Stemming from the conversation in issue #1061, @ezl and I discussed the layout of DI and making sure that the interaction of browsing ideas was made to be the primary focus. The exploration of this discussion can be seen here.
This exploration looked at focusing the user on the idea in front of them and the interactions associated with that idea. It moves like, comment, and share down below the idea, replacing the bottom nav. The bottom nav moves to a drawer that can be toggled by tapping the profile icon in the top left.
Based on the exploration in the movie, the current discussion stands as follows:
Most users will lurk and won't post, so moving post/my ideas to drawer cleans up UI and focuses user. However, it needs to be explored more so that it is not too hidden and user is still incentivized. Initial thoughts are changing chevron to a quill.
Paginated idea tapping will be ditched, to keep interactions focused on tapping into an idea. This pattern works with photos since they are stand-alone objects, with clear divisions between items, but that is not the case with ideas.
Is heart the correct default reaction? What about holding on the react FAB to react with different reactions.
Further exploration to iterate on bringing the quill to the surface while still keeping the focus on browsing and reacting
default
reaction pressed
reactions tapped
