MkfnCSnmstMXTAb6MBXXCj4zdPwZedtRF6YBgYtE5Q8Sov the document options panel. I shared an idea.
