#Brilliant #Look

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Comments

I think the new Home Page needs to be redone. It never changes, and it seems to change the focus of Brilliant from "challenging problems" to self-guided math education. And where's all the great Wiki pages now? I think if the Home Page is not going to be Community (which now I have to keep clicking every time), it should take us to some portal on Wiki pages, with the best or latest featured. You know, like what happens when we open up a news website. Keeps things lively. Otherwise, it feels like I'm back in school, and I don't want that.

I think it's a mistake, because when people not familiar with Brilliant.Org first click on to see what it's about, they're not going to see anything exciting . First impressions are the most important.

We agree that it's not ideal that the homepage is static. More homepage features are on the way, including featured new problems and wikis.

Suyeon Khim Staff - 6 years, 8 months ago

yeah its right that brilliant has turned from a" challenging question producing website" to a "self a guided math education"

Rishabh Jain - 6 years, 8 months ago

A better suggest. On opening www.brilliant.org, the community tab should be opened as default. :)

Dinesh Chavan - 6 years, 8 months ago

a better option !!

Rishabh Jain - 6 years, 8 months ago

It is $\color{#D61F06}{Superb!!}$

Anuj Shikarkhane - 6 years, 8 months ago

It's good. But unfamiliar with it . So it will take some time to adapt according to it. Change is always done for the better. Also I believe that change is the only constant.

Sandeep Bhardwaj - 6 years, 8 months ago

That would work great for a cool status..

Nishant Sharma - 6 years, 7 months ago

@Dinesh Chavan is right...Community must be made the default home page @Calvin Lin ..Just a suggestion...since we're very used to it ...

Krishna Ar - 6 years, 8 months ago

Yes it should be..

Deepanshu Gupta - 6 years, 8 months ago

Deepanshu and Krishna, your feedback on what should go on the new homepage is welcome on the new discussion happening here.

Suyeon Khim Staff - 6 years, 7 months ago

Also it needs to push harder to click something. It is very uncomfortable. :(

Sandeep Bhardwaj - 6 years, 8 months ago

yes i m too finding it difficult to use .if i want to open community problems then we used to click on home tab but now its community tab .

Rishabh Jain - 6 years, 8 months ago

I cant find the community problems on android

Sualeh Asif - 6 years, 8 months ago

@Sualeh Asif – Please upgrade your Android app to the latest version in the Google Play store (v1.8). This version has the new Community tab.

Anton Kriksunov Staff - 6 years, 8 months ago

@Anton Kriksunov – Yes i found it Thank you

Sualeh Asif - 6 years, 8 months ago

@Anton Kriksunov – When i open someone's profile on brilliant android app it does not opens all problems posted by him...

Aman Sharma - 6 years, 7 months ago

@Aman Sharma – Yes, the load more button never works and similarly with the sets, when I am seeimg others set I can only see few(2-4)

Krishna Sharma - 6 years, 7 months ago

@Anton Kriksunov – I have a request to make. Could you please make the Android app more fluid and functional? I mean selecting the options is not as smooth is other android apps. Plus the loading bar could be redesigned to match the latest material design ui by Google? I mean the entire app could use a lot of material design! I would spend all my nights on the brilliant.org app if this could be included! I hope this is a reasonable request which could benefit the entire wonderful community on this website!

Same here on android

Krishna Sharma - 6 years, 8 months ago

This one is good but the previous one was better. Here the community page should be stored as default under home button.

Manmeswar Patnaik - 6 years, 8 months ago

I happened to visit the site today after about 8 days, and was completely perplexed. I think this model is not that user friendly. According to me, unfamiliar users may find it odd to see problems and interesting notes under the community tab. As pointed out by others, .Community may be made the default home page since it, at the beginning itself, introduces the user to lots of questions.

Ritu Roy - 6 years, 8 months ago

It's just my opinion. I have not considered the long term effects or anything of that sort.

Ritu Roy - 6 years, 8 months ago

it is not good. the old look was better.
