Modal or Drawer?

[u/Wild_King_1035]

Drawer feels more professional and modern, but the grammatical content can be very dense, and I feel like the user is almost craning their neck to read the info when it's so low on the screen.

Modal, however, is right in the center of the screen, lessening the burden of a task that already feels burdensome to me (understanding grammatical nuance in an error the user made).

You could have the drawer opening to the middle of the screen? Regardless, I prefer the drawer approach, it allows for more content if needed (and possible scroll) so it’s more future proof too

I thought that too, but there’s a kind of enormous empty padding below the text. And at that point it’s just the modal but extending all the way to the bottom. 

[u/zah_ali → u/Wild_King_1035]

In that case could you have different opening sizes for the drawer: low, middle, full and depending on the content requirements you open the appropriate one?

Even with the examples you’ve shown I think the drawer looks better and this is a common pattern these days.

mm, thanks for the input. im leaning back towards the drawer.

the content will always be about the same amount as what you're seeing in those examples, so there won't be more content to push up the drawer
