Observations

Note: this feature is still in development so there are some known issues (which I’m sure I’ve hit here).

  • Blocker: tapping “+ Add Link” in a new menu resulted in a phantom UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. (looks like it doesn’t move over into view like it should?).
  • The “+ Add a Menu” button is hard to spot on mobile if you have several menus saved already.
  • The “+ Add a Menu” button is sits really close to the bottom menu bar in Safari on iOS. Some space below it could help make it a bigger tap target.
  • After tapping the “Reorder” link, I was surprised I could still tap and hold to drag menu items.
  • Scrolling is really hard on iOS, especially with the menu items being so wide on a small device screen.
