Library page layout feedback – spacing, alignment & sidebar

[ZayaFTW]

Just sharing a few personal thoughts on the current Library layout. These are only my opinions based on how I would like to see the site — happy to hear other perspectives or if I’m missing something.

POSITIVES

• The lesson level icons are noticeable, clean, and well designed.

SUGGESTIONS

1. Spacing issues
   The large empty space between the top “Continue Studying” section (especially the big featured lesson on the left) and the “For You” section below feels unappealing and creates unnecessary dead space.

   

2. Alignment problems
   The “See All >” button is not aligned with the “Lessons / Courses / Imported Lessons” tabs and doesn’t sit flush with the recent lessons.

   

3. Right sidebar balance
   The right side of the screen currently feels off. While the sleek and narrow Listen panel makes sense, below the Review panel has too much empty space. Making both the Listen and Review boxes the same height would use the available space more evenly and look more balanced.

4. Layout structure
   Consider extending the “For You” suggestions into a full-width row (similar to the Books row below it). This would create clearer visual separation between the three main areas:
   • Left: Lessons / Courses / Imported Lessons
   • Top right: Listen / Playlists
   • Bottom right: Review / Vocabulary

   A continuous “For You” row underneath would help the layout feel more intentional.

   

5. Listen panel functionality
   The current Listen panel looks clean, but it’s quite limited. It would be useful to have a small mini-interface on the main Library page that lets users switch between playlists or select another lesson from the current playlist without having to open the full Listen view.

6. Source logos at the top
   The logos for LingQ, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and TikTok are inconsistently sized and hard to identify at a glance. Using more consistent symbol versions of the logos (instead of the full wordmarks) would improve clarity and visual balance.

Update – Create Course option missing in the new UI

I’ve noticed another issue with the new Library layout.
In the old interface there was a clear green Create button that allowed you to create a course or import material directly.
In the current version:

There is no Create button on the main page or on the right side anymore.

The only remaining Create option is in the left sidebar.

That left sidebar button only offers “Lesson”, “Lessons in Bulk”, and “New Chat with Lynx” — there is no “Create Course” option.

After clicking “See All >” from the home library page and landing apon the main Courses page itself there is also no way to create a new course.

Right now the only way to create a course is to first try importing a lesson and then create the course from there. This feels unnecessarily complicated compared to the old design.

I think the ability to create a course should be restored in a more visible and direct place (either back on the main Library page or added to the left sidebar Create menu).

Thanks for looking into it.
