PREFACE
Hello my dear ximbos,
I have decided to create this thread because I have many ideas on improving the quality of this website and I believe I am not the only one. I am an avid gamer with a university degree in computer science so I am passionate about this topic.
RULES FOR POSTING
This is a place for purely constructive criticism, realistic expectations and most importantly quality of life changes only.

What constitutes a quality of life change?

A change to the website that improves Ease of Use - making a feature more intuitive, straight forward, reducing the number of clicks needed

A change to the website that improves Transparency - allowing the user to see the impact of their action when interacting with the site, having features well explained

A change to the website that improves Convenience - giving the user more options for interaction, reducing time wasted

NOT Aesthetics - while aesthetics (i.e. text fonts, pictures, colours etc.) are generally a part of the user experience and can improve the quality of life, this topic is more deserving of its own thread and would only dilute mechanics oriented discussion. It is also somewhat a matter of personal preference and I would like to keep this as objective as possible. (sorry, dark mode)

NOT Content - new items for shops or additional features that add to the core nature of interactions with the website (f.e. adding a pets/cars feature), this is not improving the current website features and deserves its own thread

What are realistic expectations?
While it would be nice to improve some of the old features by fundamentally changing their function it is not realistically within the scope of a small team. If you think of a feature that Instagram, Google or Youtube (f.e. the ability to upload videos, automatic image censorship) has but not your local makeup e-shop it is probably a feature outside of the scope of this website.

How to post constructive criticism?
1) Define the problem - what is the problem, where on the website is it, how does it impede quality of life
2) Propose a solution - how to change the website to rid it  of the problem, what would the implementation look like for the user, (if you know) what could the back-end look like, is there an implemented feature that could be utilized, where have you seen a similar feature for inspiration
3) What are the benefits - how does the change benefit the user, community, administration, is it in line with core values of Ximboland
4) Check your editing - try to fix grammar, make paragraph breaks, utilize bold font, CAPITALS or italics

This is NOT a place for DISCUSSION, please keep the posts to constructive proposals only and DISCUSS ON Xitter.
Don't forget to like the changes you would like to see!



PROPOSITION: Adding remaining interactions counter
The user has no way of knowing the number of remaining interactions.

The website clearly stores data on the amount of interactions for any give user within the last something hours. It is quite simple to display the data to the user. The counter would be located next to the avatar, right above the change breast size button, this way it is easily visible.

The biggest benefit is Transparency for the user, it could also be utilized for further improving the interactions feature.

PROPOSITION: Update Ximbopedia
This change is sorely needed as there are quite a few topics with incomplete information (f.e. fitness page is missing the link to the new arcade games, no mention of obligations of a State Minister, Which artifacts can be activated multiple times?, How much reputation do different actions yield?) or missing completely (How are transgressions against site rule resolved?, What does Minister of Foreign affairs do?, How does Xitter work?). There is also an abundance of outdated spelling (f.e. "My Bimbo Profile" instead of "Ximbo") 

Updating the Wiki could be quite some work at this point due huge backlog of missing things, but there are no technical limitations at all.

The biggest benefit is improving Transparency for (especially new) users, it removes a barrier to entry and confusion, it should be beneficial to user retention. Bad wiki generally reflects poorly on public perception of the site and its (lack of) professionalism, it should not be underestimated.


PROPOSITION: Add "Help" buttons
This is a site wide problem, many features are missing a button that would redirect the user to the relevant information about the feature. User is generally expected to either find Wiki (which is not at all obvious given its hidden position at the bottom of the page) or look in the Forums which is time consuming.

This feature is highly dependent on a complete and useful Wiki, so its implementation would have to come second. Technically there are pretty much no limitations in this regard, it is a standard feature on many websites/games.

The biggest benefits are to Transparency and Ease of Use for the user, which could improve new user retention. It is also a standard feature of complex websites, not having it reflects poorly on the sites professionalism.
