RE: 👨‍💻 10100 Condenser Redesign

in Steem Dev10 months ago

Thanks for your thoughts, they're all very useful 👍

For personal style choice, a selection element that allows the user to choose their favourite style would of course be best. Because everyone has their own favourites.

This idea has been suggested to me on Discord too - I think that some people are more familiar with the current layout than others and may wish to return to it.

The Pinterest solution is much more difficult and requires additional Node Modules to be installed. I quite like how it looks but I did find it more difficult to scan content.

I think that the font-sizes and white space will fall into place now that we can see it. The font-size definitely needs to be larger because it's not consistent with the new image size. That'll be the easy bit now 🙂

I can also very well imagine a flip element in the feed area in the currently free side area, in which the promoted elements appear alternately...

That's a good idea - something contextually relevant to the rest of the page would be good.

So far, I've focussed on display over new functionality because this would be an easier deliverable. In many ways, what I've done's a Proof of Concept for both me, the community and Steemit Team to show that we can start improving things fairly easily. Hopefully, this is the start of lots of small steps to change. Let's see 🙂

I think such "small steps" are also important to show that people are still thinking and want change. Not everything has to be different just because it's a little older.
New functions are - and I can judge this very well at the moment - much more difficult to implement. A subtle design change is also pleasing and can provide a fresh feeling :-)

I'm thinking the same as you 🙂 I think that with changing the interface, it'll take longer to make sure that it works cross platform & device than it will to change the code. I also see this as fairly low risk because there'll be minimal changes to the .jsx files. Some changes might be required but they should be small enough to review and understand 🙂

I've submitted a proposal to the DAO. I didn't quite understand what I was doing so it won't go live for another couple of days so I'll discover quite soon how big the appetite for change is 🙂
