Way better
Thank you for making me able and eager to discover nostr:npub17n4cuc4d6y6qh89dekvxrenfkt5s0n49xns00uavjaxpr36c55dq87fyh9 's Appearance Settings, nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z . PV đź«‚
I agree, way better 1 column. Two of them make me feel 2010ish.
I agree . .. it's much simpler and cleaner
The single-column layout is probably easier for regular users to get used to. And now it’s really easy to switch layouts anyway.
Easier? I don't know, maybe is true if we want to adapt to the comfort of users accustomed to the phone. But for sure the single column layout is slower, since it requires more clicks to browse around.
In this way, Jumble loses one of its most interesting features, and the desktop advantages, in order to conform to the “standard,” without any real data to support this supposed improvement.
I think many people come to Jumble wanting to have an experience like X app. And in my experience, people find strange the two columns, because it's not common on most successful social networks they still use.
I don't see any slowdown using single column and as Cody said, it's very easy to switch to two columns now.
Which interesting features we have on two columns that we don't have on single column?
My idea is to present a familiar layout to new users so they might find it easier to get started (though, of course, there’s no data to support this either). Once they stick around, they may discover the two-column mode on their own, and end up liking it. People tend to appreciate things they discover by themselves rather than those that are forced upon them.
My idea is that because users are already familiar with social apps' paradigms (feed, posts, etc) you don't confuse them with a slightly different UI that shows more content.
At the same time pushing two-columns you break the doom scroll goal that every platform has, giving more attention to long contents and genuine discussions.
So it's not only a UI preference, it's offering users a new perspective that is strongly related to Nostr's values.
Because people usually look on center of the screen to read and not on left side of the screen, haha.
In my experience suggesting Jumble to people, "many" of them have complained about the two columns is strange.
Oh really!?
So when they read a book, they move it to center the current page in front of the face? :D
Yes, if books were like tablets, I'm sure most people would prefer to have one page. Change eyes direction is never something people like to do if is possible not have to do.

True, we are going there.
But it's also about brain capabilities to handle larger/more complex contexts. We are more and more trained to manage small chunks of data, companies are babysitting us with simple interfaces. It's a race to the bottom.
At the same time LLMs fight to increase the memory context to improve their abilities. What a weird world.
Because everybody wants to be like everybody else, i.e. chase mediocrity.
Dad, you can just click on this link and fix it. https://shakespeare.diy/clone?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FCodyTseng%2Fjumble.git
But aren't LLMs mediocrity machines by definition?
I think Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Shakespeare are pretty baller though. I honestly feel like I could do nearly anything with it.
It depends on what you mean by "mediocrity machines".
They do, in a sense, strive towards mediocrity, but they don't get anywhere near it.
They are mediocrity machines in the sense that they are an attempt at mediocrity and they are *not* mediocrity machines, in the sense that they are a bad attempt.
