RE: You spoke, we answered

Hey good post on representing the 'human brain' behind 'the code'. It's good to read how you arrive at the visual changes to the user experience.

Since you're asking for suggestions.. what I find annoyig is that the 'back arrow' to return to the main list of articles stays up top. Since I'm on mobile and read articles and comments, I have to scroll all the way up to press that arrow. 'Back' on my device also registers with the underlying page and not the floating article. I view that as a bad design feature.

On your last screenshot too I think that is not at all beautiful to see the article image so tiny. This is something I've always disliked about Leo and Hive really. Some images display good but others just look badly framed.

Lastly the notification counter icon displays offset (on the high side) over the bell on my device. It's a minor detail but that's the thing about UI design. When something is out of place it stands out badly. The UI of Leo is getting there though so well done for your efforts in improving it.

    Thanks for the detailed response! I'll answer each one:

    the 'back arrow' to return to the main list of articles stays up top

    Totally agree. I really want to swipe backwards on my phone and that doesn't work. Unfortunately there's technical reasons for that and so it's more than a simple UI change. But I've been working on changing the underlying code and hope to have that in a few weeks.

    not at all beautiful to see the article image so tiny

    I agree on that too. Unlike the mobile UI which seemed pretty clear how each article should be formatted, I wasn't sure what the best desktop experience should be. I made a conscious decision not to put more time into the desktop UI. I would love to run a UI contest and have the community submit their designs which we could implement. Would love to see something that is wholly LEO.

    Lastly the notification counter icon displays offset

    Thanks, that's a good point too. Unfortunately it seems to be very different on different screens and I haven't yet spent the time to really dive into it. But it's on the list!

    I'm actually happy to hear this, it means everything else is looking really good! :)

    Thank you :)

        Thanks again! No it's not an issue with the discord icon, but that is a good guess. Investigating that showed me some other issues with placing of the reply editor, so hopefully I've resolved those as well.

        they too display article images oddly at times too
        Yeah, with images that can be of any size it's difficult to get it to look good every time. But facebook can do it, so we can do it too.
