Feedback on Input’s UI and UX

As a product designer, I see several issues in Input’s current UI and UX that impact usability, consistency, and perceived product maturity. Below is a structured summary of areas that could be improved:

• Once an icon is assigned to an action, there is no way to remove it without deleting and recreating the entire action. It would be more user-friendly to allow clearing or resetting the icon directly.

• When creating a new multi-action, selecting keys/actions from long dropdown lists can become cumbersome. Providing search within these dropdowns would make it much easier and faster to find the desired key or action.

• The interface appears to use multiple icon libraries, which results in visual inconsistency. Standardizing on a single, cohesive icon set (such as an open-source library like Lucide which contains thousands of icons) would improve visual harmony and make it easier for users to find relevant icons.

• Whenever an action is created or modified, the hardware updates immediately, which feels slow and interrupts the workflow. Providing a setting to switch between manual and automatic updates would make the experience more efficient.

• The “My actions” section in the drawer can become difficult to manage when working with multiple apps and many shortcuts. As the list grows, it becomes harder to locate the right action. Allowing users to organize actions into groups or folders (for example, by app or context) would significantly improve navigation and usability.

• Requiring users to open a drawer every time they want to add or edit an action introduces unnecessary friction. Making this interface persistent (such as a sidebar that remains visible) would reduce repetitive interactions and make better use of screen real estate.

• Basic keyboard shortcuts are not consistently supported within Input. For instance, using ⁠cmd + A to select the entire HEX code in the RGB context menu does nothing. Supporting standard platform shortcuts (select all, copy, paste, undo, etc.) would make the product feel more polished and efficient for power users.

• From an accessibility standpoint, the app appears to use relatively small font sizes and button styles with insufficient contrast. Increasing type sizes where appropriate and ensuring buttons meet recommended contrast ratios would improve readability and make the app more inclusive.

• Many interactive elements do not have tooltips or any form of inline explanation. Adding concise, informative tooltips for icons, controls, and less obvious features would reduce the learning curve and help users build confidence faster.

Overall, the app currently gives the impression of being somewhat unfinished or in an early stage. Addressing the issues above, tightening visual consistency, and refining interaction details would substantially improve the quality and maturity of the product.
