Please critique Brad's Twitch Tool!

Hi coders!

This is my Twitch app here : https://blbaylis.github.io/Twitch-Tool. I want to use this in my portfolio, so I tried to go the extra mile.

What do you like about it? What do you dislike about it? How could it be improved?

Any feedback is very welcome!

Edit : In hindsight, should I just have posted in the let’s discuss thread instead?

Thanks for the feedback, very helpful!

I did start out with the tabs themselves having rounded corners, but decided against right at the end so those are obvious candidates. I think the container of the streams could certainly be rounded nicely too. I don’t personally like the idea of rounding the corners of the stream thumbnails though, what are your thoughts on this?

I do have some shadowing on the page, on the search bar and around the aforementioned container of streams, but I don’t have very much experience and wouldn’t say i know how to use them well. Was it the case you didn’t notice these shadows because they weren’t prominent enough or well done enough? Or do you mean more shadows should be added on top of the already existing ones, for example on the stream thumbnails?

As for the jerky tab switching, I’m not sure why I’ve settled for that, I should definitely do something about that!

Thanks again for the feedback and also help you’ve given me for this project on the forums, it’s all much appreciated! :slight_smile:

I think a bit more colour to break things up a bit is an excellent idea! I really didn’t like the underlines either, I considered making the active tabs white, but it didn’t work with the already white background for the tabs. In hindsight though, I don’t know why I’ve trying to lock myself so strongly into just white and purple.

Thank you very much for taking the time to make a mock-up, this has given me a lot of thought for thought. I especially like the brighter shade of purple for the active tab!

Edit : I’ve made some changes based on your feedback, check it out! I haven’t resolved the jerky tab switching yet that may take a little longer.
