Out of the usability issues I've experienced when using Consul
Democracy, the biggest one has arguably been the fact that the link to
edit a proposal opens in a new tab. I guess the reasoning behind it is
that the page to edit a proposal is not part of the proposals dashboard,
but what the hell! Imagine if every link to edit something opened in a
new tab...
So we're reducing the impact of this nonsense by opening most dashboard
links in the same window; for now, we're still opening in a new window
links to download files and links that might point to external websites.
We'll address those ones in the future.
- Found new solution to show dashboard proposals stats
- Added new class for behaviour change in the medium version
- Moved the progress bar to the bottom
- Moved below by adding counter-label class to the text support
- Added class to support text to push under the counter
Button that redirects to proposal in the proposals dashboard now:
* opens the proposal in a different tab.
* Text shown will be 'preview proposal' for proposals in draft state.
