Really fascinating website. I agree with arassmussen's feedback. I'd also add that while spending the past five minutes playing around with the website, I'm consistently hitting Describe when I mean Relate. I wonder whether, if you looked at your logs, you'd find a high occurrence of Describe requests followed by Relate requests within 1-2 seconds.
Is that because of misclicking, the order of the buttons, or that it just feels like "Describe" should be the way to get the result you're looking for? (Or something else?).
I think it's the order. The primary action I want is the one that connects two columns, but it's second in the order. I click on the first button without thinking what word is on it.
I'm not saying you should switch the order, though. In some way, it makes sense that you should first Describe a column before Relating it to something else. But I think some usability testing would be useful.
I also didn't immediately understand that the different actions would 'stack up' on the right-hand pane, showing everything you've looked at so far. That's really useful, and the pop-up tips were good too, although I had to restrain my instinct to automatically close/turn them off.
It would be nice if, in the Describe summaries, you could sort/order the data. E.g., I'd like to sort the Job Title by Count, instead of alphabetic order of Job Title.
After clearing the data, I wanted to relate three different things together. It wasn't clear how to do that; the Relate button was disabled. I tried Describe, then figured out that Relate To Each (which is clearly labeled!) was the right option. I think I would have preferred not splitting the Relate button into two, Relate and Relate To Each.
It's a neat site, and I hope you continue providing demos.
Awesome. Really appreciate that feedback. Thanks a bunch.
Edit: Also, we do actually allow you to sort the descriptive by Count, alphabetical, or manually chosen. There should be a "Sort" button to the upper right of the table.
