oh, yes 🙏 I would love for the top 3-4 most used accounts to appear on hover so I can single click to switch to them. Having all of them visible all the time like we do in Elk may be too much, but show them on hover may be a good compromise. Maybe also keyboard shortcuts? That may work even better.

yeah, atm I’m just leaning on our existing Menu component, something like that would be nice but a lot more work

makes sense, it also doesn't fit well with bluesky current design and I don't think it is worth changing it for this feature. But from your video, there is space for the top 3 most used accounts to appear on hover maybe with a bit of overlap behind the current user to avoid the need for two clicks

Sorry, but that doesn't really do anything: it's no visual cue that it will do something, and it's not joyful on its own 😰 also, the cursor is wrong.

not joyful? ☹️ also, cursor is correct, just doesn’t show on the screen recording

Yeah, it's not cute or "ah-ha!" Why does it get smaller? If it were politely getting out of the way or like it was shy, that would be joyful. But it doesn't seem to signify anything, and it's unexpected, so if anything, it's a bit disorienting. It may actually make more sense if it got bigger.

Tentatively agree, I really appreciate the functionality, but the hover behaviour seems a little strange Maybe would make more sense if the most recent account avatars appeared alongside (after the shrink?). As is is a little confusing imo

Yeah, don't get me wrong, the effect is really smooth and perhaps could work really well on something else. But here, I think it doesn't. PS Sorry @srsholmes.com there wasn't enough character limit for the previous message to also complement.

Hello 👋🏻 Was I meant to be tagged in this post? I'm not sure I've followed the thread correctly 🙂

I think I agree on the ah-ha part, but I wonder if the cursor in the recording (not being the pointer hand) is actually the main thing causing it to not indicate that it does something. And if it had that, maybe it wouldn't need to be cute?

I wonder if it showed some text in between the avi and ...? Like "switch profile" or something?

What I meant by "it isn't cute" is: if it's not functional (eg a cue), it should be cute. If it's going to shrink, it could shrink _into_ the menu. Then it's providing a cue to what the feature does. Or, perhaps the menu appears out of the shrinking thing, making it look like zooming into the air.

Please copy the meta thingy to double tap your profile picture to switch between profiles instead of the long press 🙏
