This week was all about fixing issues we discovered during user testing and smoothing out parts of the application that were confusing or frustrating for users. A lot of the feedback pointed to small interaction problems.
One of the bigger updates was adding a bulk “Mark as Reviewed” option when users are in multi-select mode. This makes it much easier to clear multiple review-needed cards at once instead of handling them one by one. I also removed on-hover buttons from job cards while in multi-select, so cards no longer expand when users are just trying to select them.
To make review-needed cards easier to spot, I changed the review text to always be visible instead of only appearing on hover. During testing, users struggled to identify which cards needed review, so this makes that information much clearer at a glance.
I also added an Archive button directly to each card. Before, archiving was only possible through multi-select, which was not very easy to find. Now users can archive individual cards more easily without switching modes.
Another important fix was disabling card movement while in multi-select. Users were accidentally dragging cards when selecting too quickly, which canceled their entire selection. Locking movement in this state makes the feature much more stable.
Lastly, I added a salary field to the edit job card modal so users can record that detail for each card. We plan to add a filter by salary option as well.
Overall, these changes were about making JAICE feel more intuitive and less frustrating, especially for first-time users.
