While the content is great, this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had trying to navigate and read content. I love the concept, but the UX and the answers to "what do I click on, where do I look" were horribly confusing for this first-time user.
- avdempsey 13y agoAgreed that there are some UX rough edges here. Most importantly to me it wasn't immediately clear that the article commentary boxes could scroll. Cool concept though, and I'm a sucker for discussions about autonomous cars.
- Turing_Machine 13y agoYes, scrollbars (or something) are desperately needed there. Ideally there'd be something like a maximize button or an obvious drawer control that would let you bring the text to full screen (or nearly so). Reading anything more than a sentence or so long in that format is just painful.
- btown 13y agoA simple "Next" button on the caption popover would have made the UX a million times better. It's painful when UX designers don't grab low-hanging fruit like this.
- _dark_matter_ 13y agoArgh, I know. I think it needs two things: A giant "NEXT" button on every page (especially the first; where do you click?) and then the author composed content needs to be bigger. That tiny box just does not suffice.
- austinz 13y agoI would have enjoyed it more if the text boxes containing the annotations were larger than business cards. Honestly, I would have enjoyed it the most if it were a standard long-form article. But even allowing the annotation boxes to be 'maximized' would have been a big improvement.
- DavidBradbury 13y agoI would have also liked it if, when I navigated to a new 'slide', that it scrolled the annotation back up to the top.
- mfish 13y agoyeah, i clicked the link, took one look, and left
- MetaCosm 13y agoYeah, me too. It really takes a uniquely terrible UI for me to just give up on it.
