Much more than a simple restyling: Forma 5 will bring a profound overhaul of the platform's features. Discover them today!
A major overhaul
At the Forma Experience in November and during the subsequent webinar in January we told you about the vision of the next Forma 5, starting from a new user experience. However, the project is not a simple "restyling" and it is much broader than it appears : rethinking the user experience means redesigning many features, and redesigning features means rethinking or renewing the architecture of the code itself.
For this great leap, therefore, we are working on three levels:
- CORE: Refactoring and technological updating the code and database
- FEATURES: Eliminating, Rationalizing, Improving existing features
- UX: Implementing the general UX logic designed with the design sprint
We have already talked to you about the new UX, and for the moment we will not bore you with overly technical details. Today we will tell you about the major functional changes which we will already implement in the next releases of version 4 in order to prepare the ground for the next major release.
It will be a threefold intervention:
- REMOVE: which means eliminating individual features that are obsolete, unused, and have no substantial dependencies on other features;
- IMPROVE: that is, improving existing features by extending their functionality or redesigning their UX/UI;
- REFACTOR: or redesigning and rationalizing complex and redundant functions to simplify the overall use of the system.
Here is a list of the interventions we are planning...
Are you curious? :)
1. REMOVE: Eliminating obsolete features
We are planning to remove some features that we see as unused or only sporadically used. Some of them will be compensated by improvements and refactorings of other features, while others will be implemented as plugins.
Thanks to these interventions, in the future, maintenance and development efforts will focus on those features that are actually used and can be considered as important.
2. IMPROVE: Improving existing features
Some existing features will be extended or updated to complete and improve their effectiveness and UX.
3. REFACTOR: Rationalizing redundant functionality
These functional areas will be refactored and reorganized to rationalize their use and management.
HOW ABOUT THIS PLAN? :)
