User Feedback on API Capstone v1
Do my users think the app is interesting or valuable? - would be better if recipes and restaurants were rendered to screen, but yummly API doesn't allow that and ran out of time to implement restaurants/map
Did my users use the app as I intended? -users don't realize the randomization is on pupose - make more clear!
Did my users encounter any bugs or broken features? - button needs better visibility when in mobile screen
Did my users understand how to use the app? - Need to use better descriptor to show purpose of app
Slack user 1: "I'm taking a look at your site and it seems pretty straightforward to me. The icons you have are kind of fun and cartoony. I don't know how easy or not it is to do, but as a user I would prefer to have the recipe displayed on screen and not to need to go to another site. Same for the local restaurant finder.
I do like that if I click on different recipes that the same tab refreshes with new information rather that always opening up a new tab. I also like that the restaurant finder finds the same kind of food displayed on the screen.
The picture would look a bit nicer if it were bigger like on yummly.
Overall, everything that I can tell you offer on your site works. Seems like a fun app. Would be good for the nights my wife and I don't know what to make for dinner."
Slack user 2: "It might be neat if you had a drop down to choose a type of cuisine.
Also, I realize the title is there but it didnt quite make sense to me what click me would give me, might help to add a visible label maybe?"

Slack User 4: "At first it bothered me that I can't choose the cuisine I want, but once I read Aaron's idea about it being good when you cannot decide what to eat, then I thought it was a great app for such cases. I think you should promote it as such somewhere towards the top of the app. I also agree that the picture should be displayed larger. Overall, looks good to me"
Margaret: "I also think it looks good! The buttons looked fine on my laptop, and there's a nice variety of cuisine. Everything worked, except the Yummly and Yelp links are broken. Alex noticed that in those href tags, there's only a single slash after the https: and he thinks that could be why. "
Alex: "Looks good, worked great! On a phone, the buttons appear with black text on a black background."
