Getting all our functionality working is obviously the major concern right now, but we should budget some time at the end to really polish our UI (it already looks extremely minimalist and intuitive but we can stretch this even further with all the front-end expertise floating around!).
So a few thoughts to start us of:
1.) How are we going to cue the user that the sections are collapsible on click (also they only expand/close right now on clicking the subject name which could potentially be confusing)? I was thinking maybe a small downward arrow appearing on hover.
2.) Why are we showing the 'add button' (+ sign) outside of hover? If people want to add a note they'll always end up activating the hover so (of course the issue of leaving appropriate clues for the user comes in here too!). This way our design language becomes slight more consistent and we set an expectation of keeping everything hidden until needed!
3.) Is it possible to rename a subject? This might be tricky for the back-end...
4.) Custom 404/403 handler (especially for / ; most TAs are used to finding home pages there or at 'home').
5.) Do you think a lucid enough icon can replace 'Review' (of course if there isn't one we can leave it as is; having only icons would be nice though).
