Glide Usability Issues

@AyS_0908

no change takes 5 mn when it comes to deploy in Production.

I used to run 3 software businesses and I can assure you that making small css changes take very little time, For the dark theme I’m talking about changing the color of the drop down menu borders, making the font white instead of gray, making the progress bar white instead of black, stuff like that. Literally minutes.

Customer experience for Internal Business Users typically takes a back seat because they are “forced” to use it. It seems like a lot of us in these forums though either build apps for our own B2C business or have clients that are B2C, thus customer experience and design are a top priority.

I think Usability should always be a priority, but it rarely is. How many developers do you know that actually do Usability Testing during the development cycle?Not that many but large companies like Amazon does, that’s why they know the orange button should be a certain size and be in a certain location, deviating that would cost them millions. I get that it’s not as sexy as adding new cool features but hey, non-sexy actions create sexy products.

Here’s another usability issue that’s very easy to fix. The actions are not ordered in alphabetical order, so I literary have to read each one to find the one I’m looking for.

Solution: sort by alphabetical order.

Just so everybody knows, Glide is my favorite No Code tool, by far (and I checked out almost all of them). If I’m complaining a bit about usability is because I care and want Glide to be even more awesome, not because I think it’s not good. @david

Thanks for keeping Glide on top of their UX game @SuperMerabh For what it’s worth, I think Glide’s UX is a lot better than many other no-code designs but we can all always continuously improve.

I’m a UX/UI noob but this Google UX course helped me gain a better understanding of the psychology/emotion that good or bad design can give the user. “Feng Shui” is their exact description of what UX is. If anybody is interested, here’s a link to their course: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design

Course looks good! Notice on the 4th course it says:

• Conduct a moderated and unmoderated usability study.
• Take notes during a usability study.

Out of interest, what other nocode platforms have you used? Do they implement your requirements in a preferred manner?

I used to run software projects and if you have thousands of customers, they tend to bombard you with their wish lists and features requests. It is impossible to please everybody. That said, a good idea is to dedicate 1 day a month just for small yet effective usability fixes. Even just one day will go a long way.

In yesterday’s zoom session, the team proved everyone how fast issues like that can be resolved, literary minutes! Not all issues, but simple ones - yes.
