Hello Lionel sir and sugar community,
I have proposed few changes to Sugarizer UI and I guess few
changes are worth adopting. I would be thankful if you once check the
document, if you find that changes will actually make difference to the UI
and user experience then please give your feedback. So that i can
contribute to the proposed changes.
I have proposed changes and given them numerical identification and also
shared the document in editable format so you find any changes can be made
please give your feedback.
