This solution in this particular case also reduces the wasted space of the hero image across the top. Given FB's poor content, it is usually a stupid meme or some blurry cell-phone pic that was posted 2 days ago. Or maybe that's just my experience so far. But the news across the bottom seems way more useful then the hero image.
- scottieh 13y agoYour point about reducing the hero image is a very good one. I hadn't thought of that. And even if it's a poor quality image, the content is mostly static and distracts from the entire purpose of the navigation: getting you reading stories.
- eigenvector 13y agoI understand why marketing shots of products like Facebook Paper or Facebook Home use beautiful, crisp photos to promote the product. But I don't understand why these apps seem to be designed on the assumption that real-world Facebook users' feeds are actually filled with such photos. The same applies to the giant contact photos in Android 4.1+. This is great if all of your contacts have beautiful high-res headshots. In real life, most don't and it's an ugly pixelated mess.
