I’m sorry I make so many reference to Wordpress, it has own flaws. But once more example is their mobile app. (Which connects to self-hosted servers only through their proprietary system, meh.)
It’s a pleasure to put in it everything you got on a moment: some thoughts, file, photos, tags. It’s immediately saved locally (and even could be edited!) to be posted when you get a connection.
Main advantages are 1) in a hurry you don’t depend on loading of interface at all - just concentrate on the content, 2) you’re sure that all your stuff is properly saved and you just need to control it was uploaded to the server, 3) click share with in context menu and start the post you need.
Yes, it’s also well suited for phone screens: no small elements and crazy scrolling around for basic actions. But it’s only a part of the problem. Main pains are these three points: 1) capturing information without interruptions of interaction for loading, 2) local retention to be sure that nothing will be lost, 3) basic system integration.
Could you elaborate a bit more?
I’m not a big UX-expert. I would note two things from my perspective.
- Overall sections lay-out on editing lacks of visual clearness. It’s more like a mixed salad, and I do some cognitive exercise each time: recognize what would this section be on desktop and where it’s belong, decide does it need your attention, find elements that you would use in desktop workflow.
Somehow it doesn’t give an impression of a finished system to use. Without prior experience with desktop layout I think I would hesitate to use it.
- Editor is narrow and post looks like a field in a number of different page attributes. It would a bless if design would concentrate around the information I put there; both in terms of screen place and tools. And this is a huge struggle. I think story with Gutenberg editor isn’t complete yet, to finish with WP references.
P.s. Looks like the best solution I see for now is to draft my things in email, and then manually transfer to Xwiki.
