MVP

My MVP was quite far from the app I intended to build in both design and API functionality, so I focused on getting feedback a little later in the process. Still, here is some useful feedback I received on my MVP:

-In a Q&A session, Pol Klein noted that the behavior that the way the word blocks moved unevenly on the page when a user clicked to get a definition was distracting.
-I wasn’t happy with the way the prompts kept repeating due to the small word banks.

Robot 1.0

Improvements made: Many! Designed the basic look of the robot and got my web server working in order to get random words from the Words API rather than the word bank. Added an option to toggle the g-rated setting.

Feedback:
-One user mentioned that the intro text content looked a little clunky and that it was confusing that the red G-rated toggle button was above the New Prompt button, thus making it more prominent
-I noticed that special characters showed up as X in words returned from the API. Also, less-than-deal short phrases with spaces and dashes.
-My mentor suggested putting feet on the robot in order to score HTML joke points

Robot 2.0

Improvements made: adjusted design to put g-rated button below New Prompt button, within the body of the robot. Added feet. Added a param to the Words API call to only get a-z, A-Z characters.

Feedback:
-users mentioned odd nouns and fragments (like “Fri” and roman numerals)
-several users wanted a few more visual elements to make the robot look more like a robot
-one user recommended having the word boxes change color when a user hovers over them, and possibly some text like ‘click to get the definition’
-one user recommended adding a feature like a spinner to indicate that the words are going to change every time a user presses the prompt button
-two users recommended reducing the height of the robot boxes for the mobile view so that users don’t have to scroll so much to see the whole prompt

Next changes to make:
-add more robot styling, like an antenna, ear bolts, and possible a little triangle to make the intro text look more like  a speech bubble
-change color of boxes during hover
-reduce box height in mobile view
-explore spinner feature
