I Wonder

It MIGHT be nice to have several specialised viewers. Say, a viewer with building tools laid out cleanly and prominently, and other typically onscreen functions made smaller or accessible by pushing a button to bring up a pane of social tools (Oh, the pain of social tools!).

I haven't spent much time thinking about this, but it came about when I was pottering about in the First Look viewer. I don't know how possible it is, therefore I will just throw my specie into the ring. It might or might not be two cents - it is sure to be two somethings, though.

I wondered if one reason the First Look viewer makes for slower frame rates is because it's running the client-side WindLight on top of the old cloud system. I don't know, I just wondered.

Anyway, my First Look thought was, why can there not be several viewers, from high-end puter specs to ordinary puter specs, so that there is a better experience for people? Thinking about it, the idea might be beyond brand-new users (maybe not, though). Currently I feel brand new people with low-to-medium specs log in to crowded and laggy areas, say, "OMFG!1!1" and log out. I think there could be a page on the sign-up sheet saying, "Assess your specs - choose a viewer. If you can handle more, get the enhanced viewer, if you are getting low framerates tweak or go to the basic viewer."

Anyway, this might not be for new users, but it would definitely be useful for seasoned users.

It would definitely be useful for things like building. There are times I spend hours building, and putting on a Builder viewer would be like putting on overalls in real life - a way of preparing. Builder viewer could have more decimal places, tools laid out differently.

What other viewers might be useful... hmmmm... not sure.

I that's a grand idea. As I get more into building I want my tools more accessible (as well as more tools) and less people annoying me even when I'm in busy mode (like landscaping that I want to do on the ground)

I think a special viewer for noobs is a good idea too.
 
hmmm not a bad idea ... *grinds up specie and melts to make jewelry*

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
