- I found what you said very interesting, but
- my intention was to do some client-side customizations of Discourse with userstyles - this would work if you don’t need to create a theme.
- I just wanted to help with an mvp - minimum value product - wanted everyone to feel the ux experience with user styles without necessarily having to develop some plugin or theme
- For example, there is this repository called refined github, it’s a place where you post improvements to github - there’s even an extension in browser to make this possible.
- My idea would be similar to this idea of this repository. Perhaps, we could create a refined-discourse - a userstyles.css file that contains various visual enhancements like an mvp. So the community can see what is best and what makes sense.
- That would be really cool, seeing the adjustments that need to be made even without necessarily having to implement or create a theme or plugin.
- Thought of this as I thought the idea of compact messages was really good, I thought of this, we can customize this with userstyles - That would be an easy way
- This would be what I call the wizard of oz experience. - You wouldn’t need to spend a lot of time developing your idea if you make a userstyles.css
- Wizard of Oz experiment: In the field of human–computer interaction, a Wizard of Oz experiment is a research experiment in which subjects interact with a computer system that subjects believe to be autonomous , but which is actually being operated or partially operated by an unseen human being.
- People could see the improved ux/ui without having to have a theme or plugin
- For those who use userstyles it may seem like it’s a theme or plugin - but the truth is it’s not
- this looks like an idea for an mvp - minimal value product
- Is this a bad idea?
- was the last question, if you can be happy with your view or point of view on this
- I want more feedback ;D
