Day 8 bugfixes are here!
The moment you all (well, some of you) have been waiting for - An overhaul of the mobile (and optionally, desktop) layouts!
Layout Overhaul
Optional fixed height & widths
On larger devices, clicking the ‘screen’ icon in the top-left will open up the Display menu. Here you can switch between having a full-screen or fixed-height page layout.
- Previously, fixed-height mode was forced on users that had smaller screens or touch screens. This led to a bad user experience, especially for users that had physical keyboards attached to tablets
- We’ve now given you the choice on how you want the screen to display
- Fixed-height mode now fixes the Quiz screen to be set height (530px high)
- This also much more closely resembles the old Reviews layout – so hopefully users that are pining for that to be back will also find it satisfactory!
Also in the Display menu, you can also choose to toggle between having a fixed-width too.
- Note that, for devices where this setting would be irrelevant (sub-1280px devices), this option is not there, and is instead replaced by the ‘Use Fullscreen’ option
Here are all the possible layout combinations on desktop screens:
Fixed width fixed height
Full height fixed width
Fixed height, full width
Full height full width
On mobile, the Hint button now always is available – regardless of if you’ve answered the question or not
Alternate answer carousel is now beneath the question
The alternate-answer carousel has moved places. It used to be above the input, and would take over the post-attempt submenu (where the Undo, Show Info, and See Answer buttons are). This carousel stood out far too much and got in the way. Not good.
Now, it is much smaller and has been moved to where the ‘leading-hint’ gets displayed.
Grammar Info now always displays beneath the quiz
- We tried displaying the Grammar Info inside of the drawer on mobile, but this was a bit clunky.
- Now, the Grammar Points display directly beneath the quiz, as they do on desktop.
Updated SRS info
In the top right of the screen lies the SRS info. This has got a juicy update too!
- Now when you get a question right or wrong, it will change color and number to represent your new level.
- Also, the icon next to it will tell you what type of question it is – whether it is a custom study review, a Ghost review, or a regular review.
Anyway, thanks for the patience guys!
