Hey There!
So I don’t know on what version I am on now… There have been so many. Let’s hope this is the last one.
Inshort with this version I wanted to keep things as simple as possible.
Check it out - Bustedbear
Let me know any thoughts that you might have… Good or bad. Also if you find any bugs or issues let me know those too.
Thanks!
Love the site and the idea! Just some quick observations.
One thing I did notice, and its a usability thing, as a user I could see that it said I has five saves so I went up to the Your Saves Here button and it clicked it and it went to the saves page with not saves. I actually didn’t save anything a but it appears the counter just progresses.
There is also no apparent way to get out of this page, typically refereed to as a user dead end.
My suggestion would be to either disable the Your Saves Here button unless they have a save, or if they click on the button with no saves (which they probably will do just because its there) just throw up a small pop-up widget “You need to save something first…” or something similar. This will help teach the user the process, as well as mitigate the user dead end.
On the actual saves page provide an easy way to go back to the selection screen (random things selector). At the moment when you click the back button it takes them to the home page and I expected to go back to the selection page.
Also, when you click on the title of the thing it will take you to a new screen which is the same thing but without the show next button, I am not sure what additional info this page is supposed to show, but again its a dead end and may annoy inpatient users. I would either link this to more info or just disable it.
Hope this helps!
Hey @StevenM

Hey so this counter is actually site wide and shows how many other users have kind of saved a particular item. Which is why it says 5 or 11 or etc. If you save it will say “Saved” and the color of the box will change too.
There is also no apparent way to get out of this page, typically refereed to as a user dead end.
I thought clicking the website icon would take them to the homepage, will look into it and think of something different.
“You need to save something first…” or something similar. This will help teach the user the process, as well as mitigate the user dead end.
Ah crap, I thought I had added it… Will fix it now. Thanks for noticing.

Oh this is suppose to be the direct product page, there is a goto homepaage button at the bottom but this should be moved.
Thanks for pointing this stuff out! and taking the time out to let me know, I am gonna work on them and get them fixed.
Thanks!
