This post is part of a project for the Web Development specialization at Holberton New Haven.
In response to the fake user persona and story map below, I have come up with the following ideas to improve overall user experience.
Addressing Specific Pain Points
- instead of users initially scrolling endlessly, have a favorite song or favorite artist widget so that users can begin listening to them without typing in their entire name in the search bar
- instead of a randomly choosing songs even from the same artist, switching between entire genre’s should be avoided to ensure a consistent user experience
- make it so that clicking on the specific header in a list, sorts that list by that header. Clicking on year should switch between different sorting methods such as sorting by oldest or newest.
Opinions
Student #1:
I think the colors and font need to be closer to Spotify’s original look, but otherwise the feature seems straight-forward.
Student #2:
It’s missing a way to toggle it off and on. And there should be a “Less” button so that “Load more…” doesn’t go to infinity.
Student #3:
I like it. I would totally use it.
Student #4:
The widget needs to follow the font. The color is fine because it allows it to pop out just enough to know that it is its own thing.
Student #5:
Missing an “exit” and a minimize button. I like the concept.
