User interface design helps us adapt the systems we use to serve a broad set of interests and backgrounds -- especially this very website. In the spirit of Public Lab collaborative work, this page is for sharing and discussing user interface related information.

A number of projects are in progress; we work to make sure they are broken into small enough parts so that people can take them on and solve them. Some are listed at the bottom of this page.

UI challenges

We are seeking to improve the UI design of the following pages:

• https://publiclab.org/ (i.e. https://publiclab.org/home)
• https://publiclab.org/welcome (see #15796)
• Navigation bar (and sidebars/footers)

• https://publiclab.org/tags (or “topics” or “environmental concerns” or /issues? with priority on Oil + Gas)

• https://publiclab.org/people ?

  • https://publiclab.org/events (could this fit under people, or regions?)
• https://publiclab.org/methods

• https://publiclab.org/dashboard

  • Maybe: work on /topics, /people, /events, then integrate them into here instead of a firehose activity feed

• https://publiclab.org/search/balloon - search in general, with some issues here

• https://publiclab.org/profile (i.e. https://publiclab.org/profile/stevie)
• https://publiclab.org/questions (see #14523)
• https://publiclab.org/blog
• https://publiclab.org/signup - being worked on in the OAuth project

Workflow

We are using this shared Google Presentation to iterate on design solutions, as well as Froala Design Blocks and their drag and drop editor to develop design solutions for these pages. Please post a proposal or sketch if you'd like to get involved!
