Quick and Dirty Usability Testing

This methods is used to quickly gathered feedback from regarding to the design and usability of the application.

Observations

• After user finish editing a document, they will want to back to the document they want to edit. However, instead of pressing back button on the browser, they press the Logo instead. Which will bring them back to the root folder instead of the previously accessed folder.
• User seems to not really understand the mechanism for switching view mode
  • User clicked on editor mode,
  • He then clicked on the editor mode again (but it does nothing because it is already in editor mode)
  • He then click the editor and viewer mode.

  • Most users claimed that they expected it to be a toggle buttons

• A user wanted to rename a file. He firstly tried to right click on the document,
  however it give the default browser context menu instead.
  • His then move his cursor toward the user input button area.

Feedbacks

• I will actually use it as long as it provide a way for me to format my document in ACM format

• Would like to see plugin support for this application. I felt that markdown it quite limited unlike latex, where we can just import any library we need.

• Similar to Emacs's org mode. Where it can prepare different formatting for a document. It is good to see that it is being done with markdown, since markdown is more popular than Emacs

• The PDF conversion is very nice, I wish to be able to convert multiple document from md to pdf in batch
