With two categories of EDGE content to accommodate, the narrow column needs more room. The next UI direction is to let the workspace expand while keeping NOW visible.
Expand from EDGE toward NOW
The first expansion state would use the Candle area up to the central NOW view. A wider state could extend farther across the surface, with NOW remaining visible at the right.
The interaction should leave room for additional EDGE categories over time.
Start the picks workflow with a manual input
The Glick’s Picks discussion proposed a simple initial test: paste the supplied morning email into the workflow, surface relevant content in EDGE, and evaluate an audible notification.
This establishes the experiment; it does not establish a completed email automation.
Revise the VWAP animation
The blue and orange strands should behave like material caught in an extended gravitational field. A gold-toned sheath would surround them, and a visible gap would keep the vortex from touching the black hole.
The revised sequence calls for the full vortex to fade into view before transitioning toward the dashboard.
Keep NOW visible while the workspace expands.
- More content needs a deliberate navigation model.
- Expansion should let the trader inspect details while preserving the central time context.
Test the interactions before adding more content.
- Prototype the two expansion states.
- Test the manual picks workflow.
- Review the animation against the revised vortex brief.
