Status Row Updates
(* or things I'm thinking I might try to change in a fork, for my own benefit)
The thing I'm after more than anything is a minimalist interface.
Here are some tweaks I'm thinking of making:
- option to hide the the user's handle: seeing their name should be enough most of the time; if I hover over it (or long-press on iOS), then the handle can be shown
- option to hide the status actions unless you're hovering over (or have selected?) a toot
- show reblogs as (Original Poster (via Reblogger) - I think the original author's name should be the most important one
(obviously feel free to completely ignore this - I just figured I might as well tell you what I was doing in case any of it was useful or prompted some redesign)
Have you seen the toggle in the window bar for the "single line" mode? Very (too) minimalist too.
Yeah, that was a little too extreme for me!
This is where I'm at currently:
If you put up a PR I'll take a look. It doesn't necessary have to be an option. I've not focused too much on the UX yet.
I've put up #7, but it's all very subjective so don't worry if my changes don't appeal :)
It's an alternative mode but basically LargeStatusRow so could be swapped in for that.
Can we break the work up into smaller chunks? I'm leery of wholesale changes to the UI here.
yeah, that's what I was doing before you suggested putting up a PR - pulling out self-contained changed from here and submitting them as individual PRs. I'll carry on in that vein.
