Off-brand cards

a nice side effect here is that we have so many questions that are just "enter paragraph here" and some unique interaction would help reduce the monotony a bit

what if it's something like this so we don't have to change the slider drastically? i'm a little concerned about adding unset states to a slider component, which feels a little non standard. …

… i don't want to make it that visually interesting if there's nothing here to see/do but you tell me if this messaging is adequate or if there's something more we can do

it's probably about deciding what's more important here, the sleek elegance or the very enticing LLM hook. i'm 50/50 because i think both are pretty valuable. … just let them discover it on their own or maybe show it once the very first time they see the page, make it disappear, and the user can rediscover it by mousing over.

we should make the first "question" or thing that the user sees in that central column be a welcome + explainer then they hit continue to see the first question if you want to tell me what to put there i can make it look right

do you agree that this number is worthy of being a focal point? i think of it more as a number that should be available but not a first class citizen

… i'm trying to imagine a screen popping up every 10 questions (or however many), animations firing and me not getting annoyed by it. i'd much rather be in control of when i see the leaderboard. maybe the "details" button changes to something like "Recalculating" with a subtle animation

… generally speaking if you want to change UI copy to be different than the mocks it will almost always have an effect on the design. at least consider that before changing it, ideally ping me about it. this doesn't really apply to non UI copy like paragraphs and blurbs but almost always affects things like labels and header text.

there's a simple version with the long form content and a slightly more custom version with the shorter copy broken into a list. i think either can work but generally think lists are easier to digest and less intimidating to read.

i might swap out the background image depending on gender. i'd like to see an attractive woman as a man seeking a partner and vise versa

the background image works better in terms of contrast. i'm not sure a huge zoomed in image of a flower vase is right though. it feels a little claustrophobic and busy to me. you tell me though, if you like it, i don't feel that strongly about it. i just think something more expansive and less busy would be better

i would reintroduce the intro cards, i think we used to have them. as far as labeling the question preference or trait, if they're already not reading the header, i'm not sure additional labeling would solve that. if you mean the labels of the inputs, that's probably a better place to provide further clarity. instead a generic label like "height" maybe make it "Heights you prefer"

ok. i will say that fitting it all on mobile is pretty arbitrary. it's always gonna fit on some screens but not on others. i wouldn't sweat the anecdotal fold, ever really.

i could do something more elaborate but i think this type of thing might be well suited for the alerts we already use

maybe that's true but i'm not sure it's worth hindering their progress for. so after they see the pop up fact they have to continue again?

… the frescoes are just random pulls, if we keep frescoes, we should probably generate some that are more contextual in some cases.

slider dropdown button segmented control has no hover effects defined but all i would do is change the inactive text color (text/placeholder) to text/primary on hover

for further context our brand fonts do not have a very heavy weight, what's there is the boldest it gets

A simple, quick crossfade is ideal for us I think. I wouldn't animate ones that display in small thumbnail-like sizes but anything that's relatively prominent, we should give them subtle animations that loop seamlessly. I wouldn't lean too heavily into animation on functional screens so I don't advise too much more here.
