I collected some feedback from an acquaintance (who doesn't use the forum) regarding the UI/UX of HS website and would like to pass them on. Some of it may be dated or have been improved upon already , so apologies in advance.
Performance
- mod pages are quite laggy on their end ( they have a semi-potato PC, but the general performance of the website on their browser seems to be poor)
- this feeling is compounded by the fact you have to scroll down the modpage on HS no matter what, more on that in the UX bit
UI
- no contributors for emoji reactions
- featured section is too lengthy, especially as it's always unrolled by default, taking up to two screens
- finds the space allocation for mod info inconsistent on individual mog pages, sidebar takes too much screen space and attention because of all the unrolled by default sections, when the only relevant info on the sidebar that should be unrolled by default and at the top priority is the race/gender affected
- finds the zoom level by default of the search results wrt thumbnails size slightly too big, suggests organizing search results in rows of 4-5 during pagination instead of 3
- finds it difficult to tell apart the headers between Description vs Extra Files vs other sidebar info, leading to missing the Extra Files or resources entirely, suggests "tabs" to make it more partitioned
UX
- having to scroll down (two screens long !) on each modpage while laggy feels extremely bad, points to XMA as needing way way less screen space to convey same amount of info
- sidebar needs to be reorganized and has info overload (mostly due to the difficulty of hierarchizing info on it when rly, all ppl care about is race/gender in priority and because sections are all unrolled by default)
- as a creator, they find the renaming of the files to their sha64 after download makes it bothersome to locate files individually
- the search system, while promising, is found very lacking, in that thye struggle with finding ANY things despite searching common enough terms, thinks "fuzzy search or whatever XMA does" while a bit overkill would also make it also much easier to find things that are related to the keyword searched
