A few notes on the interface so far

I think the “Done” button in the top right should be replaced with “Post”. I haven’t been enjoying the added friction of an additional tap to post a comment by having to hit “Done” and then “Save”. Or “Done”, “Save” and “Post” in the case of making a new post.

Also the Clan you’re currently browsing should at least auto-populate when you go to make a new post instead of making you select from a list. That’s going to get overly cumbersome real fast as more clans start being available.

Overall though kudos so far on this, it’s a very Reddit-like experience overall. Definitely a lot of areas for refinement, but the bones are here for something decent!

Since we don't have an Edit option yet (that's on our timeline) we thought it's better to have a Done button before posting directly.

Is it okay if we make this change after we implement the edit feature?

Hey @yd, you do you guys — no rush. Just weighing in as a UX professional and 12 year user of Reddit/Narwhal/Apollo.

Also looking forward to upvote count totals for comments to be visible. It’s very satisfying to see the number go up or down based on your voting on comments. :D

Thanks for the fast response too!

Read somewhere once that vote counts for Reddit comments greatly skews votes in favour of comments that already have a few votes. I kind of like knowing that the votes aren’t shown but they make a difference as far as ranking goes. That’s just me though.

That’s a fair point! The reason I miss it aside from the satisfying feedback that quantifies your vote’s value is probably just the gamification of it. Karma on Reddit doesn’t really mean much other than to act as a vague gauge of how old/new accounts are, but I’d be lying if I said that having a larger number than other people didn’t feel good and encourage me to want to make popular posts/comments.)
