Concept for Continuous Listening panel

[jbwharris]

I was looking for something to get my feet wet using Figma and thought I'd mockup some ideas I had for the Continuous Listening panel in Finale. Here's a working prototype of the idea I had. Just click the button at the bottom to see the various states.

Problems I was looking to solve

1. Make it easier to identify what the continuous listening page is doing at any given time at a glance. I find I use the app a lot at a distance on my iPad, be it in my living room while I'm in the kitchen, so being able to identify if it's doing it's thing from a distance is useful.
2. Make it easier to activate continuous listening mode. I'll be using it in my car from time to time, so being able to quickly activate the listening mode without futzing with my phone is key.

Added a much larger button at the bottom of the screen that serves to tell you what mode it's currently in. As well there are coloured icons that indicate whether the song has successfully scrobbled or if the song wasn't matched.

Added listening mode in a colour that reflects the iOS listening mode dot that appears in the top bar.

Song not matched, so it shows a red/pink colour to indicate it was unsuccessful.

Song is matched, so it shows a green colour to indicate it was successful.

Any feedback on this concept is welcome

This is awesome! I like the idea of making the current state super clear at all times. I'll look into implementing something like this.

@nrubin29 I can cook up some tablet views for this as well. I just wasn't going to get too far down the road for other views if the whole concept got shot down.
