Glue Labs: New Glue Bar & Tips
As you enjoy Glue, we’re working hard to make it even better. Don’t get jealous, but we’re already testing the new version! I thought I would share a sneak peak at the new bar!
The bar is much smaller (60% of the previous size). There is my new favorite feature - the big thumbs down. The Yellow and Blue outlines are gone, and have been replaced with clear thumbs-up and comment icons. It’s now easy to see how many people and friends like the item - this was an often requested feature.
On the right-hand side of the new Glue bar (not visible in the image) are items that are similar to what you’re looking at and an easy way to see suggestions. This is still a work in progress and our designer Jason has already changed a few details.
The tooltips currently live on GetGlue will be included in the new Glue bar. How cool is that? The tooltips automatically bring relevant info to you. If you’re on Netflix or Wikipedia you’ll able to see the movie’s trailer. You can also read reviews, buy it, see images, and so on.
Update: Here’s a screenshot that shows the new search functionality. Enter the name of an item and easily access the object’s page on Glue - showing you friend reviews, links to the best on the web, and similar items for the object.
We are hoping to release the new Glue very soon, but if you can’t wait, and are interested in beta testing, just leave your Glue username below!
A few lucky Glue-rs will be able to see it first.
