[Request]: Show the editable Notes field prominently (vs the user's bio description) on profile details view and in the "Mutes & Blocks" page

Open nekohayo opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

Problem statement

The "Notes" field is primarily used, in my case, to either:

  • Remember what is my particular connection to a person
  • Remember why exactly I muted them (or, in very rare extreme cases, blocked them)

The "Mutes & Blocks" page doesn't make this evident. Instead, it shows me the full profile bio of every muted person, which consumes tons of space without helping me remember why they're on that deny list.

Implementation Details

I would also suggest:

  • For the "Mutes & Blocks" list pages: De-emphasizing the rest of the bio, and putting the emphasis on the Notes field. Ideally only show the notes field, or otherwise, put it at the top above the bio, and fade out (50% opacity?) the rest of the profile so that my eyes can focus on the Notes field.
  • For the regular profile details view:
    • Putting the "Notes" field at the top even on the regular user's profile view, instead of doing that only on the "Mutes & Blocks" page
    • Maybe using the OS' accent color to background-color that notes field, so that it stands out more visually (especially when visiting someone's profile page)?

Ideally only show the notes field, or otherwise

I like this, the bio is really irrelevant there. If the user wants to read the bio of someone they can just click on the row.

Putting the "Notes" field at the top even on the regular user's profile view, instead of doing that only on the "Mutes & Blocks" page

Agreed but I'm unsure about the design, considering it's a row right now. It could be a single row like

with background and all. I'll have to get it through the designers
