<span style="color:#ee9966">I would like to see more quick and dirty sketches of ideas. Like quick doodles on paper of all sorts of radical ideas. What you have here is a good optimization of the existing processes. But a radical reshaping of the process could have a much much bigger payoff in terms of improving usability.</span> | |||

<br>We added info buttons near interface-Elements that were misunderstood in our tests. So the user can get fast help without serching for it very long. We think this is a solution helping new users and not annoying user with a bigger knowledge. (images 5,6,7) | <br>We added info buttons near interface-Elements that were misunderstood in our tests.

<span style="color:#ee9966">The idea of allowing people to find out more info on the account setup screen is quite valuable. One thing to also consider is how to use information that the program can automatically detect. For example, Tor/Orbot is a separate app, and ChatSecure can detect if it is installed or not. So ChatSecure could change the account setup screen based on that.</span> | |||

<span style="color:#ee9966">It is interesting to see that you adding online presense to the interface. It used to be part of ChatSecure, back when it was called Gibberbot, but we actually removed the representation of online status to simplify things. It seems to be very much an open question of whether having online/offline presence info in messaging apps is a useful thing. Some people very much demand it, while for many it is just confusing. From what I've seen of new messaging apps, the trend in mobile apps is to remove it, but that could just be a trend that changes in a year. So perhaps there is a middle ground somewhere, a way to include the information without having be dominant or confusing.</span> | |||

<span style="color:#ee9966">Android is pushing away from Ok message boxes, and instead putting as much of the info inline into the interface as possible. The on/off switch is one example of that. I think these errors could also be represented inline too.</span> | |||

<span style="color:#ee9966">I think image numbers 13 (middle) and 14 (right) represent the online info the best. In 11 (left), it is too dominant and could be potentially confusing because people might think a contact went missing since its not on the Online list, and the offline list is far off the bottom of the screen.</span> | |||
