Week #5 #

Feedback #

Sessions #

We made a Google Form to collect feedback from the users. We sent the form and send it to tha potential participants from InnoChipDesign Club.

Results(10 responses): #

Submit interface clarity: Mostly clear; one user noted confusion between Example and Your Solution panels.
Expected results data: Status, simulation time, memory usage; detailed per-test data with waveforms; participant counts and average solves.
Bugs/issues: Non-functional “Browse Contest” button; mobile layout overflow and dynamic height issues.
Navigation suggestions: Scroll-to-top reset; horizontal nav; fix unresponsive buttons.
Feature requests: Dark mode; “Restart last submission”; contest filters; linting; usage examples.
