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!
Good to hear that you liked it!
The upvote/downvote colours will change. As mentioned prior, it was honestly just my brain automatically assuming they’re still orange/blue. It’s hard to get that idea out when that’s what you’ve seen for the last decade.
As for the comment threat, I’ve been debating the spacing internally for a bit. It’s almost a verbatim copy of Apollo, since I think if there is one thing Apollo nailed, it was the comments section. Although I didn’t really want to make things feel too boxed in. Sync has it very tight together and it feels very off to me. Apollo has them a tad shorter distance than this but also has shorter bars. I went for longer bars since it makes the rainbow look cooler. (sorry not sorry)
I did go for a bit of a real-estate focus for this. Social media can feel like information overload at times and I wanted to make it feel less like a barrage of information and more comfortable. I’ll have to tinker with it and see what is a happy medium. The spacing was done very quickly and hasn’t changed since the very beginning since I mainly wanted to get the view cards out of the way.
Appreciate the feedback though! Thank you.
Y’know, it’s funny. I’ve been using Apollo since I switched from Android to iOs about 2.5 years ago and I could not have told you what colors the upvote and downvote arrows were until I just went and looked. Keep the colors the way they are, or get really crazy and let users choose in the settings.
And as for spacing, keep it as close to Apollo as possible. My monkey brain hates change.
Some others have talked about the spacing. I’ve edited it a bit more to align it more to Apollo. Let me know what you think. https://imgur.com/a/vqJQiPI
The idea is to have similarities to Apollo and Sync. It’s the philosophy that I went with going into this.
Colours… I’m still debating honestly, green and white didn’t seem great for visibility and the text is a bit small for the upvote counts. I’ll have to experiment a bit more.
Please let me know what you think of the modifications.
Looks awesome!
Themes would be a great addition, will you allow custom themes?
Coming from Apollo, ease of reach with one hand would be such an improvement.
Keep up the good work
Yes! Custom themes will be implemented. I’ve already been toying with what some themes would look like.
