Small UI Improvement: Increase Gap Between Collapse Comment & Username
I'm really enjoying the mobile interface, if there is one improvement I would like to see be made is the ability to quickly swipe through on a touch interface and collapse comment threads that I want to skip. I'm using a larger phone, and have pretty big fingers, so I'm constantly hitting the username and accidentally begin reading their post history. Maybe I just have poor hand eye coordination, but the collapse button is small and really close to the edge of the screen.
This could easily be remedied in a couple ways, by either adding a couple more spaces between the button and username, or by making the button rectangular instead of square.
I know I misclick quite a bit as well due to the thumb reach. A larger gap would definitely be useful.
Sorry for being out of the loop but what's this mobile UI everyone keeps talking about??? I've only seen the regular desktop site on my tablet...?
It is the regular desktop site, it just has a few features that lets it work well on mobile devices.
Really? Interesting, what are some of those features?
It has a sidebar menu on the main page that shows your subscripion, if you have new replies, etc. It also makes the collapse button bigger and right-aligns the reply button. I probably missed several things. If you want to see for yourself, you can open up the developer console and click on the picture of a phone.
That was a gold suggestion! I've never seen this interface on my tablet before, but now I see why, it's much better for phones then widescreen tablets. Thank you very much :D
