I like this version a lot better, that tag cluster took up far too much real estate. Still want to see things like Voting Power, Vote Value, Rep and so on.
Being able to customize favorite tags on the top would be nice.
If you look at Reddit UI, make sure you install RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) plugin as it adds a lot of functionality and UX improvements for Reddit.
First comment: agreed too bulky. Not as minimalist as it could be. Allow a user less to learn, create a mechanic that works and is simple and desire t with personalization. Your analytics comments will be addressed on the “my blog” tab page which really is a hybrid profile page with the defaulted content feed being my blog. This is still the home page that allowed us to flush out the header and other areas. Stay tuned it’s coming.
Depending on how many tabs we have as it scales it may have value to add a top header banner similar to reddit i haven’t decided. On reddit it’s ugly and in this case how much is too much personalization? But agreed there are lots more tags coming. Ideally i hate customization bc I’d rather have a creative team do a proper field study, user testing and educated implementation to provide best case answer similar to my findings here.
Guilty! Never used reddit! I went there for my first time while exploring this redesign series for inspiration. But now that you’ve said that I’ll add that to see what happens. Good point!
