Hi!
I donāt think this is too common of a problem, but I tend to draft patterns in my Ribblr shop space because I love all the options you have when you create one.
This has created a bit of a problem for me since I jump between different patterns; both that they move around (the most recently changed pattern gets in the first place of the list, instead of staying where it was, so that can make it hard to find) and that they are listed beside and below published patterns.
I guess Iām fat-fingered, because itās happened more than once that Iāve accidentally pressed a published patternās live setting (or maybe because Iām left-handed and operate from the left side of the phone screen). Iām very glad that you have to confirm unpublishing a pattern. And the thing with the drafts moving around makes it hard to change things in multiple patterns, because you need to find the next one in the chain, and nothing stays in the same place (I hope that makes sense).
Hereās a personal example. I write repeats like this: 6 [1 sc, inc] (28), and write out the explanation at the top of the pattern, but sometimes I forget and need to add them to my new drafts - that is a repeat instance where static placement would be really useful. Or an ability to reorder them (and have them static).
Now, after that rant; would it be possible to get a tab in the shop interface where your drafts are automatically stored? And maybe make their places in that tab static (that would be extra, but Iād be extra happy), or maybe even three tabs in the future; live patterns, patterns in testing, and drafts? I know three tabs might be asking for the moon because as I said, itās probably not a common problem, but since Iām creating a post for it, why not
Also; if thereās a solution to this, Iād love to know about it: usually when I work on a wip that isnāt live yet, I get notifications on my phone asking me to finish it or share it with others (canāt remember exactly what they say because I swipe them away immediately, but something to that effect), and itās kind of annoying and slightly stressful I donāt know if itās a bug or just not thought of, but it feels like these notifications kinda belong to āliveā patterns only
Wow, lengthy post! I hope I didnāt ramble on too much and that I made myself understood
Thanks for reading, and thank you all for your amazing work! Youāve really done incredibly well insanely quickly implementing improvements to the whole site. Kudos!
