hmm, I don’t love the home button having an unclearable dot if you use Discover as your main feed… maybe that needs some thought

ok here’s my solution for what to do about the FAB: 1. only get rid of the button in the root screens - home+your profile 2. only show the dot on the home tab if you’re currently on the home tab 3. make the FAB smaller and less extremely ugly on the rest of the screens

make the fab smaller and remove the icon yes. but don’t get rid of the fab. on android it’s the only way to scroll to top. and i think it’s useful even on ios because i don’t want to move my hand up there to scroll to top

@samuel.fm
but if we’re only removing it on the root tabs, you can just press the tab buttons no?

idk double tapping the home icon to me isn’t super intuitive. particularly if you don’t know it’s a common ios design thing

it’s not a double tap tho is it? it’s a single tap, it performs exactly the same function for comparison, this is how twitter does it

what was your solution? I was thinking when we poll we fetch 3 posts, and if we load more we use those 3 posts’ cursor when loading the “first” page and prepend the prefetched posts

"when we poll we fetch 3 posts" idk what a fab is but unconditional support for samuel

idt it was actually my solution (though i know i was thinking about this and had a thread with dan somewhere before i even got hired lol). but iirc you actually determine what the cursor should be and use that

also idt it needs to work in feeds for now. i think what people really want is for this to work in following? (but maybe im wrong)

blue dot on home icon is a pretty common affordance for that reason I think personally I've never used the fab because tab bar is right there

Double tapping? If I'm on the home tab and tap once it goes to top, and it feels intuitive The round scroll to top thing is obtrusive when I'm doing a long scroll, would honestly love to see it go 👀
