Gốc@flyosity hell yeah, still nothing came close to Tweetbot though
Gốc@flyosity sadly, most people know it to be true: https://x.com/joshpuckett/status/2090082022186512881
Gốc@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.
Gốc@bilqisium the way you could pinch outward on the surface of a single tweet row to see user details and replies was incredible
Gốc@flyosity they killed Tweetie for this. I still miss it to this day.
Gốc@flyosity @luciascarlet yes , we need this back
Gốc@flyosity The delicious generation
Gốc@flyosity retvrn
Gốc@flyosity An iPad app that seems excited you own an iPad. We've somehow made that a nostalgic concept.
Gốc@flyosity Still remember the first time I pulled to refresh 👌
Gốc@flyosity That was a fabulous UI. I miss that idiom so much.
Gốc@flyosity @luciascarlet iOS hunks*
Gốc@flyosity I’m usually not one for nostalgia but man this post got me
Gốc@flyosity Before the SaaSification of software
Gốc@flyosity Dude just bring it back, you have AI what are you waiting for. Beautiful tablet mode by the way, very refreshing UI
Gốc@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
Gốc@flyosity Loren Brichter FTW. This sliding panel pattern should've caught on for iPad apps.
Gốc@flyosity You’re cheating with the brichter example. Nothing else was that good back then! lol
Gốc@flyosity Twitter for iPad now lol what a fucking joke
Gốc@flyosity tweetbot shaped my relationship with apps
Gốc@flyosity @saraaa7447 This is way more beautiful of a UI than the one letter slop we have nowadays :3
Gốc@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.
Gốc@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.
Gốc@flyosity Tha bokeh background was the style back then! I write a Photoshop tutorial on that :)
Gốc@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"
Gốc@flyosity i mean the app on ipad is amazing till 2015 when they fucked it up
Gốc@flyosity i ported it for bluesky :) https://panes.ezhik.jp/
Gốc@flyosity Still couldn’t hold a candle to Tweetbot and Twitterific. Losing the third party iOS apps still hurts.
Gốc@flyosity My iOS App MinuteTaker has used this paradigm since 2012. I built the stack controller myself back then without AI 🙃
Gốc@flyosity I mean it looked a bit crowded but it's actually better than Twitter From today
