Yay! 😸

Yes, not the whole list feature. Just the "Add to list" button in the new sentence design.

But at the same time, I wouldn't want to give the impression that you must click on that button to save your selection of lists. The sentences are already being added as soon as you check the checkbox.

We can increase to 5 items. I'm not sure how many items would be enough for you?

> I don't know if the displayed lists are in any specific order right now

Currently it's ordered this way:

- If you have selected a list before, then the first item will always be the last list that you selected.
- Otherwise, the lists are divided in two categories: your lists, other collaborative lists. Your lists are displayed first.
- Within each category, the lists are ordered by "modified" date (last modified first).

Indeed.

It's actually almost the case. The initial items displayed are only your own lists, with the exception that the very first item can be any list that you have selected last.

To explain how it ended up this way, I first decided to keep the same order as in the old design:
- the current user's lists first (ordered alphabetically)
- then all the collaborative lists (ordered alphabetically)

However, displaying hundreds of item in a md-list leads to pretty poor performances. The sentence component would take too long to render. So my first thought was to display only the current user's lists and have the collaborative lists only appear upon search. But some users could have hundreds of lists, so that won't help. Hence the idea of displaying only the current user's lists, but limited to an arbitrary amount (I chose 10).

So when you open the list form for the first time, you will only see your own lists with a maximum of 10 lists. I decided to order the lists by `modified` date under the assumption that you'll more likely want to add a sentence in a list which has been more recently modified.

That's why the subheader text is "Your most recent lists". But it's true that "recent" is quite ambiguous. A more accurate subheader text could be "Your last selected list (if any) and last updated lists", but it sounds a bit awkward...

Aside of that, I'm not fully satisfied of this solution either and I did consider displaying the 10 last selected lists ordered by last selected first, as you suggested, but I chose to leave this for another iteration together with the next point:

> It looks like when the sentence already belongs to a list, the list doesn’t
> show up. I didn’t expect that because you are using the checkbox pattern.

Yes, when a sentence already belongs to a list, it won't show up, except if you have just added the sentence to the list and haven't refreshed the page yet.

I agree it's confusing. For me, I have to say it's not really the checkbox pattern that causes the confusion. I've had this issue already in the old design.

If I have a list "test" and I open a dropdown on a sentence and don't see "test" in there, I don't instinctively think "Right, I already added my sentence to that list". I instead scan a couple of times through the items in the dropdown to make sure I didn't miss it, then I sometimes even end up thinking "did my list get deleted?" or doubting that I ever had such a list. Then only, I remember that "test" isn't displayed because the sentence has already been added to that list.

The target design should definitely be that all available lists are displayed and the checkbox is checked if the list already contains the sentence.

> It looks like you’re using bold to indicate "you’re the owner".

I couldn't think of a good way so I went for the bold text since we have a similar pattern with the language selector (languages in bold are the ones in your profile).

It's true that it's not really necessary. I made the text bold when the implementation had all lists displayed (instead of just 10 lists) so at that point it made more sense.

The only case would be if someone else made a collaborative list that has the exact same name as one of your lists. Then you would need some ways to distinguish the your list from the other list. But this case is better solved if we add somewhere the name of the creator of the list.

"Create and add" or "Add to new list" were two possibilities I thought about. But in the end I felt it was easy enough to understand that "Create" implicitly means "Create list and add sentence to that list". The context in which the list is created leads you anyway to expect that the sentence will be added to that list. And if your intention was only to create the list but not add the sentence, then you can easily remove the sentence by unchecking the checkbox.

Will do. I didn't feel any lag in my tests but it doesn't cost much to add a loader.

> I guess the "(last selected)" label is a remain of the old design?

Yes, the "last selected" list is meant to replace the behavior in the old design where the last selected list can be preselected in the dropdown the next time you load a page with a sentence. This is not the default behavior though, it's an option you have to enable in your Settings ("Remember the last list...").

This feature saves you time when you are in the process of filling up a specific list and are browsing/searching sentences for it.

Again, the final behavior should be that you have by default your last selected lists displayed (instead of your last updated lists), but that would be for another iteration.

You have to go to a page where the new design is implemented, for example a search results page. From there, the "add to list" button is the thing to be tested.

you're welcome :-)

Don't mention it :-)

Addendum:

I asked a Mainland Chinese friend about this, who in turn asked a few Taiwanese and one Hong Konger. The Taiwanese mostly thought that 什麽 is more common because it's easier to write and 甚麽 is only common in formal context. Some also thought that 甚么 is acceptable, even if rare. The Hong Konger on the other hand thought that using 什麽 was a sign of machine-translated text and that most people would write 甚麽, except out of laziness when handwriting.

Hi, similar to sentencedict, I also use http://www.use-in-a-sentence.com , which is very useful to find sentences used in context. Also, in the site there are some exercises to improve academic English Vocabulary...

And I've never understood why people were copy-pasting like that.

However, I still have this behavior. I'm using Firefox. See
