Two UI Breakdowns of the week
This week's chosen workflows are from screenshots/photos:
- Copy pasting a text from photos
- Opening a link via screenshot
Breakdown #1
Information is shared via slack quite regurarly. From time to time, we might need to just access the information quickly via the screenshot.
See a quick audit below of a screenshot via slack photos ‡
Breakdown #2
Consider being able to click on links from a screenshot rather than from the text. This is now possible using screen recognition, but with some limitations.
See a quick audit below ‡
