[WikimediaMobile] Fwd: Navigation UI detailed wireframes

This was meant for the list but I only sent for Brion so resending! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jon Robson &lt;jrobson(a)wikimedia.org&gt; Date: Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 8:48 PM Subject: Re: [WikimediaMobile] Navigation UI detailed wireframes To: Brion Vibber &lt;bvibber(a)wikimedia.org&gt; I had a Skype with Phil and it got my brain into gear so I have several thoughts and ideas around these mockups.... Personally I think that we should always show the same initial menu on a load. If my mum downloads the app I want her apps behaviour to be consistent with mine so I can explain to her confidently how she uses it. I believe we are missing an opportunity to allow sliding to the left or sliding to the right. In the current design I must swipe twice left to get from search to nearby. I believe search to be the most useful function so this seems wrong... it should be in the centre. When I load the app I should be one slide away from all functions I might possibly need. I think each of the 3 menus should show arrows to be consistent and clear < and > in the centre menu and < in the right menu We should show the site logo in the centre of the search bar or just above/just under it. I think search should be hidden by default. When I load an article I expect the page to scroll down to the start of the article. I can scroll up if I want the main menu but the emphasis should be on content. I believe that the menu containing nearby should be restricted to generic Wikipedia functions that are not needed but useful. E.g. nearby,random etc... I think anything page specific should reside in the page itself and be separate to the navigation bar e.g. to the right of the article heading. A pin might be a good way of invoking it or an arrow pointing right to slide to the right. That's all for now! Apologies for the brain dump!
