First of all, thank you for this awesome and very practical tool! It perfectly answers a real need.
As a user, I’d love to suggest a few UI/UX improvements to make the interface even more intuitive and fluid, especially for newcomers. Over time, it's easy to get used to the layout, but a fresh perspective highlights a few minor "friction points" regarding how features are grouped.
Here is a summary of the suggestions:
-
Global Drag & Drop for Files
Current state: Drag and drop is available but requires clicking a specific button first.
Suggestion: Make the entire screen (or a large main area) a drop zone. Dropping any file or image anywhere should instantly trigger the upload.
-
Isolate and Highlight the "Notepad" feature
Current state: "Notepad" sits right next to "Link" and "New", even though it behaves like an independent utility.
Suggestion: Move the Notepad button away from the main actions. Placing it in the top-right or top-left corner with its notebook icon would make it much more visible, intuitive, and properly valued as the great independent tool it is.
-
Reorganize Buttons by "Content Type" (Text vs. Files)
Currently, there is a slight disconnect between the top buttons and the bottom storage categories (Snippets, Files, Links).
Files: A dedicated "Manual Upload" button could sit at the top (perhaps next to the Notepad icon) for traditional file sharing, complementing the global Drag & Drop.
Text / Links* Philosophically, URLs and Snippets are closer to each other than to files. It would be much clearer to group them. We could have a unified or dedicated text/URL submission flow, separating it completely from file uploading (which currently shares the same button as snippets, causing some confusion).
Summary of the vision:
A global drop zone for instant file sharing.
A dedicated corner button** for the Notepad utility.
A clear separation between Text/Link inputs and File uploads.
Thank you for considering these adjustments to make local-content-share even more seamless to use :)
