{"ops":[{"insert":"In rough order of importance to me, with (1) being the most important:\n\n(1) Every time I change my deck and hit \"Save,\" my categories jump around, seemingly at random. Please keep the categories in some kind of consistent order. I save frequently, so this is super annoying."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(2) In \"Text\" view, I can't move my cursor straight down the list, item-by-item, because the pop-up image gets in the way of hovering over the next item. Please move the pop-up ~50 pixels to the right, so it doesn't obstruct the cursor. In one fluent motion, I want to see an item, move straight down, see the next item, move straight down, see the next item, etc. (This is why I use the \"Text\" view and not the \"Image\" view, by the way. That accordion thing is nearly unusable and I prefer a compact view anyway.)"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(3) When I search for a card using \"Add,\" I want it to be able to find it and add it, even if it's not legal yet. Use the red border to show that it's not legal, but don't prevent me from adding it. Let me decide if I use legal cards or not. My group may not play by the same rules you do."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(4) When I search in English for a card using \"Add,\" sometimes it shows up in another language and I have to manually fiddle with the \"Set\" to get the English version. Please make sure the found card is of the same \"Set\" that matched the query."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(5) When I use the \"Find in Deck\" search box, it removes empty categories. This makes it difficult to move the found item into other categories that exist. Please keep the categories visible at all times because they are targets for drag-and-drop."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(6) When I use the \"Find in Deck\" search box, it appears to match only on the entire category. In other words, it shows a lot of cards that don't match, obfuscating the few cards that did match. This means I'm stuck doing an eyeball search anyway, and defeats the entire purpose of using the search box in the first place. Please match at the card-level, and hide all cards that don't match the query."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(7) When in \"Text\" view while editing a deck, sometimes the pop-up when I hover over a card is so big that it almost completely covers the category I want to move the card into. It can be difficult to move the item when that happens. Moving the pop-up ~50 pixels to the right would solve this problem as well."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(8) The deck builder never remembers my display settings. I keep having to re-select \"Text\" view, \"sort by CMC,\" and re-checking \"show CMC as a column\" at the bottom-right. Not a big deal, since I can do that quickly enough, but it would be nice if it remembered."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(9) If I make changes to a deck and then try to press \"Copy Deck\" and then hit \"Create Deck\" without saving, it will give me a pop-up dialog warning against leaving the page while there are changes. Regardless of whether I hit \"OK\" or \"Cancel\", it then throws away all of my changes (!!!) when it makes the new deck. Please include my changes in the new copy. The entire reason I hit \"Copy Deck\" was because I didn't want to ruin the previous version of the deck by saving and wanted to put my changes in a new deck. (Alternatively, provide the standard \"Save As...\" option.)"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(10) Loading the sections in the home page (https://archidekt.com/) is unreasonably slow (10~20 seconds). The first time this happened, I thought I lost all my decks because it said \"None Available\" long after I thought a reasonable time had passed. I discovered that it is far faster (< 1 second) to click \"Your Decks (View All)\" instead of waiting for anything to load on the home page. The culprit seems to be the other two big sections. Since it is so fast to load \"Your Decks,\" consider making sure that section loads right away and isn't slowed down by the other two."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(11) That being said, it's still unreasonable for the main page to take 10~20 seconds to load. Maybe take a look at the performance of the \"Recent Decks\" and \"Recently Viewed Decks\" sections. Since \"Recent Decks\" appears to be global, you could probably employ some sort of caching there. In any case, at least display some kind of loading spinner when you do asynchronous work. Saying \"None Available\" is misleading."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nOn a positive note, these are the reasons I use your service over similar services:\n\n(12) Easy creation of custom categories."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(13) Fast drag-and-drop between categories."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n(14) Quick preview of cards."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nI wouldn't be bothering to leave you this feedback unless you had done things mostly right. Please take it as a good sign that I cared enough to tell you, and don't be discouraged by my complaints. I like what you've built so far, and I look forward to seeing it improve.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Thanks for taking the time to provide all that feedback!\n\nJust a few notes:\nWe appreciate all the text view feedback, we're planning on having an update to specifically give it some love in the future"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Are you aware that you can set specific deck view settings account wide in your \"Account Settings\"?"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I definitely see what you mean about the copy deck issue. Unfortunately it copies the deck directly from the database at the moment so it needs to be saved. We're hoping to implement deck version history in the future so hopefully the issue won't be as apparent."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"}]}
