Hey all! Thanks for all the valuable feedback that continues to roll in!

An amazing person is making us some Figma designs for memmy. These are some early designs, but I'd like to get some user input on them. Please check them out and reply here about how you feel, what you'd like to see added or removed, etc.

Thanks guys!

Looks great, even for an early draft.

I like the current green upvote color more than the orange in the proposed design, I associate orange with negative, maybe as it's closer to red. Green is positive for sure "Green light go!".

I think the border between posts is a bit too big, could be halved. Some gap between posts or a border is good, but too much costs information real estate.

The community search bar at the top is a good addition, though might be better to reveal on a short pull down action. Brief or short pull down reveals search bar, longer pull down refreshes feed. This perhaps could be true of the subscribe, about, favorite buttons. I'm just thinking of most common use, and all these things are more of an occasional/secondary use.

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback.

I agree on the upvote part. Honestly, most of it comes from my memory of using Reddit apps for it being orange/blue, that's just engraved into my brain from usage. It's easy to change though and might even be able to be changed in a theme. For default, I'd probably keep it either Lemmy colours or the current current colours. I'll have to think it over.

The borders are a little bit wide. I haven't really worked on getting an optimal height for them but I have a personal preference of more white space to differentiate content. You are right that could be at the cost of losing content. I'll tinker with it a bit and see what I like.

I'd really prefer the community search bar to be at the bottom. I'm trying to think of ways to implement that properly but I haven't really fully thought of one yet. I'm trying to focus more on reachability than Apollo did. Without sacrificing too much that is. As for the pull down, that would only have to occur at the top of the screen. The balloon menu contains some quick actions to press when you're lower down, making them easy to access if you need to. The search would be floating though as you say. If you're scrolling down and then suddenly scroll up, it'll appear regardless floating and you'll be able to search. At least, that's the plan.

I've modified the height between the borders, cards are 7px and compact cards are 4px. Let me know what you think.
