2 buttons/actions(watch, star) and 2 different pages(dashboard, notifications)?
Why not make it simpler but powerful by introducing better watch button (w notifications and w/o notifications) and much better dashboard page?
- stdbrouw 14y agoBecause starring something and watching something are different things both conceptually and in how people use these functions.
- obilgic 14y agoThey are not distinct enough to be 2 different actions. Especially having 2 totally different pages is a horrible thing(notifications and news feed) Why not just combine 2 of them together and create more polished feed?
- possibilistic 14y agoFor now, I have to disagree. I only want to watch the libraries/projects that are critical to what I'm building. This is a very small set of repositories. I have wanted the ability to star interesting things for awhile. This seems like it'll be great.
- stock_toaster 14y agoAgreed. (sorry for the accidental downvote. clicked the wrong arrow. such a tiny target on mobile!)
- bti 14y agoI like the distinction. I am used to "Star"-ing something in other web apps and I can quickly tell whether or not I am watching or bookmarked a repository when they are two separate things.
- wonderzombie 14y agoIt's bookmarking (a la a browser) vs. following (a la Twitter). Those behaviors seem quite distinct to me, warranting different UI actions rather than following and following-except-not-really-following.
