I just came to say hello!
Hi, habrasoobschestvo!
We are developing an API for My World, and every day we think about what other functions our developers lack. One of our latest features is the ability to send private messages to the JS API. On the birth of the design of this dialogue, we shot a whole movie.
')
And then the background to the creation of this method (see the description of the method here: api.mail.ru/docs/reference/js/messages-send ).
Especially popular on our platform are games with elements of dating, where you can wink at a pretty girl or write her a compliment. And you can just get acquainted with a partner while playing poker.
The simplest and most obvious function that we lacked was sending a personal message to another player. Indeed, after all, social applications are another form of communication. Why not help the developers and provide them with such a powerful tool as personal messages?
We started the hard work. We argued for a long time about the design of the new dialogue - we wanted it to reflect the communication process, and the interface designers insisted on functionality.
As a result, simplicity won :-)
We, with tears in our eyes, abandoned the eclectic graphics and made a simple dialogue, the main function of which is to write a message and nothing more.
Share your experience, and how do you find a compromise between design and functionality? Which side of power wins more often in your projects?
