What was your intent behind adopting the "Tweetdeck" style of UI for this presentation? Tweetdeck's intent is supposedly that you'd need to be monitoring multiple feeds efficiently (e.g. you are a social media manager with multiple accounts, or you need live-updating search queries to react to).
For Reddit though, most of the time subreddits aren't really meant to be consumed "live", or many-posts-at-once, which means that for me, this ultimately just ends up shrinking my Reddit browsing experience into a thin column surrounded by content I don't care about at the current moment, which goes against the "efficiency" that I imagine this design is intended for.
For folks who like this style of UI, what do you get out of it?
- birksherty 6y agoI like it because I can see multiple feeds in a single page without clicking and loading more pages. I really hate mobile first whitespace trend of modern designs (not talking about reddit here).
- gimmemahlulz 6y agoYou can do that with multireddits IE: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit+funny+pics/ https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit+funny+pics/
- chomp 6y agoThey're intermingled though. I get whiplash browsing my feed because one post will be about 3d printers, and the next one will be about my local baseball team, and then the next will be a political cartoon, etc. This project is an interesting take because I can browse all of them simultaneously without having to context switch so much.
