And in a better spot. I'm not that thrilled about Reeder for Mac even though I love it on my iPhone and iPad, and a lot of it is due to the awkward position of the share button and such. The UI is really good looking but not usable enough.
- ugh 16y agoThat’s what I didn’t understand. NetNewWire has buttons on the exact same position (http://netnewswireapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mac_screenshot_widescreenView.png http://netnewswireapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mac_scr... – please note that NetNewsWire doesn’t even show an Unread or Flag button by default), why then is Reeder’s placement especially bad? It’s also not like the edges of the App help you a lot. Mac apps are at least by default not fullscreen, putting buttons in the corners doesn’t make sure that your mouse will be stopped by the edge of the screen right above or in close proximity to the button.
- wahnfrieden 16y agoIt seems that this is why the next OS X will feature special full-screen application UI, to take advantage of things like Fitt's law, instead of encouraging people to maximize windows.

NetNewsWire has the window titlebar above the toolbar. Reeder has those two combined in one bar (so there is less vertical space).
- ugh 16y agoYes, I read that, too. Seems like a dicy hypothesis to me. I would like to see some user testing.
