MODERATORS
 

I’m really excited to share it. Before diving into development and investing more time into this project, I would love to hear your thoughts and get some initial feedback on the app’s look.

If this concept receives enough positive interest, I plan to invest further by acquiring a domain and making it available for public use. It will be open source as well.

Thanks in advance!

Personally I love it. It's so different than what I normally see, and I think that's great cause it stands out and adds value. I'm imagining a dark mode with those colors as well!

[–] starman@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, dark mode is on my to-do list for this app :)

It's eye catching because the bright primary colors are really different from what you see in a lot of apps today! I do think the pressed bookmark button is not immediately visually apparent, so I would suggest maybe making it slightly desaturated or otherwise more obviously different from the two next to it.

[–] starman@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for feedback, I'll work on those buttons

Looks very pretty. I wouldn't personally use without a dark theme. Light can be overstimulating to some including those on the spectrum.

Improvement: It takes up a lot of space on activities not commonly done. Updates/source code/logout/settings/support/report issue. I'd hamburger these away.

I gotta say, I’m a big fan of this design

I love this!! It reminds me of a comic book

Sure, why not. You should collaborate with the dev of Lemming, which looks promising but the colors are just terrible.

[–] starman@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for feedback.

From what I found on Lemming's GitHub, we have different tech stack and goals. I plan to support all platforms including desktop to provide familiar experience everywhere thanks to PWA technology.

If you want to know, colors in my app are from tailwind css palette: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors#default-color-palette

Don't crop the pictures, pleeeeeease 🙏

So many of the apps do this, forcing you to click on the thumbnail to see the entire picture when scrolling. Maybe have a setting for people those that want the cleaner look.

I don't, I just selected more horizontal picture to show buttons underneath :)

And for people who prefer cleaner look there will be compact mode too

I won't use anything that isn't in dark mode

[–] starman@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

It will have dark mode :)

I am using Liftoff. It's pretty great.
