No time to code yet but started playing around. Mockup

(#2kj5qta) cc @eldersnake @david @jlj @laz @carsten @thecanine @mutefall @markwylde @deebs @caesar (probably forgetting a few folks, sorry!) -- Please have a look at the proposed layout/designs @justamoment is proposing in a new Mobile / Desktop app rewrite of Goryon (being rewritten as a PWA/SPA with MithrilJS) All opinions matter, even if you've never used Goryon before 🙇‍♂️

(#2kj5qta) @prologic Nice. Yeah, let's focus on that. I also recall Google offering a section dedicated to publishing pure PWAs directly in the Play store but I'm not sure if it's still there. And also being a PWA could open the possibility of an iOS version too, I don't own any Apple devices so can't help there. 😎

(#2kj5qta) @justamoment This looks pretty nice. Reminds me of tweetbot which is good. I guess

(#2kj5qta) @justamoment @prologic The design wireframes look pretty good, but those profile pictures better be squircles in the final release! 😏 I'm also still more than a bit skeptical about going from native to webapp. The webapps on Android tend to open in Chrome and to make it worse, with no option to disable history or other bloat from being saved through it. I'd love to be proven wrong, but so far I haven't found a PWA that'd work for me right out of the box, without me at best having to wrap it in it's own small browser that isn't chrome, through one of those rather sketchy sites like AppsGeyser.com.

(#2kj5qta) @justamoment The first one would be the obvious choice, if we plan to eventually add user banners. Otherwise there'd be way too much nothing around the profile picture and the other two would work better. 🤔

(#2kj5qta) @prologic Ooh. 😲 I didn't know about the plan to replace Goryon, how do you manage to compile it for Play store and the others?

(#2kj5qta) @carsten Yeah, I looked up at a bunch of Twitter UI redesigns on Behance and Dribbble to understand how they tried to "improve" the app and took what felt nice to me for the #pwa For me an ergonomic interface is very important and keeping in mind the various ways to use a touchscreen + the desktop interface, I kept the possibility of having multiple layouts to switch to the user's liking.

(#2kj5qta) @justamoment Yup 👌 I can help with the iOS side 👌 And if we get this right I'd like to publish them as "Yarn" in both stores as "Yarn.social"

(#2kj5qta) @justamoment I think I prefer number three , but depending on colors chosen for the themes, the first one could also work, though I don't think it'd work well with an AMOLED theme. 🤔
