1BB Content Machine · UX debrief, Aug 5
Three clickable mockups of the same idea: put uploading and connecting on one screen, delete the tabs that imply manual work, and make reformatting something you do straight from the Library. Everything below is live — click it, filter it, remix something.
“It's already pretty easy, but it's just too hard to navigate. It's already doing the work.”
Kevin, on the call
stays moves into another tab deleted
Integrations and Recordings move onto Gallery. Voice folds into Settings. Write, Chat, Photos and Carousel are deleted — you make a carousel from the Library instead.
Tabs a member has to understand before they get any value. Settings doesn't count — nobody lives there.
All three obey the same rule, and it's the one thing worth getting right: uploaded media and connected sources share a screen but never share a list. They do different jobs, so they stay visually separate — otherwise merging them makes things more confusing, not less.
Mockup A
Your sketch, built. Upload on the left, Integrations on the right, one media grid underneath — numbered 1 and 2 so the whole job reads as two moves.
Mockup B
Sources stop being a tab entirely. Upload and Integrations sit in a rail that's always on screen, so the Library — the thing members actually use daily — is what they land on.
Mockup C
The Library becomes a list, and every row has one button: Remix. Turning a post into a carousel stops being a feature you find and becomes the obvious thing to do.
What's real in these: tab switching, shelf filters, search, the media picker with its “used in” trail, multi-select, and format-switching — pick Make into… on any piece and watch it get made. Media shown is sample content, not a real member's.
Still to decide: once Recordings moves onto Gallery, whether it keeps its own shelf there or just sits in the grid — and where a member goes to write something by hand on the rare day they want to.
