Day 7: Design Tweaks and an attempt to add “Share with a Friend”

The night Started off with a few design tweaks:

Three changes please:

  1. please put the logo on the right side of the Title instead of the left, and also put it on every page, wherever the title currently appears. Also, the Eval Genius wording gets too opaque at the end, the gradient is too much… maybe just all-same-color now that there’s a logo decorating it?
  2. Where it says Final score, add “Lowest is Best”
  3. On the profile page, compute each user’s Average Daily Percentile , and Average Daily Score, and give those numbers a place to be seen on the profile page with the other aggregate data

then, immediately:

you know what, i was wrong, the logo looks better on the left of the logo everywhere. Please swap it from the right side of the title to the left side of the title everywhere it appears.

after that, I tried to build a share with a friend feature, but found that feature was only available in pro, so i deprioritized that feature:

I’d like you to add a “Share with a Friend” feature. It’s a button on the scoring page, where the logged in user can share today’s puzzle (and a score challenge, optionally, with a checkbox.) when they click the button, a modal should pop up, where the user can enter a friend’s email address, and check box to include their own score in the email as a challenge. then there’s a “share” button that submits the form and closes the modal after the modal swithces to a “success!” feedback for a few moments. WHen the user invites a friend, the system (admin@evalgeni.us) needs to send an email on behalf of the user that says:

“Your friend [their username] (their email address) has invited you to play EvalGeni.us, a Daily Puzzle Game that’s a fun way to get better at thinking and writing evals. [Click here to play today’s puzzle.](link to EvalGeni.us)

-Your Friends at Eval Genius”

let me know if you need an SMTP server or if you can build one for me to use.
