All things considered, the site's had a super solid launch and first few days! Everything's simple and understandable, freeform but with no malarkey. There's no big things I can think of to suggest, really, but there are a few little things that could be added to make some lives a bit easier. These are by no means changes that are absolutely necessary or something I'm demanding to be added- the site would function peachy keen without them. These are just little quality of life things. hence the title of this thread. If any of you other members have some ideas and/or feedback, respond away! My little suggestions are as follows:
- Plotter / Tracker Board
Plotters and trackers are by no means necessary. Some people find them to be more of a chore than anything. Trackers usually, well, keep track of a character's expenditures. Threads, relationships with other characters, or even potential plot hooks for others to latch onto. An optional sub-board in the Character Creation could be very nice. giving a little more space for members who do want to have a little extra tidiness to their setup to keep track of things without cramping up their application with tons of additional stuff that would make it very cluttered. All Talk can work for trackers as well, but having a proper place to go can give other people another good place to go to read more about others' characters histories!
- Hotbar Additions
The hotbar, or whatever it's called, is the little bar on the bottom with things like "Home," "Profile," "Messages," etc. Unless something with the site theme I'm not aware of conflicts with it, I believe you can add more links to it! Putting a link to the Discord down there in addition to the one on the news ticker would make it a bit easier to see, since it'd be right by the Profile button most of us click when we're starting off. You can add other things down there, like linking specific searches to things like Open Threads and Incidents, or any other important things that aren't already obvious to read to make sure they get noticed.
- Color Palette Plugin
For some of us who color our characters' dialogue, constantly needing to look up or copy-paste the specific color code between posts can be a bit of a chore. At least, that's what it's like for me. There's a plugin that can resolve this quite easily, allowing you to save certain colors and use them at your leisure! Here it is, for reference: www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/76
- Indexes and Such
I recall a passing mention of things like Factions being properly implemented once folks get some more Stature and whatnot, so this bit might be a part of the plan already. But much like the List of Taken Quirks, more indexes/rosters of these sorts could work wonders. Once UA properly gets rolling, maybe there can be a index listing out all the main classes and what teachers/students are in each of them! Or there could be some sort of "Top 10 Heroes/Villains" down the line like in the anime based off Stature, but I'm a bit uncertain about that one.
That's all that really comes to my mind right now. Again, I'm super impressed with how the site's come out, and the world won't end if any or all of these aren't smacked in. But I hope it gives some decent ideas or food for thought!
