v0.2.5: Improving Discoverability
This past sprint the DUX team had only 50% of its usual development capacity available for work on the Governance portal (due to holidays and some maintenance work on another Maker UI). Nevertheless we're proud to release yet another coherent release of the Governance Portal! This release contains some smaller but useful improvements and additions related to discoverability. As the number of governance polls, delegate contracts and historic transactions within Maker Governance continues to grow we want to make sure the Governance Portal remains the easiest way for users to find what they are looking for. This release also marks the penultimate version of the Governance Portal of 2021—there will be one more release before we take a small break for the December holidays. We are preparing a roadmap spotlight presentation for early January in which we'll reflect on the past three months and also zoom into our priorities for the upcoming quarter.
Many of these features evolved from talking to members of the community, or suggestions on our idea board, so please join the conversation on Discord, or provide feedback at https://makergovernance.canny.io/ ✨
Featured Changes
Filtering and sorting for delegates
With a recent healthy influx of new delegates and some large deviations in MKR voting weight we have made some improvements to the Delegates overview page by adding filters and sorting. These should make it easier to quickly find the delegate contract you are looking for—whether it is a recognized delegate or a shadow delegate. We have more ideas for making it easier to pick a suitable delegate to delegate your MKR voting power to, so stay tuned there.
Delegation breakdown
Based on popular request we have added a delegation breakdown view to delegate profile pages and account pages. On delegate profile pages we show a list of account that delegated MKR to that address, and also reference the exact transactions—you can even manually verify these transactions on Etherscan! On the account pages we show something similar, except we show the delegation actions of that particular address, which might include multiple delegates.
Improved governance poll filters
After introducing filters for governance polls earlier this year we have made some UX improvements based on user feedback. The filters now indicate the number of results and it should be easier to interact with the long dropdown list of poll types. We have also improved the date filter behaviour by making sure it filters on poll expiry date vs creation date. Lastly, we also made these filter labels more explanatory.
Added "How to Vote" video
All credits to Maker's Content Production Core Unit here! They have been working on a slick video tutorial for the Governance Portal's critical user flows and we were happy to include the video on the homepage. We have some very exciting plans for the Governance Portal landing page so expect more on that front.
