Watercress Home Revision: Product concept and route is correct

Article Description: from the product point of view, watercress this revision.

About this revision, I just want to say that the product concept and route is correct, but the design is a piece of excrement, the user experience trampling is to the point of appalling.

Directly to replace all the user's home page, did not use to guide the user to switch to the new version of the way, or even a small range of trial did not, stating that the north is too eager to take off the watercress said, is too eager to test the algorithm for the center of differentiated development of the route. I know it's not easy to wake up and be wrong, but not so radical. Just take their own decisions and goals as the center, do not consider or completely do not care about user feelings, this is how a conceited!

Such an immature product, even the internal trial of this one has not been (how many employees have been satisfied with this revision?) ), directly to the user, is also very irresponsible for themselves. I know you are in a hurry, I know you have to rush to the Chinese New year, but the pace is easy to pull to the egg, and then a few times such turbulence, again a strong user loyalty can not afford.

A hundreds of-year unchanged page as the homepage, you also want to want PV?

OK, let's talk about the problem of the homepage design:

1. Community content and book audio-visual content of the integration of the way it really should be?

You want to integrate, can, but this way is simply weak burst! Do you mix everything in a messy way, even if it's integrated? In addition to the cover picture and the entry content, it is impossible to distinguish the book audio and video entries. There is little difference between the group posts and the logs. The purpose of integration is to help users quickly find what they want, if you can not see the type of content at a glance, users how to make decisions?

2. Usability, readability, designers do you have any common sense?

There are two headings in a row, and even the same line will appear at the same time text and pictures, you want to let users see where? The picture robs the view, has to look, but the text does not look like again is regrettable. This is so tangled, okay! The view is disturbed, how can be efficient browsing? It's not like Pinterst's plain-reading content, all mixed together.

When the mouse across the time actually is the text become light? Such a big lump of stuff, I want to read things carefully you give me fade ...

Yes, to guess so many things, but also to consider such a "regular" layout, can imagine how complex your algorithm, but the complexity does not necessarily represent useful.

Finally, as a depth of watercress users, or want to give this watercress to guess the page to mention a little earnest hope:

1. This page is still useful, but it should not appear as a front page until the user proactively updates the policy. You can either cache multiple guesses and let me see things differently every time I refresh the page, or let me fork out what I've seen.

2. You can consider this page as a web app and read all the content on a single page. Watercress front end is not without this ability. You can refer to the design of Flipboard and erly.com.

3. You can consider to allow users to actively adjust their own algorithm, such as I want to book a little more audio and video, I want to live a little more, I think I am concerned about the neighbors like the content more points ... Instead of "liking", which is often used as read it later and Evernote, as it is now.

4. Must change stylist. Do not give me a touch of small fresh, I just want a clean, intuitive, logical clear, easy to read content aggregation.

5. Should add the book audio-visual commentary and user original log of the proportion. Now I can hardly see the most proud of the book audio and video commentary when Watercress made his fortune. When recommending books or film results, consider taking reading notes and essays.
