Settings: deep UX redesign — checklist pattern, not form boxes
THE INSIGHT: Settings pages feel like work because they're designed as FORMS. 6 identical white boxes stacked vertically = 'I have to fill all this in?' But Aaisha's mental model is a CHECKLIST: 'Am I set up? What's left? Let me fix the one thing that's missing.' THE PATTERN: Each setting has 3 visual states: ✓ CONFIGURED → single summary line 'Bank account · Barclays · ****5678' [Edit] Clicking Edit expands the form inline. ○ NEEDS SETUP → expanded with instructions + form The first unconfigured item auto-expands. → EDITING → expanded form with Save/Cancel Save auto-collapses back. Green flash confirms. THE RESULT: - Everything configured? Page is SHORT. Green dots, one-liners. - Something missing? That section is expanded and loud. - No 'wall of forms' feeling. - Only one section open at a time (accordion). HEADER: Old: Dark stats bar with 5 cells of status dots New: Thin progress bar + human sentence 'You're all set' / '2 things left before you go live' Counts only essentials (WhatsApp, bank, charity name). LAYOUT: Old: 6 separate bordered boxes, each with header + form New: Single bordered container, divide-y between items Each item is a clickable ROW that expands/collapses Blue left-border accent on expanded form Status dot: green=done, amber=needed, gray=optional SPECIFICS: - WhatsApp: collapsed to 'Connected · +447xxx · Receipts, reminders' Expands to show QR or features grid - Bank: collapsed to 'Barclays · ****5678' Expands to form + live 'What donors see' preview - Charity: collapsed to name + color swatch Expands to form + pledge page header preview - Stripe: collapsed to 'Connected' or 'Optional' Expands to key field + webhook setup - Team: collapsed to '3 members · 1 leader' Expands to member list + invite flow - GoCardless: dimmed when collapsed (advanced), expands normally NEW COMPONENTS: - SettingRow: generic expand/collapse row pattern - WhatsAppRow: special case with QR polling - TeamRow: special case with member list + invite - SaveRow: Save + Cancel buttons, auto-collapse on save - Field: reusable input (unchanged)
