Oh well maybe I can make choosing old/new possible after all.

That's so android of you! Us iOS types just make the change and say "deal with it our opinion is perfect! :) "

Honestly though stuff like cramming things together to save a line or two usually isn't worth it. Your users are going to scroll if they're interested in the list, having say 5 threads visible on load vs. 6 is not really that significant or worth hurting aesthetics.

I know with the iOS app it looks like we have less text available for thread titles. However:

1) I don't think anyone has ever missed out on what a thread is because of the truncated titled

2) if they ate interest in the full title text they can tap and hold on a title to get a pop up action sheet which does display the full title text.

3) I just think the squares fit our Mobil limited width better. It's a more pleasing design to me then show horning in more text around the tag.

4) Low res tags looked like poo poo the one build we tried them in on retina display devices.

For what it's worth, this looks way worse than than Awful.apk in every way.

Maybe our OSes just have us brainwashed out of what to expect in app design. When I see the Awful.apk shots I'm completely turned off by it visually and appreciate Awful.app more. However Awful.app is pretty standard iOS in design.

It was decided that high quality OP's couldn't / wouldn't be created on mobile. That said, your phone has a web browser, so go nuts there.

This is what we used to say about the iOS version, in all honesty it's just a cop out.

Is there an easy to use Kit Kat simulator where I can steal ideas play with the latest build of your app? Just curious.

When using a phone with your right hand, your thumb most likely hovers around the top right. Thats why that icon there is very convenient.

Do you have an actual study to back that up or is that just your usage? Because I would put my bets on the middle/bottom and centerish maybe even left being where most people hover their thumb when holding a phone right-handed.

EDIT: Just want to throw it out there that I am generally curious if there's data on this, not trying to be a cock.

A list icon with a little send icon in the bottom right would be cool for that button.

Posting a thread was added in iOS Awful and.... it made no noteable difference in the quality of the forums.


I think it's a busted argument at this point.

Dear Android friends:

It warms my heart to see a survey being done and gathering group feedback. It hurts inside when a single edge case posts a thought and the app gets changed for the worse because of it.

Your pal,

You dinguses the point isn't that I don't know porntoes from pepe it's that I'm concerned about other people seeing the frog and misunderstanding.

And then? Go on.

And it's not so much that I care what strangers may think of me, although of course I do a little.

Actually a lot. That's your whole concern. You also have unrealistic expectations for how many people see a frog and think White Nationalist. It's an extreme niche internet culture reference. It's not normalizing anything and the swastika reference is hilariously off point.

And this is coming from someone who hates the frog.

There must be so many Mom's hiding in fear because their children have Frogger installed on their phones.

The way I understand toasts pop into frame, like... toast. Not sure if dismiss able is a requirement or not.

Snack bars are more static, not dismissable.

This is from 0 time spent reading standards btw.
