UI is rough on mobile | Poal: Say what you want.

Honestly, I should say it blows but I might hurt somebody’s fee fees. Oops, I did though!

Mobile experience is really rough and too much scrolling is going and the button placements and sizes really need some rear entry love.

So, since I’ve never really been on Reddit outside of google searches. Is this on purpose to copy the interface?

I hate to say it but Voat was rather easy to use on mobile.

Is anybody here a designer? Maybe we could get somebody to do some mark ups and wireframe a new UI layout?

I’d do it but severely limited for time until September. I’m not a Designer guy though.

what do you think? Could you massage some of this stuff a bit so it makes more sense?

I appreciate the time you've taken to find and document things you're finding! Admins here are very responsive so most reasonable requests are taken care of or at least looked into.

To piggyback on your post I've noticed two things not sure about anyone else? Upvoting often takes several "clicks" on mobile and about half the time the context menu to drop down envelope for new messages does not display when clicked. Requires refresh of the page.

I’ve noticed that Boobs and Star are much more responsive and actually participate in the discussions.

I’m just doing what I normally do. Find and fix problems. Occupational hazard.

I have noticed any lag in voting but swiping back on mobile will fuck yo the comment box.

I find zooming in a little helps to get the upvotes to register

It works but clean up and ease of use could be improved. I’m not just criticizing but thinking of what can make things easier to use.

Don’t copy it exactly. But take away things that make sense.

tbh, it is... i have a rough time hitting the the top bar on my tablet, and really cannot.... and forget trying on my phone. *maybe it is my devices )) The side scroll bar is way to thin. the color schemes... while I like the the color in user names to denote rank etc, the rest is a bit hard and can be kinda hard to read, there is time i have to up up closer. maybe it is my monitors or some, or my age. idk

there is a few other tweaks I would do (in commenting etc) but now is not the time as i'm relatively new to the site

this is just constructive criticism (i realize it complicated, one thing to remember is quality of life)

hope all is well

*edit

oh there one user i seen who said make a default view... like i want to see is /all/new i want that only

poal just acquired two fucking juggernauts, possibly more
