[UX] Use proper labels in Send tab
The send transaction form uses placeholders in place of labels. This is generally considered bad UX, and is even more so in this particular case because:
- Some fields of the form come pre-filled so their label is never displayed.
- All fields are numbers of some sort, so the user can't guess their use from their type.
- Operations are irreversible.
The Settings tab uses proper labels, so it shouldn't be hard to fix.
@centrys-otniel We should do the following:
- Add units to the energy row (NRG)
- Add a drop-down for people to select the unit in which they want to enter the energy cost. Should default to our equivalent of
gwei
. - Add a drop-down for people to select the unit in which they want to enter the amount of send. Should default
Aion
(10^18). For this we will have to resolve any conversions between units.
This would drastically improve the user experience.
The screenshot above is a bit old. This is how the send screen looks now. The question marks also give some hints about the fields.
Also, as you can see, we already have a combo that allows selecting either the AION coin ori the configured tokens for the current account. COnsidering this, we can add something like the following:
That's a bit better, but wouldn't you agree that if there's one place where all sources of potential confusion should be removed, this is it?
In any case if labels are a definite no go then @qoire's suggestions would work too.
I did not mean it as "Let's not add labels". I was referring specifically to the last point of Yao's suggestions where we should add the option of sending sub-units of AION (i.e. Amp). However, adding lables will minimise the vertical size of the text areas :grin:
As a user, I still don’t know what those 2 fields mean. That drop down looks like a good solution but it is still a technical solution. Any chance we can get it in layman terms for the user what it means? For example if we have a few options for gas price, can it be indicated if it means fast medium or slow transactions?
@MakoMania that's noted, it just requires us to have some analysis on gas costs and their expected block inclusion times, we'll keep this suggestion in mind for future updates.
@centrys-otniel Can we also move on the labels idea suggested by @lleaff? I know in the updated builds we still don't have that.
