( | Overall it's looking good! Here are my comments: | ||
* Adblock got featured on the front page for one page load, but the preview image just says "1145". | |||
* The little orange arrow in the green "install now" link looks too much like a UI element, implying a dropdown menu there. | |||
* "Mozilla is providing links to these applications as a courtesy, and makes no representations regarding the applications or any information related there to." Given the legalese disclaimer, is "We Recommend" ok to say? The disclaimer in the footer also seems to be forced to 3 centered lines. Can this be flowed like normal text, non-centered, so it doesn't take up so much space? | |||
* The [http://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/addons/browse Browse] page linked from the right-hand navigation bar seems awkward. It only lists extensions and themes; no dictionaries, plugins, or search engines. But still, "Browse" seems a misfitting title for this page, since I'm not able to browse anything. Maybe "Other Addons" or "More Addons", since it's in proximity to "Recommended Addons"? | |||
* Can "Recommended Addons" be things other than extensions? If so, things at this level should be identified as to why type of addon they are. | |||
* The "Dictionaries" link on the right is a 404. Empty theme categories give just a plain "No addons in this category" page. | |||
* The "Search Engines" page is inconsistent with the other top-level addon-type pages (should be a list of categories). Will Remora be incorporating the Mycroft content? | |||
* Plugins... Oh boy. Entries should look like other addons (formatting, download button, etc.). Can we do OS detection here (like extensions?) and provide a single appropriate link? The links to plugindoc.mozdev.org should go elsewhere (wiki.m.o?). Mozdev isn't the right place for this kind of content. It might be worth considering giving each plugin its own page, and have the top-level plugins page list them (in a format similar to the categories on other top-level addon-type pages). Not to be a Suite hater, but the Mozilla Suite doesn't need to be mentioned here. | |||
* The list of extension (and theme) categories seems to be in a random order. Please sort. | |||
* Simplify the extension details by dropping the time-of-day, and round the size to the nearest KB. "Version 2.89 — November 3, 2006, 1:28 pm — 171 Bytes" becomes "Version 2.89 - November 3, 2006 - 1KB". [Alternatively, drop the time-of-day if the date is more than a week old.] The version doesn't need to be shown both here and in the extension title (at the top of the page). Looks like a bug with the size, as everything seems to be about 200 bytes. | |||
* I mentioned this last time, but it isn't clear how a category with lots of entries is going to show them all. Just a big pile of links at the bottom of the page? It might be helpful to add a 10 or 20 items in some category, so that the UI can be evaluated. | |||
* Can the URLs be made more readable? "http://xxx/en-US/addons/browse/1/38" is maningless, "http://xxx/en-US/addons/browse/extensions/image_browsing/" is much better. | |||
* "View Previous Releases" for an addon is 404. | |||
* s/Add a review/Add your review/? If there are no reviews, be a little more verbose, eg "No reviews for this addon -- add your review". (Doing this on a single line avoids a bunch of white space for unreviewed addons). | |||
* Ditto the above for comments. The difference between comments and discussions isn't very clear. A better format might be (ignore Wiki's whitespace): | |||
:::: '''Discussions''' | |||
::::<u>This thing is awesome</u> | |||
::::(2 replies, last by SomeGuy on December 3rd) | |||
: | |||
::::<u>This thing sucks</u> | |||
::::(no replies, posted by SomeGal on January 4th) | |||
: | |||
::::<u>View all</u> (14 topics) | |||
::::<u>Add a new topic</u> <--- remove this link? | |||
* If no discussions exist for an addon, don't show "See all discussions (0)". Just make it a single link (ala my previous reviews comment) | |||
* When viewing discussions, there should be a note that you need to log in to add a new comment/topic. | |||
* When viewing a specific addon, the breadcrumb should include the addon type... "Home > Addons > EXTENSIONS > IceWidget". Ideally the breadcrumb would show the trail you followed to get there (ie, the category), but that's probably a Harder Problem. | |||
* Nice effect with the animation to show a review's content, but that makes it inconsistent with clicking on a discussion topic (which doesn't animate to show the topic's body, but takes you to a new page). The review text should just be shown by default (subject not linkified for animation), probably trimmed (with an appended "more" link that animates to show the rest?) so that long reviews don't take up more than a few lines by default. | |||
Hmm, I guess that's enough comments for now! :-) | |||
