wasteof3 beta feedback so far:

  1. typewriter font looks cool but is grating on the eyes

  2. your chosen theme color should be shown in more places (https://wasteof.money/posts/626721b7506292d5685549c9)

  3. you should be able to choose a theme color for your profile, posts, etc (like one that is displayed to other users) and a theme color that’s just for you, that the rest of the site, except for other themed pages, changes to.

  4. profile customization is REALLY COOL. I love it! just a minor bit of feedback, the buttons are a bit cramped and hard to press

  5. PLEASE add back the close button to like the wysiwyg editor and edit viewer. I do a lot of wasteofing on my watch and I can’t close these dialogs without the button. and it’s pretty easy to add so why not

  6. sveltekit is SOO nice. I just love the app-like feel

  7. when you go to another users profile and then directly to your own, the edit profile button doesn’t show up

  8. pagination is kinda weird: when you have more than like 4 pages it shows 3 dots in between. if you click on the dots it will open a number input that lets you go to a certain page. personally i’d rather just have it show every page instead.

  9. spacing on the top bar on the right is a bit weird; the buttons aren’t equally spaced

  10. the numbers in the numbered list in this editor are overflowing the side

  11. This isn’t a bug but a feature request: i’d rather have more submit buttons like one for the dropdown of timeframes on the explore page, that way it works better on apple watch

  12. i’d also love open graph protocol support so when you send a post to someone it shows a little preview of that post. even better, when you send a link on wasteof.money it should show a preview of that too!

  13. i’d also like bolder, non-pastel colors for your theme color

  14. also it’d be really cool if comments had likes. they’re already stored with a similar schema to posts in the db so it wouldn’t be that hard but these aren’t really about the beta

  15. messages are weird, I accidentally marked as read 2 of my messages just by clicking on them. I’d rather have like checkboxes and a submit button like wasteof2. Or a really cool idea: what about a 2 column design and you can drag and drop messages from 1 side to another. that might not work on mobile but still would be really cool

  16. also saving to localstorage would be nice

that’s all I have rn, i’ll edit this post in the future

  1. typewriter font looks cool but is grating on the eyes

    1. I haven’t really noticed this (probably because I spend so much time staring at monospace fonts in terminals and text editors..). But lots of people have suggested a sans serif theme. I’m working on doing this (or just using sans serif for post content)

  2. your chosen theme color should be shown in more places (https://wasteof.money/posts/626721b7506292d5685549c9)

    1. Not sure, because I don’t want to make the design look too busy. But I understand what you mean.

  3. you should be able to choose a theme color for your profile, posts, etc (like one that is displayed to other users) and a theme color that’s just for you, that the rest of the site, except for other themed pages, changes to.

    1. This is something I’ve thought about, but I don’t want to make it too complicated. I’ll have to work on a simple UI for something like that.

  4. profile customization is REALLY COOL. I love it! just a minor bit of feedback, the buttons are a bit cramped and hard to press

    1. Thanks :) I had trouble making things fit, but I’m still tweaking things to make it easier to use, especially on smaller screens.

  5. PLEASE add back the close button to like the wysiwyg editor and edit viewer. I do a lot of wasteofing on my watch and I can’t close these dialogs without the button. and it’s pretty easy to add so why not

    1. Thanks, I’ve just released an update to do that. — But keep in mind, wasteof.money isn’t designed for smart watches. I can’t dedicate time to making things work on smart watches if there’s only like 1 user on the whole site who uses them.

  6. sveltekit is SOO nice. I just love the app-like feel

    1. Agreed, it’s so much faster than Nuxt v2!!

  7. when you go to another users profile and then directly to your own, the edit profile button doesn’t show up

    1. That’s wacky. I’ll look into that.

  8. pagination is kinda weird: when you have more than like 4 pages it shows 3 dots in between. if you click on the dots it will open a number input that lets you go to a certain page. personally i’d rather just have it show every page instead.

    1. It’s intentional, because in some cases there were hundreds of links shown at once. Although, I agree that the threshold to truncate the pagination should probably higher.

  9. spacing on the top bar on the right is a bit weird; the buttons aren’t equally spaced

    1. True. I’m not satisfied with it entirely either. Still working on it :)

  10. the numbers in the numbered list in this editor are overflowing the side

    1. I’m seeing that too. It’s strange, but unfortunately not entirely in my control. Maybe I’ll try adding some padding.

  11. This isn’t a bug but a feature request: i’d rather have more submit buttons like one for the dropdown of timeframes on the explore page, that way it works better on apple watch

    1. See my comment above re. apple watches.

  12. i’d also love open graph protocol support so when you send a post to someone it shows a little preview of that post. even better, when you send a link on wasteof.money it should show a preview of that too!

    1. Same. The old site had it, and I’ll work on it for the new site before full release.

  13. i’d also like bolder, non-pastel colors for your theme color

    1. The issue is, it’s hard to get text to contrast on it. But yes, I’m working on it :P

  14. also it’d be really cool if comments had likes. they’re already stored with a similar schema to posts in the db so it wouldn’t be that hard but these aren’t really about the beta

    1. Personally, I don’t really like the idea of having likes on comments (plus I doubt comments would get many), but I can see the appeal. I think they get in the way of proper discussion though.

  15. messages are weird, I accidentally marked as read 2 of my messages just by clicking on them. I’d rather have like checkboxes and a submit button like wasteof2. Or a really cool idea: what about a 2 column design and you can drag and drop messages from 1 side to another. that might not work on mobile but still would be really cool

    1. Well, if you click on them, it’s assuming that you read them.. The checkbox stuff was a little too complex, and tedious to manage. The column idea is interesting, but it probably won’t work great when you have hundreds of messages. Still working on it..

  16. also saving to localstorage would be nice

    1. Yes, this is planned too.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, I’m definitely still working on wasteof3, and it’s all appreciated!
