hey, been using Nostria (android) for two weeks now (during testing), im a newb so mainly focusing on UX/UI, here's my takeaways:

- media previews & playing/interaction is exceptional, really nicely embedded, slick.

- the opaque menus are tidy (premium feel)

- pfp, event loading is super fast, the home feed feels really slick and approachable

- it feels very stable and reliable, never crashed in two weeks!!!!!

- there's an overwhelming choice of menus/3 dots, which end up looking a bit messy/confusing

- some icons/buttons are not intuitive (guessing this is why they need text under some)

- too many options to do the same thing - e.g. '+' (create) should just be on the bottom menu, remove it from anywhere else

Overall, I think an absolute solid 7/10. The back end feels very well built, the UX/UI just needs a tidy up (less is more).

Happy to engage and test more on any aspects of this. Hope the roll out goes well.

Thanks for the feedback! The last 10% of optimization takes 90% of the time, so every little improvement goes a long way to improve the user experience. Will remove the "Create" options from the app menu. Then there will be only two places to create a post, article, etc and that is middle of mobile menu, and on the top of the hamburger menu (top left).

Thanks for the reply, I assume the 'to do' list is fairly long, and people like myself keep adding to it.

I have faith that Nostria will constantly improve. Great start.
