I’ve been playing around with Jerboa’s UI trying to make it more consistent and readable

    Thank you for the constructive feedback. This is not a mockup, it’s functional code. I will publish it and I will try to get it merged once I improve the styling and fix a few crashes. For the last point, I based the icon off of what similar apps like Infinity use. I guess it would make more sense to replace it with a bell or an envelope. Thank you so much for the very constructive comment :)

      Good luck getting it merged, I’d really enjoy using these changes.

      On the icon I have difficulty reading, maybe it’s just me… go with what you feel is right. I actually use Infinity and I can see now that the icons match. I’ll certainly learn to read it with use and it won’t bother me once I get used to it. But if you’re thinking about a bell as a possible alternative, that would certainly align with the web UI. But subtle choices either way. Looks super great.

      Good job with this! Apparently the inspiration for the Jerboa UI was Boost for Reddit. That’s not to say it needs to be a Boost clone in every single way, but if you want to see why certain decisions were made, it’s a good app to look at. I see that when you made the change to a dropdown for local/subscribed/all, we lost the sub text that shows what the current sort order is (active/hot/etc). I don’t know if that’s difficult to add back, but it’s something I personally would miss.
