minsu··on Minimalistic Wikipedia in “real pages”
Thanks for your feedback. Try to use arrows(they should work) and spacebar. For the sections, will try to figure out how to keep them in more logical way. Regards.
minsu··on Minimal UI for Wikipedia (Keyboard Friendly)
Still long way to go. Thanks.
minsu··on Free 47000+ books readable from web browser
What do you think about reading books from web browser? Isn't web browser the best content presenter? Thanks.

Probably I am not getting the exact point. Can you point me of any example site that implements vertical pagination? Thanks.
minsu··on Prefer Scroll or Page for Wikipedia
This service preview lacks many desired functionalities but provides paged content navigation for Wikipedia. What would be the best content navigation UI for various screen sizes and devices with/without mouse, keyboard.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

minsu··on Wikipedia in unseen UI
Thanks to all.

Good comments are good, negative comments are better. The service is in early preview so that it has huge room for improvement.

My apologies for your frustrations on several usage cases. I hope to make it better to serve you better in the next releases.

Have a great day.

The link gave me very good information. Will try to comply to the wikipedia standard in the service.

You have the points and appreciate your feedback sincerely. Thank you.

Thanks for your taking time.

- "Space": next page - very good point. I missed that. - scrollwheel for page navigation - will look into it - text selection : "scroll mode" is being implemented to properly support text - right hand side doesn't scroll(?) : will take a look. Do you mean TOC doesn't scroll in small screen devices? - ctrl-click or middle click on a link : very good point which I won't be able to think about without your feedback - search for text is broken : right. no way to support this browser functionality at this time. - edit/view history/copryright notice and more will go to the first page of an article. I failed in complying to the wikipedia standard and this got my attention. Also real link to the wikipedia will be provided.

Thank you very much!

Thanks. Handling cookie may have room for improvement. Definitely will look into that!

Very informative link. Thanks.

I see. The table thing is a bit hard to solve at this moment but may try to solve by applying a bit of responsive table stylings.

"Back Button" is also a bit tricky. ^^ As the other commenter said, it may be better to record URLS per articles instead of page unit. Will that be more natural? Thank you again.

Good point. Can two column view for a wide screen be of any value to you? Thanks.
minsu··on Wikipedia in unseen UI
Great feedbacks. Sincerely appreciate it.

I see. Will definitely try to minimize gimmicks for the sake of the eyes. Thanks for your encouragement!

Wow, wikiwand is impressive. I need to learn from this site. :) By the way, do you think pagination doesn't have any value or the current implementation of buk.io doesn't do pagination as expected?

Thanks. Minsu (Chief Engineer buk.io)

Right "infobox" is removed from the content window even for the desktop size screens for now. The mobile wikipedia also hides it for real mobile devices (please try that) but not for big screens.

The plan was to add "infobox" table to the TOC as a tab instead of fiddling the cumbersome table in small devices. (under construction)

or We can put it back to big screens content window. What do you think?

minsu··on Wikipedia in unseen UI
Very good ^^. will try to make it "visible" instead of obfuscated. Thank you for your feedback. Minsu (minsu@bbdbu.com, Chief Engineer at buk.io)

Good point. Will consider putting URL history per article instead of pages. Did you try it on Desktop with keyboards (left/right)? Though it works on mobile devices, I thought the first target is to be desktops with keyboard. Hope to hear more from you on usability. Thanks (minsu@bbdbu.com, Chief Engineer at buk.io)

Your point is very helpful. The scroll mode support is in the next update bucket list and hope that will help you copy the content properly.

For bookmarking purpose, your can just bookmark the page you're looking at and then visiting it later will bring you the same (or almost same depending on device side) page. Hope that is of any value to you.

Thanks.

Right. it is pathetic that the service doesn't hint the user what to do. Will improve it.

Thanks.

Page information on the bottom may help? Good point. Paging has its pros and cons. One feature that is not obvious is to bookmark or share the URL that has the location within the content. (Though anchor may do the similar thing).

The URL has all the location information if that is of any value. Thanks.

minsu··on Wikipedia in unseen UI
I understand that some hint of usage must be there. Anyway, please use keyboard from your desktop. left/right/pgup/pgdn.
minsu··on Wikipedia in unseen UI
Thanks for the feedbacks.

The service is in its early preview state. The "Scroll" mode will be there soon to enable users to copy & paste the content properly.

I understand that it is a bit cumbersome to use from phone side devices. Please try the service from your desktop and use keyboards "left/right/pgdn/pgup".

All your feedbacks are great and hope that I can pull the level of the service to higher and higher.

Please contact me at minsu@bbdbu.com if you need to further discuss anything.
