Design

/design channel I would genuinely appreciate your feedback on the UX at basecolors.com

I have never formally done anything in design -- no schooling, work, or explicit/intentional learning of any kind, but I do have some self-developed design principles and a strong sense for what I like. Lmk what you think.

I'm typing as I observe the website so sorry if I didn't organize the thoughts:

I think there could be different layouts for desktop & mobile.
On mobile, one below the other looks good but as of desktop there's too much white and they should be side by side.

I would suffer to enter this page @ night too, because there's no dark mode and the background is true white rather than a beige or light grey.

I think you could have header + footer, bringing open sea, warpcast, x and the website logo smaller and together. So all important info would be concentrated.

I would also put connect wallet in the header.

I think the slider is too small and the color viewer is too big! If it was my website i'd put the wheel option as well.

I would display the hex smaller.

Two product suggestions:  it would be nice if people could mint their colors with something written on it?

Sorry for the ugly paint sketch

Also, as a thank you for the feedback, minted and named this color for you. The color is from the purple in your mockup. If you lmk your eth address, I will send it over. Thanks again

All good feedback. Thank you for taking the time to write it up. A few of these things I agree would be good but am intentionally not prioritizing (web view, dark mode, etc.). Others I am either roughly indifferent or against (not going to put anything on top of the color in any case). Either way, appreciate all of it

Appreciate the feedback!

Rationale for the way things are: everything is small on mobile by default. The color picker contains millions of colors. To maximize user ability to select as easily and specifically as possible, the size of the color picker must be maximized (so with a small margin on the sides, it is).

I agree the swatch (or “preview”) could be a lot smaller, and that that could potentially be better. If I were to decrease it from full width, I would make it so the full square (including bottom edge) is visible when user is at the top of the screen on mobile. I think that would look clean, but I would need to make optimal use of the space that would be left on one or both sides of it depending on whether it is centered or right or left aligned. I will likely keep it for now as I don’t think it moves the needle on anything and I’m not sure yet how best I would use that space without forcing something.

In regards to empty space, I don’t feel like there is much of any, can you clarify?

Besides aesthetics, there are 2 big things to address

- picker and swatch don't need to be so big (swatch can be much smaller)
- there's a lot of empty space on the page: I would use it to display the latest / highest FP colours bought
