Suggested Features To Enhance And Improve User Reading Experience For Steemia Mobile Application
Repository
https://github.com/Steemia/Steemia
Components
My suggestion is about the installation of fonts sizes, font type options, easy access to comment and making the bookmark option to also serve as save for offline mode on steemia mobile application.
- It can be downloaded here
Proposals
Font sizes: Steemia application can be made in a way that it will be possible to change or switch among various font sizes such as small, medium, large and extra large.
There are some steemia user that may like reading with small font while others prefer reading with a very large font.
Font types: Steemia application can also be adjusted in a way in which user will be able to choose among various font types they find perfect for their sight. Examples of general font that can be added are Droid sans, droid serif, libre baskerville, and roboto slab
Easy access to comment section: as there are some articles that usually generate lots of comment. It become a stressful task to first scroll down the article before been able to access the comment section. A swipe features can be implemented so as to make it easy to access comment faster. Steemia mobile application can implement a swipe right to access the comment section and a swipe left to go back to the article.
Make the bookmark option to serve as save for offline mode: Currently on steemia mobile application when a user bookmark an article, there is still always a need for internet connection in other to access all their previously bookmarked article. steemia mobile article can be adjusted in a way in which a user will be able to download an article anytime they click bookmark an article button.
Mockups / Examples
Below is an image and Gif illustration to show how it should look like.
The gif above shows how font size, font type and easy access to comment section can be implemented on steemia mobile application.
The image above show that an offline mode section can be created where user can enable and disable offline access, display download progress and finally option to download articles and comment when the save button is clicked upon.
The image above show a red arrow pointing to an article downloading for offline mode after clicking the boomark/save button.
Benefits
This proposed features will help improve users reading experience, since there are some people with short sightedness and also there are some people with long sightedness. Any user having problem with their sight after the newly installed feature can choose among different font sizes and font types that best suit their need.
It will also assist easy access to comment section, there by increasing user experience. Since user can easily access the comment section by swiping their mobile screen to the right.
Users will be able to have faster access to all their bookmarked/saved article anytime they are in poor internet location. Since not all user will always be at a place with good internet connection at all time. They can now go back to all their previously saved articles.
Since there will be an improved user experience while using steemia mobile application, this will also help promote the application as more user will be willing to use steemia mobile application as their preferred application to access steemit content.
