Improving the README and Local Development

Oct 13, 2025 by wbrum.org 132 views

As we continue to develop and refine our app, it's essential to gather feedback from users and address their concerns to create a seamless and intuitive experience. In this article, we'll discuss the key feedback points and provide actionable suggestions to enhance the app's usability and user experience.

Improving the README and Local Development

One of the primary concerns raised by users is the lack of clear instructions on how to clone and run the app locally. This can be a significant barrier for users who prefer to view the app locally instead of relying on the internet. To address this issue, we recommend adding a section in the README that provides step-by-step instructions on how to clone the repository, navigate to the folder, and run the app using Python.

Adding Axis Labels for Clarity

Another feedback point is the need for more intuitive axis labels in the density plot. Specifically, the x-axis represents the balance, but it's unclear whether it's in dollars, CAD, or USD. To resolve this issue, we suggest adding a label to the axis title to indicate the currency used. This will help users quickly understand the data and make more informed decisions.

Enhancing the User Experience with Downloadable Data

One of the users praised the app's ease of use and intuitive design, but suggested adding a download button for the filtered results. This feature would enable managers to pull the filtered data frame and use it for future marketing purposes. We agree that this feature would be highly beneficial and recommend implementing it in the next iteration.

Simplifying Axis Titles

The Campaign Contact and Subscription Status and Distribution of Personal Loan by Subscription Status axes both have axis titles with a "?". Since these axes represent binary outcomes (yes or no), we suggest removing the "?" to make the titles more concise and intuitive.

Adding a "Reset Filters" Button

Finally, one of the users suggested adding a "Reset Filters" button to further improve the dashboard's usability. This feature would enable users to quickly reset the filters and start fresh, making the app more user-friendly and efficient.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the feedback provided by users has been invaluable in helping us identify areas for improvement and enhance the user experience of our app. By addressing these concerns and implementing the suggested features, we can create a more intuitive, user-friendly, and efficient app that meets the needs of our target audience.

Recommendations for Future Development

Based on the feedback and suggestions provided, we recommend the following for future development:

Add a section in the README for cloning and running the app locally
Add axis labels to the density plot to indicate the currency used
Implement a download button for the filtered results
Simplify axis titles by removing the "?" for binary outcomes
Add a "Reset Filters" button to improve usability

By implementing these features and addressing the concerns raised by users, we can create a more robust, user-friendly, and efficient app that meets the needs of our target audience.

Future Directions

As we continue to develop and refine our app, we'll keep the feedback and suggestions provided in mind. We'll work to create a more intuitive, user-friendly, and efficient app that meets the needs of our target audience. We'll also continue to gather feedback and suggestions from users to ensure that our app remains relevant and effective.

Timeline for Implementation

We anticipate implementing the recommended features and addressing the concerns raised by users within the next 6-8 weeks. We'll provide regular updates on our progress and ensure that the app remains stable and efficient throughout the development process.
