After launching the new home page design a few weeks ago, I went straight to work on updating the logged-in screens, which are getting very close to ready! " "" "While not quite ready, I wanted to talk about the evolution these screens have gone through, starting as just an idea that sprang up during my thesis research and is now fully implemented and continuing to improve." "" "It started with a very rough Figma (the image on the left, with red image placeholders). At first, I just wanted to highlight the sentiment score -- the big "8.5" you see all over. I also wanted to show sentiment over time, so I drew a simple graph mock to show this. Of course, showing the player would also be essential, so a player's image was always part of the plan." "" "Looking at the second image on the right, you'll see this all implemented. While I was able to build it, I also added a lot more information that wasn't part of the original plan, lending to a more clunky than desired interface for Sentitrac. This is a classic "design by an engineer" failure mode -- where function > form to get it working, but with an acknowledgment at that point that it doesn't look as good as it should. " "" "This is where the professionals come in! In the same way we redesigned the homepage, ThreeSixtyEight worked to help refine the player projection pages. I'm excited to share more about that over the next few weeks as I wrap up development!" "" "#sentitrac #sportstech #entrepeneurship #softwareengineering #sentiment #fantasyfootball
