When a feature is broken and / or not performing as intended
Steps to reproduce:
/read/feeds/:feed_id
I didn't expect that because the UI never told me that clicking the button means "Unsubscribe". There's also no affordance that would tell me that it behaves like a toggle button.
How to do it better? On Twitter/X, the "Following" button changes to "Unfollow" (in red) on mouse hover:
Screen.Recording.2025-01-25.at.10.05.54.mov
On Facebook, clicking on the ":+1: Liked" button opens a "Follow settings" modal that is basically the same thing as our "Manage subscription" page (
/read/subscriptions/:sub_id
). There I can unlike/unfollow the page.One more thing: when I click "+ Subscribe" again, Reader immediately shows me this modal:
I found this very confusing: after subscribing, I'd expect to see a very visible confirmation that "you just successfully subscribed to veselin.blog" and only as a footnote there should be "Suggested Sites". But this modal is all about "Suggested Sites" and there is nothing about the subscription I just created. Except the very vague and indirect "While you're at it..."
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
