Upcoming redesign of your start page - we need your input!

Known As I · started 2019-09-24 11:15 · updated 2019-09-26 20:50

We're working on a redesign of the website (some of you might have heard of that, already).

We've come to a point where we have to decide what information shall be shown on your start page.

Some ideas to get you started:

  • latest tracks of my followees
  • new tracks tagged as #kevin and #banana
  • Current Christian Goa-Trap charts
  • Changelog

What else do you need for your everyday life on AT?

This could be part of a separate "statistics" page.

Important News

Changelog, notifs about updates, new followers, new tracks by followers, and latest charts in 'subscribed' genres (or genres that you post frequently in)

Oh, gotcha.

As a fun little easter egg, can we get a Peter button hidden somewhere on the website?

omg please

Remove 'can you categorise these tracks?'

2019-09-25 13:04 · 2019-09-25

That would be awesome!

2019-09-25 13:04 · 2019-09-25

Yeah, I never thought about these.

2019-09-25 13:12 · 2019-09-25

I mean, this suggestion would probably be in the far future, what if you'd be able to choose what information is displayed on your start page? Like, maybe one day you'd want to see a changelog, and the next, you'd want to see recent tracks from followers? It may be a cool idea to check off a box to have that information shown, but maybe that's just me :/

We still should invite users to classify tracks - but maybe on the track's page of the player.

artist of the week, song of the day

Accessibility and customization(theme workshop?) should be a priority.

Customization is part of the concept.
What do you mean by accessibility in this context?

Contrast, but not so much its distracting, look at discord's old dual color light mode as an example. Greyscale compatibilty should be a focus, a while ago(idk if changed yet) the blue of they playback bar blends perfectly into the charcoal of the background if displayed grayscale.

Thanks for the reminder about the grayscale mode.

The ability to change fonts, and having at least one dyslexia friendly font would be good to have as well.

That's more of a global thing than related to the start page.
We won't offer that as a dedicated function because it would make the design too expensive. But users with disabilities may still use the normal approaches like zooming, replacing fonts and overriding the browser's style with a custom style-sheet.

Oh yeah I forgot about those!
:p

That'd be great
