What is your preferred feature in the administration part of your website / product?
Hey the community,
I just added a small feature on the administration part of my project that is to manage the list of prospects, and sending cold emails to them in one click.
Basically I have a /admin part reserved only to administrators. Inside the page, I have a list of my users and another list of the prospects. I have a button to send a cold email to this prospect like: "Hey, there's some people looking to book your food truck on LocalChef".
I think this is a great feature, and it took me only 1/2 day to implement it.
I deeply believe the administration part is an essential part of your project, not necessary for the essence of it, but more for the process to think of your project from another perspective. It can add great value to your idea, and save up lots of your time :)
What other feature do you love on your administration part of your website?
Have a good weekend!
One of the new features we created at Locologic.com for the admin to login as a user. It saves lot of time when customer is on the phone asking for tech support. We can see exactly what they see and help.
Not exactly to your point, but I love building features that take not even 1/2 day, but minutes, instead. And it's usually UX improvements to reach things faster, so re-arranging buttons, showing some more info where needed, expanding the dashboard with one more metric etc.
Recently I started looking for those "quick wins", especially if I hear people repeatingly asking for something, or struggling with something, looking for patterns. Also measuring how much it's ACTUALLY being used. Of course, for that you would need a lot of customers already, which I already do with my product.
But your feature is great, too!
Nice!
Do you have one example in mind that you're proud of?
Just this week. Inside of our @QuickAdminPanel product, we had a button "Deploy to Server" which is one of the end goals for users, but only 30% of new users clicked it. We renamed it to "Preview panel" and moved higher in menu, next two days it jumped to 50% of users clicking it. That change took 10 minutes to think and 10 minutes more to implement.
