First, the homepage problem
Disadvantages: 1: The "Latest Trends" on the home page shows "the trends of concerned people" and "the trends from concerned topics" in a disorderly way.
Explanation 1: I may not be interested in their concerns. What I want to see on the home page is the dynamics of my concerns and topics.
Solution 1: It should appear in the order of topic trends I care about and user trends I care about, and there should be a "Show More" button at the end of each category.
Solution 2: On the right side of the word "latest news" on the homepage, there can be four buttons: pay attention to people news, topics, issues and collections. And "Focus on Topic Dynamics" is displayed by default.
Disadvantage 2: the color picture in the upper right corner, the picture of the user's head in the time axis and the picture in the user's answer interfere with the user's reading experience, so it is difficult for the user to immerse himself in reading.
Disadvantage 3. The "Questions Invited to Answer" in the upper right corner of the homepage should be changed to "Answering Questions". Because "the question I was invited to answer" includes three columns: Recommended for you, Popular in the whole station and Invited to answer.
Suggested additional features
1. User-customized homepage-added the function of "filtering the title keywords of homepage problems"
Effect to be achieved: If "Dānlín" is added as "blocked title keyword", all questions with "Dānlín" in the title will not appear on the homepage of Zhihu, and so will the article. (No matter whether the person concerned answers or praises the questions and answers and articles with "Dānlín" in the title. )。
Reason: Zhihu's "topic shielding" is not fully functional now. For example, if the topic of "Dānlín" is blocked, but the people concerned agree with the question and answer under the topic of "Dānlín", the results will be displayed on the home page.
Reason 2: I want to block questions and answers and articles related to a hot event, but I find that there is no corresponding topic to block, or a block blocks all the topics I care about.
Two. Problem page
Disadvantages 1. When the user clicks a topic with the mouse, he can't add a topic, but only by pressing the up and down keys and adding the Enter key.
Suggested improvement 1: Add a new area on the right side of the question interface, displaying four or five concise "Zhihu Question Norms" with a link of "How to Ask Questions in Zhihu".
Reason: This can reduce the number of garbage problems.
Three. Message reminder
Suggestion 1: You can set the starting number of message reminders.
If it is set to 10, new messages will be reminded when they arrive at 10, instead of a message with "1" in the message button and "(1 messages)" in the tab header, which is annoying.
Four. Specific question page
Disadvantage 1: The long answer is too long. When you are not interested in a long answer, you need to turn over several pages to see the next answer, which is very annoying.
Solution: Only 5 lines are displayed for each answer, and then there is a "Show All" link if there is any unfinished text.
Disadvantage 2: It is not convenient to look at the main comments in the comment area, and you should look for them one by one among many comments.
Suggestion: In the comment area, there is an option similar to Baidu Post Bar "just look at the answer".
