@realcaseyrollins @igel @design_RG @alex Alex is going to win over many many new users -- I am impressed.

Honestly. For a new user coming from FB, I have not seen anything easier to adapt to. Kudos are in order!

Excellent design, simplicity while using the underlying much superior Pleroma back end.

I am giving up on Mastodon, tired of the project's tight control and lack of innovation. Still like GlitchSocial, but it's much slower than all the Pleroma instances I have tried.

Eugen could really look and consider ideas, but. You know. 😉

@yann @realcaseyrollins @design_RG @igel Thanks for the kind words! I hope so, winning over new users is my goal.
@alex

I could tell -- it's a clear design. Lots of interesting touches. Will be very successful, I am sure.

Great work, I will be writing a full blog post with my impressions, screenshots and notes soon. Thanks Alex!

Like this neat little thing I just noticed -- after replying to your post, in the notifications panel -- the little Thumbs Up Reaction button gets a little animation.

Twisting a bit, incentivating a reaction. Wow. It will lead to more responses/interactions indeed.

@yann @design_RG @igel @realcaseyrollins For context, this frontend is based on Mastodon's, so it's actually the same behavior of as Mastodon's twisting star, just replaced with a thumbs up. 🙂

The overall redesign of the frontend also comes from Gab, who originally created created the single column layout with the top bar. My role has been updating, polishing, and extending it to work with Pleroma. I have a lot of design ideas about the future, though.

Wonderful Alex! Keep going, your work will make things here accessible to many that would not bother with the current alternatives.
