Wow. Thanks for making this! As an analog photographer, this is what I've been looking for. I've bookmarked it for future reference.
Here are some points I noticed (no dealbreakers):
- On the landing page, it would be nice to be able to simply scroll down to see some content. Now the call-to-action button is there but why not show the main content below the "hero" image?
- On the page with the film rolls: would be nice to have the specs of the film rolls on this page if you hover over a particular roll. E.g. replace the image of the roll with the technical specs. If not the technical specs, then at least the short description that you have on their individual pages.
- The pages for a specific film roll are tagged (e.g. "street", "General purpose", etc.) but they are not clickable. It would be nice to click on the tags and see what other film rolls are available with that tag.
- For the example images: add arrow-key navigation (I noticed Esc key works, which is nice)
- Not all pictures scale to full screen (e.g. the first image here https://filmtypes.com/films/ilford-delta-100 https://filmtypes.com/films/ilford-delta-100). Is the resolution too low of the original image?
- I realize you want feedback, but the chatbox in the lower left (edit: lower right) annoys me a bit. It is easy to dismiss with a large X to close, so it boils down to personal preference. Have you gotten good feedback from it? If not, maybe consider making your feedback email address more prominent.
edit to add:
- Consider making an "info" icon and place it next to "Specs" on each individual film roll page. When clicked, a small pop-up can be shown that explains what you mean by contrast, color tone etc.
- rylax 7y agoThank you so much for the feedback. Absolutely appreciate it! You are spot on with your feature requests and assumptions. I had the clickable tag feature in mind but the others are new and really valuable! Also a good point with the feedback chatbox. I did get some feedback but in contrast to how annoying/prominent it actually is I will adjust it. I checked some sessions on hotjar and basically everyones first action is to dismiss the chatbox. I guess it makes much more sense on dedicated locations.
- staticautomatic 7y agoWhat's the deal with the tags? There's really nothing that makes a given film good or bad for "street" photography, for example. I also don't really understand the "nature" tag. What are these tags meant to imply about the film?
- rylax 7y agoThe tags serve as an additional way of showing what the given film is used for the most. It does not indicate if it is good or bad.
