If you use Micro.blog on the web, you may notice the layout has changed slightly. These kind of design updates are my favorite. Just a little better, not throwing everything out in a way that would be jarring.

Very nice!

great changes, a real improvement! I love it! I'm still wondering about the "Replies" placement.. would be better to put them close to the "Timeline" / "Mention" or under "Posts", before "Pages"?

Paul Robert Lloyd

Nice! I love continual refinements like this too, very much underrated. Unsure if related to this change, but the layout of profiles when signed out appear to be broken.

Jarrod Blundy

@numericcitizen Always been curious about that myself.

James Manes

It doesn't seem to support dark mode.

Simon Woods

Nice! It looks good as a separate app as well.

Manton Reece

@jmanes Oops, you're right. I did make a change for dark mode but looks like it wasn't rolled out properly. Fixing now.

Manton Reece

@numericcitizen @jarrod It's a good question. Replies doesn't perfectly belong anywhere. I didn't want it in the main 4 "social" grouping (Timeline, Mentions) because it seems confusing to have it next to Mentions. And it doesn't totally fit in the "blog" grouping either (Posts, Pages). So it goes in the "other" group at the end for now.

Manton Reece

@paulrobertlloyd Ugh, that looks terrible, sorry I missed that. Will fix.

Manton Reece

@stupendousman Thanks!

Ridwan Jaafar

Oh yeah! Didn't notice it until now. Nice!

Pratik

@numericcitizen @jarrod The Replies can go below Posts or even after Pages, right? Coz that page is basically to edit or delete replies, and that's what you do with Posts and Pages, too.

Manton Reece

@bix @paulrobertlloyd Same thing. It's when you aren't signed in that the layout is broken.

@manton I see this post as an excellent example of how useful re-posts can be. Not everyone follows you, and this is information that deserves to be shared among the #Microblog community. Unfortunately, it's not possible to help do it.

Numeric Citizen

on remove Replies section, and in the Mentions section, provide a filtering view: Replies | Mentions only ?

Manton Reece

@numericcitizen Doesn't feel quite right either because Replies is what you wrote, Mentions are from others. But maybe with some UI tweaking we could make it work.

Manton Reece

@pratik @numericcitizen @jarrod Replies are definitely the most similar to Posts, I agree with that.

Jarrod Blundy

I enjoy this diplomatic, non-committal reply, keeping your options open. 😜

Numeric Citizen

@jarrod he should do politics! cc

Manton Reece

@jarrod @numericcitizen Ha! I usually say too much. Working on it. πŸ™‚

Looks nice! 😊

Nice updates. Micro.blog is a real joy to use in the browser.

Jarrod Blundy

@jthingelstad It’s my favorite web app to use on Windows. πŸ˜‰
