RE: Eye Tracking and User eXperience, Steemit
Steemit needs to be "prettier" -for lack of a better word- if we want more people to use it. Busy looks better, but it's impossible to create a post, it's so frustrating. At least Busy has a nice design. The look of Steemit hasn't changed since i joined last July, and it needs a better design.
the clean and "distraction-free" view, to borrow from WordPress here, is one of its major advantages and one additional reason making it so much better than cluttered Facebook and the likes. So, guys over at Steem, be careful to not lose this important "selling point" in an attempt of "making it pretty" (it already is)!
More important would be certain usability functions (like Searching inside Steem for certain posts etc, still haven't figured out that one, or is it just me...?) and possibly an easier sign-up process (it's not a coincidence that Twitter and Facebook make this soooo borderline-idiotic easy as the know a thing or two about marketing and conversion rates -- if nothing else :) though).
Just my 2p...
Agreed, I really like the clean white theme too however I think the site is a little bit too raw, it doesn't look like a finished product. It's possible to have both a clean and pretty interface, look at medium. Sometimes you just have to add a few details to make it look slick and polished, I also hope that with the new communities feature users will be able to personnalized their page like reddit, it makes it more inviting and lively.
clean and distraction free is a BIG thing to me.
I hate "busy" webpages.(not the steemit busy..but the other kind)
If not "prettier," at least more "modern" looking. The current format is a little on the "early 2000s message board" side. It doesn't bother me severely; at least it's pretty uncluttered... but a "general" user will expect more features to be in evidence.
Yes, that's "pretty much" what I meant. 😉 People are used to lots of nice graphics and features, like the Busy platform. If Steemit wants to catch on, it's going to have to upgrade, IMHO.
Pawn to e4!
Oh, and I agree!
