Site Revamp (mostly pre-pubs)
-
This will be a List of stuff I would like to see improved on this site.
first of all, I do not know if there is an official post for this but I know there is one for bugs and I think we need one for how to improve the site.
Grids: I would like to have the option to see my Libray and the Titles you have as a Grid instead of a List.
pre-pubs: to read a pre-pub is more complicated than it needs to be and time-consuming. you first need to click right until you get to the FOUR options that have the specific part you want to read, you click that part and then you need to click Read. Why not make it more simple and easy. You could have a list on one side (like the left side) with all the Volumes that you can scroll down and not click next page, you click the specific Volume you want and to the right has the list (or grid) of parts all visible that you can click and read in one step. you can even have at the top of the parts list a button to buy that specific book. in programming, there is a thing that helps you picture the growth of time a program will run. O(n) (going through all the clicking until you find specific part which is n amount of clicks) and O(1) (constant time, which, in this case, is 2 clicks)

@drone205 Thanks for your feedback!
I'm pretty aware of all the issues you point out. A lot of the main site's flow needs to be rethought.

I'm really looking forward to JNC being reworked to improve usability, especially given how many releases and series there are now.

Another thing that needs to be revamped is allowing the site to handle multiple tabs. As it is for each new tab I open, I have to login again.
-
@nemesis You actually don't have to login again, but only need to reload the page (or maybe force reload with CTRL+F5, not sure which one was required), because the site caches the login status.
-
@Jaquobus Same here, I don't need to login on each new page either.
-
@terabyte Login status on browsers is saved into local storage (it's a token) so yeah, it will "auto" log you in if it detects the token.
Just open the tabs after you've logged in on the first tab. -
@sam-pinansky Yeah, I was saying it works just fine for me. I meant to reply to Jaquobus and not Nemesis actually lol
-
@Sam-Pinansky : Could you add an event-listener for "storage", and update the UI when the token is set? The event would fire in all tabs except the one where the user did the initial login.
