Topic: Episodes redesign, comments and suggestions

Hey everyone. I'm working on redesigning the Episodes section and I can use your help and feedback.

Please let me know and I'll make it available to you, so you get an earlier access to test and help me polish it out.

All feedback will be appreciated!

Always happy to help out, and I'll point out the dark mode issues smile

DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

Re: Episodes redesign, comments and suggestions

Thanks for adding me. Already trying out everything I can think of.

First of all, love the design and functionality. Looks great !

Here my first feedback:

1.
When I use the "stop tracking" function I have to refresh the page before it shows up in the list down below.
In the current design it works directly without refresh (although the titles are a bit messy).

2.
I like the new "ignore" function. I do think it needs some explaining in the "How to use" section though.
With this function you also have to refresh once to see the "Manage Ignore" button on top.

3.
You can "unignore" an entire Season but not "ignore" an entire Season. I think a prohibited symbol next to the Season number would make sense as well - especially since you only see them if you have the function activated.

Deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Re: Episodes redesign, comments and suggestions

Wow! Really love it. It makes using the tags much easier, and understandable. I was able to run through a few things and so far I don't see any issues.

I've had tags setup for a really long time, but never felt it was easy to work with them. Now being able to drill right into them selecting from the bubble was very simple.

I'm also game to try out the new UI. Thanks!

You can't ask to start over just because you're losing the game.

Re: Episodes redesign, comments and suggestions

OK, not really impressed so far, every show is taking up way too much space.
This is for tracking what I have watched, I dont need things like streaming providers, or show images.

On the current system I can see at least 6 or 7 shows/episodes on screen before I need to scroll.
With the new page I can barely fit just three before having to scroll down (even if each has 1 episode).

Sorry but I hope this is optional, it makes the page less useful to me.
