Hi andybak, I work on the Sandstorm team and it seems pretty clear that you're not an idiot.
I'll see if there's something we can do to make this essential UI element more discoverable.
To some extent, it's a matter of learning about Sandstorm -- Sandstorm's role in the web app ecosystem is basically to add sharing & access control, so maybe everyone has to learn this. But hopefully we can help people figure it out more easily.
- unhammer 11y agoSome more UI feedback for you then: It did take me a while to figure out how to delete "grains" (I would've thought from the list of grains, instead I had to open one and click the delete button). Also, I don't quite understand why I started out with five wekan grains from the get-go? Maybe a bug. Also, I think first-time users might need some more hints (like unintrusive first-run popups or something) that the top bar is the Sandstorm stuff, while the rest is the app itself. I don't know what would be the best way, it seems quite challenging to design something like this :-) What does the key icon do? (No hover text.) Maybe "Share" should say "Share app"? (So I don't get confused into thinking it means "share this one wekan note" or "share this particular song from groovebasin".)
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoBeing able to delete and rename grains and stuff from the list is something I've been nudging them about. :) Yesterday in particular Oasis was under heavy load from HN, if you clicked on New Wekan a bunch of times before it did it, it might have made a bunch. Usually it's near instant so this sort of thing doesn't happen. paulproteus will love all your feedback. He likes feedback. :D
