The image shows you adding a zap raiser to a post. It's only there because the zap raiser button has been pressed ( you can see the orange icon at the bottom). If you press it again, it disabled it. Those features get zaps to you, not to devs.

I think having to explain it as a developer highlights the point I'm trying to make with my feedback/experience regarding the UI. It often isn't clear at all what's happening in the UI. At least not as a new user. I have an experience like this every time I use the client.

Not every client will be for everyone, but I keep wanting to like Amethyst and end up getting frustrated trying to do basic things.

It has many cool features, and this is one, but it isn't cool when it's acting like a roadblock with no explanation. It could be just cool if the features made sense. Maybe an explainer the first time they are used? An intro on first launch?

Thanks for the response.

Well, this is the first time somebody confused this. I will see if we can improve the explanation text to make that more clear.

The confusion mostly comes from not knowing I pressed some button to get that popup while I was typing. It happened as I was typing, and grayed the post button out like Twitter does when you hit the post limit.

This caused me to think it was somehow length related. Long pressing or condensing some of the buttons in the UI would probably help. I'm not used to having so many icons right above the buttons I'm using to type.

It makes more sense now that I understand that the action was tied to an icon press. It could help to move the buttons away from the keyboard as well, or just have a post options menu. This would also clean up the UI.

You can also see in the attached screenshot that the message isn't even visible on my device until I happen to scroll down. It just looks like I can't post the note for some reason.

Thanks!
