الأصل@flyosity hell yeah, still nothing came close to Tweetbot though
الأصل@flyosity sadly, most people know it to be true: https://x.com/joshpuckett/status/2090082022186512881
الأصل@flyosity Screenshots don't do it justice tbh. You have to see the panels bounce around with the shadows, noisy backgrounds and embossed glossy buttons. I distinctly remember tweetie as being the first app that really offered something different on iPad and was truly a joy to use.
الأصل@bilqisium the way you could pinch outward on the surface of a single tweet row to see user details and replies was incredible
الأصل@flyosity they killed Tweetie for this. I still miss it to this day.
الأصل@flyosity @luciascarlet yes , we need this back
الأصل@flyosity The delicious generation
الأصل@flyosity retvrn
الأصل@flyosity An iPad app that seems excited you own an iPad. We've somehow made that a nostalgic concept.
الأصل@flyosity Still remember the first time I pulled to refresh 👌
الأصل@flyosity That was a fabulous UI. I miss that idiom so much.
الأصل@flyosity @luciascarlet iOS hunks*
الأصل@flyosity I’m usually not one for nostalgia but man this post got me
الأصل@flyosity Before the SaaSification of software
الأصل@flyosity Dude just bring it back, you have AI what are you waiting for. Beautiful tablet mode by the way, very refreshing UI
الأصل@flyosity @luciascarlet I mean you only had to support a single screen size, single mode of interaction, etc. Also aesthetically that screenshot does look good, but it wouldn't surprise me if a good chunk of users found the information hierarchy confusing. Actions such as liking etc were hidden
الأصل@flyosity Loren Brichter FTW. This sliding panel pattern should've caught on for iPad apps.
الأصل@flyosity You’re cheating with the brichter example. Nothing else was that good back then! lol
الأصل@flyosity Twitter for iPad now lol what a fucking joke
الأصل@flyosity tweetbot shaped my relationship with apps
الأصل@flyosity @saraaa7447 This is way more beautiful of a UI than the one letter slop we have nowadays :3
الأصل@flyosity It's been hitting me a lot lately. Everything is so cluttered without any actual organization, everything is overdesigned but still so deeply fucking ugly. It's UGLY! It all looks like complete shit. And it all feels like absolute shit to use! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
الأصل@flyosity X app sucks as usual. Has a bug on my iPad Pro with attached magic keyboard. The trackpad scrolling up/down requires me to swipe left to right on the trackpad lol.
الأصل@flyosity Tha bokeh background was the style back then! I write a Photoshop tutorial on that :)
الأصل@flyosity the modern UI/UX designer strongly believes that they have to keep absurd levels of similarity accross different devices, otherwise stupid users would be too scared of something midly different and will avoid using it can't have anything good now, only "web but sligthly tweaked"
الأصل@flyosity i mean the app on ipad is amazing till 2015 when they fucked it up
الأصل@flyosity i ported it for bluesky :) https://panes.ezhik.jp/
الأصل@flyosity Still couldn’t hold a candle to Tweetbot and Twitterific. Losing the third party iOS apps still hurts.
الأصل@flyosity My iOS App MinuteTaker has used this paradigm since 2012. I built the stack controller myself back then without AI 🙃
الأصل@flyosity I mean it looked a bit crowded but it's actually better than Twitter From today
