  • Internet radio:
    • Pressing enter on search doesn't search
    • If no stations are found there is no indication that a search was actually performed (at least I think that's what's happening, or maybe it's just not working sometimes? I don't know, there's no status so I don't know what's going on).
    • Search results selection: There is no indication of which station is actually selected after clicking on one of the search results.
    • Inconsistent naming: "logo" should be capitalized to "Logo" to match the other fields. To be consistent "url" would be "Url" but that's weird so it should probably be "URL".
    • Nice-to-have: after entering a logo on the Internet Radio stream creation modal, it would be awesome to see that logo as a thumbnail next to the "logo" text.
    • Nice-to-have: All the text fields including the two URL sections are fixed-width. It would be very helpful to have them expand to the width of the modal.
  • There is no playing/paused/stopped status on the "Home" view, so it's impossible to see which streams are actually playing without 3 clicks per enabled stream.
  • Should we replace the text under "HW reboot" from "Raspberry Pi-based controller" to Embedded Linux controller or something? Or are we not caring about removing RPi from branding?
  • There's a dot on the settings icon when an update is available, but there's nothing to inform the user that that's what the dot actually means. Maybe add a dot next to updates after selecting the settings page?

I added all of those as issues. Thanks for the feedback @Lohrer

With many of these UI issues we ought to bias towards using MaterialUI since that's a package we already use and has premade components that can do what we need, such as the snackbar component's ability to function as a notification/warning popup, something that covers at least two of the issues on this list

I've assigned a label of usually webapp and sometimes user-experience to this. This ticket should not be maintained moving forward. Please use tags.
