Feature page could use some visual design / UX love.

Open paulirish opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

My usecases are centered around understanding more about the features that we've previously shipped. The feature pages are challenging to use.

Generally I think some lightweight visual design fixes from a designer would go a long way.

But here's some specific thoughts…

  • The explainer is generally super useful but it's not in the overview box. The explainer can do a better job than the Overview's Motivation, especially since explainers often have code examples.
  • The "estimated milestones" section is very tall. And if multiple platform have the same results, it'd be great to collapse them.
  • I do love the spec/github/crbug link chips. Those are excellent.
  • The metadata block repeats a lot of things in Overview. I'm guessing it's there for feature editors to verify? As a non-editor it's unclear why it repeats a bunch of info.
  • Vertically the page is just very tall. There seems to be opportunity to design things so it's more condensed with a higher signal:noise ratio. Many of the "no information provided yet fields could be collapsed somehow. Also, take this bit:

…it could instead be:

Steve Schoger used to have some great content on UX for visual clarity. Aside from spelunking in his twitter, I think the https://www.refactoringui.com/ book should cover it.
