The #BitShares user base is growing quickly and we have to prepare for many additional businesses and transfer providers that will join the ecosystem.
If you are familiar with the BitShares reference client you might get used on how to deposit, withdraw and send funds on- and off-chain, hereafter called the DW-Engine. But new users often struggle to understand how to use the DW-Engine and the result is many questions and complaints raised in the community channels.
Therefor I recommend to upgrade the DW-Engine and simplify all procedures as far as possible.
To begin with I would suggest to get rid of the separate "SEND" menu and merge the send and withdraw function in a single Menu.
Deposit/Withdraw
Deposit
Withdraw->choose between send and withdraw
Custom->Legacy DW-Engine provided by transfer providers, also for FIAT etc.
To make the DW-Engine smart enough a small database/table is required to host and maintain the required transfer-provider information. The table could be embedded in the client itself or if possible could be hosted on github repository for realtime updates(if approved by n devs).
I am not a developer nor a designer but I've created a couple of mockup screens for Deposit, Withdraw and Send as well as a process diagram to visualize how the procedures could be built to match the mockup screens.
This github issue is only for the DW-Engine, other visible mockup design elements or colors are not part of my suggestion.
DEPOSIT example
SEND example
WITHDRAW example
CUSTOM example for legacy DW-Engine and FIAT operations
DW-Engine process diagram
Transfer-Provider-Information example table required for the automatic token to transfer-provider enumeration
Even if my mockup's may be to complex I hope we can at least use some parts to make the DW-Engine more comfortable.
