    Looks great, even for an early draft.

    I like the current green upvote color more than the orange in the proposed design, I associate orange with negative, maybe as it’s closer to red. Green is positive for sure “Green light go!”.

    I think the border between posts is a bit too big, could be halved. Some gap between posts or a border is good, but too much costs information real estate.

    The community search bar at the top is a good addition, though might be better to reveal on a short pull down action. Brief or short pull down reveals search bar, longer pull down refreshes feed. This perhaps could be true of the subscribe, about, favorite buttons. I’m just thinking of most common use, and all these things are more of an occasional/secondary use.

    Hey @gkd, are you looking for help with the designs of the app? Currently working as 3+ years experienced UX designer and i have some spare time to maybe help you?

    I will also take a look at these designs on monday to provide some feedback :)

    Looks great!I really enjoyed the text.

    I agree that orange for upvotes seems odd. I liked the comment thread lower down with different colors for the levels of comments, that’s helpful. Agree it could be a little bit tighter spaced but I don’t hate the way it looks now, a little bit of real estate is nice on the eyes.

      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.
