Describe the feature

Description

This feature request proposes several UI/UX enhancements to improve the overall usability, responsiveness, and user interaction within the Badge Maker tool. These improvements will create a more intuitive and polished user experience.

Proposed Improvements:

• 1. Loading Spinners or Skeleton Loaders:

  • Display loading indicators while fetching data or rendering changes to provide visual feedback to users.

• 2. Validation and Error Messages:

  • Add validation for image URLs and display user-friendly error messages when invalid URLs are provided.

• 3. Tooltips for Options:

  • Introduce tooltips that briefly explain each customization option, making the tool more accessible to new users.

• 4. Preview Mode:

  • Add a preview mode to simulate how the badge will look in different contexts (e.g., light vs. dark backgrounds, web vs. print).

• 5. Responsive Design Improvements:

  • Enhance the tool’s mobile responsiveness by improving layout flexibility, particularly addressing the current fixed width of 50vw.

• 6. Undo/Redo Functionality:

  • Implement undo and redo options to allow users to easily revert or repeat configuration changes during the design process.

Benefits:

• Enhanced User Feedback: Loading spinners and validation improve user confidence and reduce frustration.
• Improved Accessibility: Tooltips and error messages guide users effectively, even if they are unfamiliar with the tool.
• Better Customization Experience: Preview mode and undo/redo functionality empower users to experiment with designs confidently.
• Optimized Mobile Experience: Responsive design ensures the tool works seamlessly across all device sizes, especially for mobile users.

Proposed Implementation Plan:

1. Begin with responsive design improvements to ensure usability across devices.
2. Add validation and error messaging for image URLs.
3. Introduce tooltips for customization options.
4. Implement preview mode for contextual badge visualization.
5. Add loading spinners/skeleton loaders for better user feedback.
6. Finally, incorporate undo/redo functionality for seamless design iteration.
