I can't see the music and podcast menu in your mockup : https://design.funkwhale.audio/#/view/e3a187f0-0f5e-11ed-adb9-fff9e854a67c?page-id=6ca536f0-0f5f-11ed-adb9-fff9e854a67c§ion=interactions&index=1&share-id=eca59bf0-3832-11ed-86ac-c19cdb5a453b
I suppose :
- Explore is for all content type discovery*
- music is for music content discovery*
- podcast for podast discovery*
*Discovery as a mix of know and unknown content, base on federation activity and algorithm recommendation ? (except for podcast maybe where we could exclude podcast a user already listened to ? )
Podcast will appears twice :
- "podcast" menu as a exploration of all podcast available (with recommendations)
- Sub-menu "Recently updated podcast" : to listen to the podcast I subcribed, to be updated of new episodes.
Indeed artist would appears twice :
- one submenu "artist" under "my library" : the artist I uploaded, to listen to my content.
- one submenu "Artists channels" : the artists channels I subscribed to, to get update of new things.
-> I don't think its confusing, but if this feature is present in the music section it might be useless to put it here to.
I think I we could include in the artist channels, artist song published on public library, but its another issue.
mjourdan On another note, progressive disclosure seems more indicated for what we want to achieve with this section, ie keeping people aware of new releases.
I agree and I don't hard-fully want the too sub-menues I speak about. But I'm convinced we shouldn't mix channel of different content types in the lefts panels. So at least have some visual information to create a distinction , a discrete line for example or whatever
