Flow/Design/Iteration 2

Design review notes on this iteration
Flow Design review — 2013-09-16

Overall Page

 * Need to define the look (and functionality) of page in 1st person (my board) vs 3rd person view of board page
 * Filters are shown "my mentions" but not part of MVP, access point may be used for history

Topic headers

 * Topics will always have initial post (not possible to separate them)
 * Post author should be emphasised more and moved to top of post
 * More contrast is needed in Topic headers, esp. for the meta data (users/comment)
 * How can we further distinguish conversations that have participants >1 vs ones that don't have responses yet
 * In meta data consider showing names and/or user names e.g. Brandon, May, and 3 others… rather than 5 participants
 * Show relative time stamps at all times rather than only on hover (No underline needed probably
 * Show what topics look like when there is a summary in place

Actions

 * Deemphasize hide/flag at topic level
 * Users should rename topics rather than flagging them
 * If topic and original post are unrecoverable (pure spam) flagging original post when there are no responses afterward will hide/delete/suppress original post and the topic
 * Nomenclature: Comment on Posts (topic) Reply to people.
 * Timestamp accesses object history
 * Right rail is for contextual actions
 * Separate Reply/Flag
 * Associate Reply/Thank

Missing UI elements

 * Add to Watchlist
 * Access to board history
 * Deleted item
 * Hidden item
 * Closed topic
 * Topic with summary
 * Collapsed Topic
 * Header for my board (freeform text box)
