Some feedback from a UI/UX Designer
-
First off, props on the new torrent site. 10000% better than the old version. As a designer myself I can appreciate all the thought and little touches that have gone into this rebuild, no easy feat I can imagine! Obvs will take some getting used to but it's definitely a lot more user friendly! Especially appreciate being able to filter snatched torrents, not being able to see those easily in the old version sent me a little especially when files and torrents are not named correctly. Also being able to sort by most needed is a really nice touch for those of us who're trying to focus our ratios.
Really love the new tags, but would love the ability to copy the tag list easily? I use Stash to manage my library (highly highly recommend for those who're using a media server at current). So I'd love the option to copy the torrent's tags in a comma delineated list to easily apply to the scenes in Stash.
I also think it might be a nice idea to include a copy title shortcut button in the listings? It wasnt a big deal on the old site as it was quite easy to select a title in the old list view, but in the new grid view its quite a bit more of a hassle. I use Prowlarr as my indexer to manage torrent downloading remotely, so being able to easily copy and paste a title to search the indexer would be super handy!
I know the above is maybe a little niche to my personal workflows, but I'll add to this thread with more UI/UX thoughts and feedback as I continue to use the new site.
Again, well done GT team!

@cgnz Totally agree with all the praise stuff, obviously!
Regarding copying the title: I absolutely hated grid view when I first came here. Tried to find the best options to get everything looking exactly like it used to in the old view. Failed. Grudgingly went back to grid view... and after a couple of days grew to love it, and now really wouldn't want to go back!
For individual items, yeah it's a bit harder to copy a torrent's title than before in this view. In part, that's because there's already a lot of info contained in that relatively small space about the torrent. Adding even one more tiny icon may well be a bridge too far, making it harder to click the bit you actually want. But it's easy to just open the torrent's full description page - I have my browser set to open links in new tabs - then just copy it from there. It only adds a couple of clicks, which isn't a huge deal.

Thanks for the kind words. Copy buttons for title and tags on the grid would be handy, noted.

@cgnz Totally agree with you about Stash. I've been singing its praises on here for a while now. Fingers crossed they add support for scraping whole films soon rather than just scenes.
I struggle with some of the more complex features, so would it be ok to message you for insight sometime if I get stuck? The support on Discord always assumes a higher level of knowledge.

Sure thing! I mean I'm not the most technical person but I can try answer some questions hahaha.
@Joker wild idea and probably super out of scope... but would be kinda cool if along side tags we could also start attaching performers to torrents? Not sure how feasible it would be though, would probably add overhead introducing a new performers database layer...

@cgnz dmca agents would be eternally grateful
