Of the design changes that we introduced this week, which design changes are hindering the work that you are doing, and how?
Obviously the lack of curation tools on Q&A content (that I'm aware simply aren't implemented yet,) but otherwise the general design feels harder to navigate. There's no comments section under questions to ask the asker clarifying questions, there's no separation between different kinds of content, and the colors seem too dark for some monitors to the point where you can hardly see a lighter dark grey because it just washes out to black. Additionally the navigation keybinds i'veI've grown used to seem to only work a small percentage of the time. (g+h, g+q, g+n, g+m)
The purpose of curation tools: Are they meeting your needs? How could they be improved? - What are we missing?
Since the current beta doesn't have curation tools, I'll approach this based on the tools on the live site. For Q&A, I don't feel like i'mI'm missing anything, and they do meet my needs today. However, I do recognize that they aren't in a great place for serving the needs of users who come here for help and fail to provide the "Ask Questions, Get Answers, No Distractions" tagline the tour provides. Discussions content currently has no form of curation... and that's bad.
The necessity of all current tools: Are there tools you feel are redundant or no longer useful? Reconfiguring tools: Are there ways we can adapt existing tools to better serve the needs of the community?
I feel votes on questions (both up and down) are in a bad place. Upvotes don't indicate anything useful, and downvotes don't provide any useful information to askers or answerers. I'm generally a fan of the overarching strategy of the new curation system outlined here, however I'm still skepticalsceptical you'll provide us with the tools to actually remove the unhelpful content we need to given the complete inaction we've seen surrounding discussions, both the original version and the current one now known as open ended questions.
