Dev.to new edit format feedback and other suggestions

John Peters - Jun 3 '20 - - Dev Community

Was wondering what others thought about the new article edit layout?

Here's my thoughts...

  • Shouldn't all buttons be at bottom?
    [Edit] [Preview] [Save Draft] [Manage] [Publish] [Revert New Changes]
    Don't have to scroll, as the cursor is always at new line of edit.

  • Also, the new preview uses a white background, which makes the javascript harder to read. Wouldn't a dark gray background be better?

  • The Tagging input could be a checkbox dropdown with filtering as we type. This way we can see all tagging options.

  • Also if we hover over our name icon now we see a drop down of things to do, could we add a [View Drafts] option?

  • One other cool thing, when we go to dashboard and view our posts, if a search bar was in that screen, it would make it easier to search just our posts. No a big deal....

  • A direct way to message a member of Dev.To, just go to their icon, then a menu option "Send Message" allows us to communicate directly. Would be nice to have message history (as in RSS feeds when we text messages to phone numbers)
