Hello James Cameron sir, Thanks for your feedback. I agree with you that sugar is an educational platform and it does not look like flooding things on the internet but user experience plays a vital role in any of the platforms be it commercial or non profitable. Just a simple question: will you use a phone with no broken or no display, Same is user experience. So if we can improve, why shouldn't we improve ?
Also I would be thankful if you kindly let me know which of the proposed changes seems to reasonable So that I can further proceed with further contribution.
