SerpAPI - API Status Page
Hey guys, long time no see 👋
Today, I will show a project I've been working on this year.
In March 2023, I met the SerpAPI team, and they proposed rethinking the interface of their service. The API Status page was chosen as the concept.
After analyzing the existing page, I identified the following issues:
- Double navigation and an overloaded menu;
- Unclear switching of engines;
- Incorrect scale in charts;
- Lack of information on how it works.
I won't go into the details of the visual solutions, except for the story about the mascot, Scrappy the cat. He acts as an assistant who introduces the system, explains its peculiarities, and provides updates, among other things.
For example, to explain what Ludicrous Speed is, I decided to show it on a hoverboard. This is a reference from the cult movie "Back to the Future" (where Marty rode a hoverboard) to the equally legendary "Spaceballs" (Ludicrous Speed came from there).
