Book Writing Challenge

I like this Ui but it lacks some Ux tho. Let me begin with: how am I going to add the notes on the right side? The searchbar what should it search in here? Maybe it could be viewable as a book so I can have a good reference on how many pages I am currently using. I like the Chapter navigation, tho it wouldn't be an "add page" button I guess? So it is rather confusing, unless this book is 6 pages, 1 page per chapter? Would I as a writer be able to change the font? How about font size? Why would I need a hyper linked text if this is a book? I am able to see this online but not printed. Would I be able to close petition/comments or even answer back if needed? Will the comment section show me the full comments on the whole chapter? What will the options on the search input show me? In terms of Ui, I can barely distinguish between sections, contrast is too low, so I hope that's on purpose, and there seems to be an overlayed frame (over the document) where the comment content is positioned. The comment pins over the document I feel it could be better with the Avatar instead of the initial, also these don't seem to fit with the design, too pointy on the pin (hard edge) I would have loved seeing the homepage with the authors book files maybe. I hope this was helpful! :D (BTW, I had a similar idea on the comments, I just didn't finish :P https://framer.com/share/rCg03CgoleiFN0xo4uHo/pY1ee2tH8)

Hi Ydo, First you do great work with the colors and background, the containers look good and the typography also. However, as a user I thought your home screen is too crowded, Story and Leaderboard Challenge are to close each other. Suggestion: Story will display on top of the page, above the blue card.

The size of the Spash screen with other screens is not parallel, but it's not a problem, just the display. Maybe in the home section, specifically the card section, maybe some kind of element can be given so that it doesn't look empty. So far the UI is good and simple to use

beautiful, I like bright colors, but the writing is still legible suggestion : 1) add a screen to the category process 2) the color on the category icon is made the same as the writing and home icons (active icon) reason : 1) so that it is thought that when pressing the category icon it will be directed to Benny's post. 2) to make the hierarchy look more the same

Hi Fiona, first I have to notice that I'm a new member and not sure if my feedback is relevant. I have some experience with UI app design and in my opinion, your navigation bar is too low. For example the text and button on "Page 23" it too close to the "Safe area". You should add height to your navigation bar and up a little bit all texts and buttons. However, your app design is so clean and you do great work with typography.

Hi fiona! I like simple and minimalistic design which easy to understand . The bottom nav bar height is so small which is difficult to access other than that I liked the mobile view. The colour selection is also great by not overwhelming the screen with colours.

Thank you very much Julie for your feedback. I'd like to explain a bit why I chose to makea mobile app over a desktop. Most writers prefer to write on the phone because it's easy to write anywhere, in the car, on vacation, and more. It's more convenient to use a desktop for writing, but it's a bit difficult to carry a laptop or desktop with you when going somewhere. This is why I chose to create a mobile app that has features for easy communication with editors and publishers, such as a chat feature

Hi Fiona, nice work ! The app you designed looks great and I really find it interesting that you added a "social network" part in the challenge ! In my understanding though, I feel that the challenge was maybe pursuing a more "intimist" goal, with a close collaboration between the author and their given editor / publisher. I like the fact that mobile-first way of designing is booming but I really feel like a "desktop" solution to this challenge would be more appropriate since most of the authors write with computers. Kudos for your work !!

Hi Sooraj, Thank you for the feedback : )

Hi Prajakta, Like that you designed for desktop rather than mobile screens, wondering how book editor app looks in mobile version.

Hi Kunal, Thank you so much for the feedback : ) I'll keep color contrast in mind while designing ; )

Adding to Julie's comment, you can also work on colour contrast. Green on the White background & vice versa doesn't work.

Hi Julie, Thank you for the feedback : ) The idea you proposed is really great and I will definitely gonna implement it in my design. Don't worry about your English ; ) I understood whatever you tried to convey.

Hi Prajakta, Nice design ! I feel you really understood the challenge behind author's work. I think what makes your design great is the fact that you focused on giving a clear and minimalist interface that allows focusing on the editor / author's work, even in the color choice, which is really smooth ! Maybe some complementary ideas : - Allowing to make notes on a specific line, allowing both the editor & the author to work faster on the adjustments - A feature to help the editor / publisher "categorize" the notes, maybe like the app Grammarly proposes, meaning that the author can, with a simple glance, understand if they have to re-work on the grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, simplifying a sentence, etc. Sorry for the bad english, we Frenchies aren't reknowned for our language mastering skills lol.

Great work! Pros - good work with typography hierarchy and the colors you pick. Cons - In my opinion, the color of the content is too darker, try to do that brighter.

Thanks, Jayashree for your valuable response I am definitely working on this in the next challenge.

Hello Parth. I find this design very inspiring. Pros- The UI is very clean and functional. I love the "goal setting option" you have brought in, very thoughtful. Very well thought and designed. Cons- The design appears pretty dull or dark, maybe its the choice of colors. Overall, this design is very smooth. I'm taking more ideas from this. Cheers!

Clean Interface! Good work

Your inspiration was familiar to me because I use both of those apps. Right now, it's not clear that this is to edit a book or collaborate on a publishing project. Using fictional text for the comments and having chapter titles for the headings might clarify your intention. Great work!! Thank you for sharing your idea :)

Designs are good. you have to show atleast few screens which solves the given problem. other than that great work keep posting.

Thank you Harish. I will focus on the interaction part of the design.

First of all did great research. great selection of illustration. the intreface look simple and easy to unserstand. Design look very block and less interactive. other than that good work
