Color scheme 🐶🐾🫡😔

Yeah that can be tough!

That’s the hardest part, imho, and so many get it so wrong 🐶🐾😭

💯- see it everywhere

Nips are not always clear on how we are supposed to query, had to tinker around a lot before I could figure it out, also sometimes clients add some metadata on replaceable events, which are not parts of NIPs which someone can unknowingly nuke if they are not aware, ex: content in kind3 events

Ahh sorry you meant design, everything in that aspect 😂 I’m a noob

This is probably good feedback for NDK?

Probably, haven’t interacted with ndk ever 😅

too many input, my eyes are everywhere.

typography

colour palate

on how to enhance experience on what makes them special

I hear ya. The more functions we add, the more considerations for where things should be without overwhelming.

yea. i love nostr clients, and pretty amazing how client devs have operated on their own. but could be better, and design might ease up client devs in adding more features while enhancing user experience

Yeah it’s a delicate balance. On one hand you want the best possible experience, but on the other you don’t want to kill that curiosity that may lead to the breakthrough use case that is only solvable with nostr.

I'm curious what android devs/designers think about Material Design 3, in particular Material You theming? From an outsiders perspective, someone who doesn't use the components as a dev, but interacts with them daily on Graphene as a user, I personally love it.

I see a lot of design issues coming down to color theming, would I be mistaken to assume that Material You might help mitigate some of those difficulties for Android clients? In my opinion, the dynamic color system feels really intuitive and easy to adjust for taste on the users end.

I'd be curious to hear opinions from anyone that's worked with the system

Honestly have not heard about it. Need to explore! Ty for putting it on my radar

Of course. Here's the easiest spot to dig in. I'd love to get into it myself some day

the design part. can't make things pretty.

Using consistent idioms
