Hey all! I’m sure all of you have used the new publish feature now that it’s been out for several days. When we were designing it we had a tough time deciding what’s the best UX for the URL’s in the publish dropdown and would love your input.
What would you prefer:
Clicking on the url will always activate the checkbox either on or off.
Clicking on the url will always open it in a new tab.
I don’t know what to click… I’m used to click the little arrow to get to the site already, but what I wish was the published-button-turned-green to become a visit button. It’s where I still try to click on.
You kind of made it like that already… when you think about it, it’s a pretty neutral button that you click and that turns… green! Logically, it should have a waiting state and host the processing msg/animation. And get the focus when turning green so Enter can launch the new tab. I don’t know how it’s possible but that would be great if instead of opening a new tab each time, it was refreshing the first opened one. (I think I remember some software doing this…)
