Hi
#designer! I'm building a free/open-source client-side search framework, which I'm currently using for language search/translation for Taiwanese Hokkien and Hakka (and hopefully soon, the indigenous languages and many others!). I really love the speed/simplicity of what I have built so far, and I use it constantly in my Tâi-gí language lessons.
With that said, I'm struggling a bit to get the interface to make sense to new users, while still presenting all the functionality I want it to present... In particular, right now I want to _make it clear to users that they can change dialects/representations for the languages_ (POJ, KIP, Hakka dialects, etc)), but when I include that selector in the default view (it's also in the search options dialog) it seems too visually busy and makes it unclear what's actually the search bar.
Would anyone with web/app design experience be willing to provide some feedback and ideas on my beta version? Frontend work (and making things pretty) isn't my strong suit (I'm a backend engineer by trade), but I'm trying my best to learn and would love to try to build something better! Feel free to DM me if you'd like to chat more in depth.
