🧵 I have lots of respect for the developers of Textual, so this is friendly, constructive criticism
I feel like the UX of this app could be greatly improved by incorporating some #technicalwriting practices, as well as some things I have learned working in tech for the last few years
First off, when you try to connect to a server and mess the URL up somehow, it gives no feedback on what it doesn't like about your input. So I have no idea what I need to fix
Next up, perhaps a bit out of order, I have some problems with the phrasing of the starting screen
There's no need to advertise the product once the user installed it, so the entire first sentence can be removed
"Click the button below" is too general, and there's multiple buttons down there. "Click Continue" would be much better. Perhaps I'd even change "Continue" to "Add Server" so the button describes what will happen
And last, this confirmation dialog suffers from a similar problem as the starting screen and the text validation error. "Do you want to delete the selection?" is, again, too general. It doesn't say which server will be deleted, which is confusing
I think these types of dialogs are handled pretty well in Cork (2nd pic) by including the name of the item in question in the alert
