Bookmark button usability #1677

Open smonff opened 4 years ago

smonff commented 4 years ago

Just installed Tusky 10.0 beta 1.

This is only a personal feeling, but I feel like the new bookmark button is misplaced because it is actually where was the fav button before. When I want to fav a toot, I try to press bookmark. Note I am using my right hand and that I didn't used TuskyX long enough to be able to change my habits.

Maybe the bookmark button could be on the left of the fav?

Just some user experience issue.

Tusky Version: 10.0 beta 1

I'm thinking about moving the button into the menu like the Mastodon interface web did.

Mastodon Web displays a bookmark button but only in the expanded view of a toot (i.e. when the toot is opened in its own column). It might a good idea to do the same thing.

I understand that you consider having the bookmark button not accessible in the normal list view - that I'd see as opposing the (my) main usage of the bookmark button as "remember to follow up on this later" which is how I mostly use it - like, there is a toot with some links I'd want to have a look later. Having bookmark hidden in a deeper menu would mess up such a workflow, thus I'd highly prefer to have it directly available.

When it comes to upcoming repositioning of the buttons below a toot, please consider moving the rightmost one far enough to the left to assert it is not taken as a "tap on the right border" which seems to be triggering the "open toot detail" action? I typically need several trials to hit the rightmost button as it always ends up opening the toot. :-(

@connyduck I agree, I think it might be too prominent to be in the list (it's a rather rare action)

connyduck commented 2 years ago

Yes, let's move the button to the three dot overflow menu. Maybe have it still visible on the detail view?

charlag commented 2 years ago

sounds good to me

Do we still want to move this into the menu?
