:mastodon: What's new in the upcoming version:

  • Alt indicators
  • Threaded lines natively! No more hacks.
  • Follow buttons instead of follow icons
  • Local and Federated are now combined as "Live feeds", under it there are tabs Local, Remote and All
  • Direct messages are now "Private mentions"
  • Three dot menu is now a burger
  • Context menus are more clear
  • Emoji menu is now slightly smiling instead of lol emoji
  • Banner notification bars have now border radius and are more clearly visible with bold text
  • Lists can now be accessed directly without the frustrating side step
  • Admin user interface is more logical
  • When replying, compose form has animated focus to clearly state it's appearing there

These are the ones I spotted for now! Perhaps there's more.

Please note the screenshot has enabled, it's not the official UI.

Ooo, can’t wait for the stable release! :pepedance:

@rolle quite interesting. I’ve had most of these for quite some time now, as I’m running , and didn’t realise they weren’t out on vanilla mastodon yet.

@rolle No quote toots?

@kallekn It's Planned on the roadmap: https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap

@rolle how about the ability to make follows included in a list not show up on the home timeline? I know it was merged but I don't know if it's included for release.

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@villasbc I'm not sure what do you mean.

@villasbc Oh, I have no idea what's included in the upcoming version, but everything that is merged is 100% included on nightly (main branch).

mehron,

@villasbc @rolle I've noticed this is live on mastodon.social and have been using it. There is a toggle switch for "exclude from home timeline."

villasbc,
@villasbc@mastodon.social avatar

@mehron @rolle oooh nice it has been live and I didn't notice it 🤦‍♂️ thanks!

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@villasbc @mehron Yeah, mastodon.social has newest nightly. 👍

villasbc,
@villasbc@mastodon.social avatar

@rolle @mehron Aha, didn't know that. Cool, that's one good use of a "flagship" instance!

@rolle Sounds good, except maybe the burger. For some reason, I find the dots easier to hit with the eye mouse.

@rolle «Direct messages are now "Private mentions"» — more bad wording… :-/

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@tivasyk It makes more sense still they're kinda mentions more than messages.

tivasyk,
@tivasyk@mastodon.social avatar

@rolle but «private» here is highly misleading since it will be perceived as «protected from possible peeks (usually) via encryption» or something while it most definitely is not, and this has to be stressed as to avoid possible errors and dissappointments.

how much sense does that new wording make now taking that into account?

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@tivasyk I didn't decide about it. If it bugs you, edit config/locales/en.yml and send a Pull Request.

laokrat,

@rolle A bit sad that the word "Federated" will be removed. But I guess making Masto more user-friendly means sacrificing some stuff.

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@laokrat It won't be removed, just moved under Live feeds > Remote.

@rolle do you think there will be a day when you “win” i.e. when the official client has adopted all your changes, and you won’t need to maintain bird ui anymore?

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@anders Heh, I don't think that will ever happen.

Purple,
@Purple@woof.tech avatar

@rolle Any chance you could show it to us without the custom UI enabled? It's hard for me to see what actually changed considering the UI you have enabled moves a lot around already

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@Purple Nah, I'm sure you can wait for the official release/changelog. The UI is pretty much the same, minor element tweaks here and there.

Purple,
@Purple@woof.tech avatar

@rolle I don't understand why you'd make this post then, if your primary goal is to advertise your UI.

Your UI is massively different from mainline mastodon, not only are your elements on different sides, your buttons are rounded off and the design for feeds looks different with less contrast.

Idk how this is helpful for people reading The hashtags you've used

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@Purple Because I wanted to and folks asked about it. I'm not here to advertise and there is no need to attack me like this. Have a nice day now.

@rolle many of these additions make me happy!

Выглядае так, што трэба будзе дарабляць лакалізацыю, бо меню зменіцца моцна
