Web Portal UX Feedback

[kumori_kuma]

Hey there, my team has been using Plastic with the Unity web portal for a bit and I’d like to provide the feedback I’ve collected from them:

• Plastic Code Review UI side panel is too small to see the names of files sometimes. It would be great if this side panel could be resized.
  
• The amount of wasted space on the code review page is annoying. The leftmost bar should be hidden by default when reviewing code. There shouldn’t be a maxwidth on the right side:
  
  
  
  For example, by tweaking the CSS, this is much more usable:
  
  
• The description on the code review page should just be expanded by default. It shows way too little information and there’s really no need for it to be collapsed like that.
  
  
• There should be an option in the Code Reviews tab to just hide merged code reviews, that should be the default.

These issues are such easy front-end fixes, some of which can be solved with some simple JS or CSS styling. For our use cases, since this was bothering our engineers, I decided to write a Chrome extension that modifies the frontend code. But yeah, it would be nice if we didn’t need to do that.

Hi,

We appreciate the feedback and suggestions.

The product team is already tracking some of the requests you made during the meeting you had a few weeks ago so now they are assessing and prioritizing them properly.

Please use the following link to send the request/feedback so the product team can triage y prioritize it
https://portal.productboard.com/m8i3g2dqrmywvbqnkdmzeauv/c/819-didn-t-find-what-you-were-looking-for?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_share.

Once it is done, the product team will review it, and then plan for them. If they become more and more popular, the chances it getting done will be higher. You will be notified if your request is released or if more information is necessary.

By the way, some of your requests were already added to the “under consideration” section of the public roadmap.

I know you are scheduling a meeting soon with us. It will be important to prioritize your requests so we can start focusing on the most relevant for you.

Best regards.
