Ask HN: Help with our UI
We've tried a few different times, & still trying to get it right. Would love your thoughts on the UI of the "my feeds" section at http://genjuice.com.
- kls 15y agoFor me personally I like vertical feeds arranged in rows, it helps to visually separate the items in peoples minds. There is long standing association with row = new item, column = data for row item. This goes back even further than computers and into pure mathematics, so it is culturally engrained. Honestly even if you made each box an banner image style rectangle that took up the three positions and kept it the same height, i would probably be more usable that current form. In saying that, design wise it does look nice, but you are going against some pretty engrained HCI and Human Factors.
- ariellescott 15y agoI admit we have not considered the idea of one image per row, and it's definitely worth testing because it gives each content item more space for a stronger excerpt. Thanks for this!
