We are redesigning the Primal phone feed. One of our goals is to optimize for information density. The current design is probably too sparse. Here are some concepts we are throwing around. Thoughts? image

It is hard to judge through the pic. Anyway, I like Plebstr-style UI more than Damus-style. But I'm almost using Damus only due to optimized UX and Zap. Zap takes greater than 80% portion of reasons of my decision. One more thing: I think it would be nice if I scroll down to refresh, it would show the old notes which I've been missing, not only latest ones.

I like revamp D the best. Seems like it makes the best use of the space.

Combine C and D. So C, but increase profile image size until half of the circle extends off the left edge of text and creates a bar of white space 50% width of D’s
Indeed in the "current" version the line height is too tall. I would offer a preference: * Standard (A), but increasing the font-size ~20% * Compact (C) This way you also please those who want a slightly larger font. The D is a good alternative to C but the space really saved is strongly related to the presence of images, and the left empty space is not so useful.
Cool man I was just testing it yesterday and thought it could have more density. It looks slick, but I have a big phone screen and I'd like to see more than 2 notes on it at a time as I'm scrolling. Loving Primal so far. Primal web is my daily driver now. When Primal Android has zaps working it'll be my main mobile Nostr app.

compared it to X, seems to be the way they have it over there

yeah, makes sense. plus then the eyes have to mostly go up and down, not side to side when consuming content, which is the better way to do it.

C because of the profile pics being smaller (they contain less info and can be recognized at a glance). Content itself still has the full width 👌. Lineheight is a bit off though and the margins/passings are not consistent yet.

Won’t load no matter the platform or hardware
Let me pick between A, C and D but adjust the font size to my liking. This is coming from a visually impaired guy constantly using screen magnification: The ability to adjust font sizes is an insane help as we can now match how far we scroll our magnifier versus how much information we can guess from a glance without. On Element on my Android phone, I have a much bigger font size, so I can skim messages for words by their optic. If I am interested, I can zoom in with the screen magnifier and read. Since the font is bigger, I don't have to zoom in far to read it well, but still have enough density that I have to move the view a little. I wouldn't neccessarily call this an "accessibility killer feature", but definitively something I would absolutely want. Thanks for reading!

Make sure to test with 5+ reposts of the Nostr Report, and a handful of other notes in between them. ;)
Last one feels best. Side note, when zooming in this image in primal, you can’t really zoom in it’s a pain viewing it on mobile
