Product Ideas: Youtube's "Followed" Playlists

-
I'm an avid user of Youtube's Playlist feature. I've created my own playlists as well as used the Save Playlist feature to save other people's playlists.

But the current design groups all of your saved and created playlists together in the side panel. There's no difference in the icon whether you've created the playlist or not. 

Clicking on the Save Playlist button adds it to the side panel

I find the current view crowded and hard to navigate. I revisit my own playlists much less often than my saved playlists.
Personally, I would prefer a separate tab for Saved playlists while my own created playlists could stay in their current positions.

Idea: Click on Save Playlist button to populate the playlist under new Followed Playlist tab

Product Ideas: Getting more specific with locations

-
As a user, there are often times when you come up with product improvements based on the pain points you experience. I'll share two of my recent ideas centered around the theme of location.  Product : LinkedIn, Indeed, and other job search sites What : Add detailed job location (neighborhood or exact location) to job postings rather than simply a city/area. For remote jobs, allow for more detailed searches - is this remote worldwide or only remote within a certain country? Why : From a personal perspective, I live in a large city and the job location within the city matters a lot to me. A job might be listed in the same city that I live in, but it could take over an hour to commute to the location.  In general, for job seekers, this feature would allow them to better understand what the commute could look like. Employers would also benefit from a more relevant talent pool. Ie. job seekers can more readily self-select and employers will end up with applicants who are aware of t...

Tip: Create a radar chart in DS using built-in area charts

For this week's Makeover Monday , I made a 4 sided radar chart in Data Studio (DS) with the built in area chart. Note: This method works well for 4 sided radar charts but may not work with more variables due to limitations within Data Studio 1. Data Preparation Date for X values An area chart in DS requires a date for the X axis and a metric for the Y axis. Since I wanted to put Spring/Fall on the Y Axis and Winter/Summer on the X axis, I had to convert the Spring/Fall percentages to dates. I did this by choosing Jan 1 2019 (an arbitrary date) to be "0" and added/subtracted by the percentage point to get the final date values. Use a top and bottom area chart My area chart is actually composed of two area charts - one for the top and bottom. The reason for this is because DS doesn't handle negative Y values well and the background colour gets affected. You'll get something like Figure 1 if you use a negative Y value and it would be a hassle to fix the ba...
