UX: clean up search/filter #154
Comments
visual appearance by lining up could be the first (easy) thing to do, and reduce the white space between the header and title. |
Here's a figma with a proposed layout: |
Agreed that this is starting to become quite problematic,
An alternative is to push them to the left on large screens. Layouts/designs like https://80000hours.org/job-board/ are quite common and imo functional.
I'd suggest this in its own PR. It will be easier to test that no links are broken that way.
Perhaps there is a way of making it less confusing to users? I could see a separator as an option, maybe with text saying something about "from the civic tech taxonomy project ..."? To be frank, the reason I want both to be in is that I don't believe in having tags that cannot be selected, and from my point of view there is a purpose in "collaborating" with other projects. |
Personally, I'm okay with a feature being temporarily removed/made
experimental while it's still being developed, as the taxonomy is still
actively being developed. Once we get a larger percentage of tags
categorized in the taxonomy I'd consider it to be less experimental. That
said, the figma layout I drew up last night does incorporate both issues
and tags in a way that I think might solve all the problems at once?

-I would really like to use EITHER taxonomy or topic, I think having both
issues and topics is confusing to the user. Since taxonomy is not fully
ready yet, one possible solution is to make issues/taxonomy an
"experimental feature" and allow folks to enable it with a setting saved to
localstorage?

If I'd make a guess, making it enablable as an "experimental feature" is
equivalent to temporarily remove it, no one will enable it.

I agree on the goal of this. Some questions on the figma design: I have concern with point "c", somewhere we need to have all the topics retrieved from the crawler. |
a) Global search, I think Not sure what you mean about removing topics or substituting them with taxonomy items, but maybe my explanation of c) helps clarify? |
A short(er) summary of my thoughts. The figma design keeps growing on me every time I look at it 😛 I'd propose considering/discussing a tree-view (I know @giosce found some tree library he liked but I can't find the link right now, so something like react checkbox) for the taxonomy in a follow-up issue. Does that make sense? |
We ought to decide how we want search/filter to look. Right now there are 8 things people can click on on
projects
, scattered around various parts of the page, and it's starting to look messy. It would be great to clean this up.Options (we can do one or more of these):
-Hide most features under an "advanced search" tab
-Tweak the visual appearance of the filters/etc so they line up a little nicer
-Change to global search vs search on columns
-I would really like to use EITHER taxonomy or topic, I think having both issues and topics is confusing to the user. Since taxonomy is not fully ready yet, one possible solution is to make issues/taxonomy an "experimental feature" and allow folks to enable it with a setting saved to localstorage?
