Guess what everyone, Coracle is getting a redesign! nostr:nprofile1qqs8hhhhhc3dmrje73squpz255ape7t448w86f7ltqemca7m0p99spgpzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tchfhljx has put together some 🔥 mockups for me, but before falling down that rabbit hole I wanted to run it by my users and the #nostrdesign community. You can find the Figma below, along with some screenshots as well.
The goal for the re-design is to:
- Make using Coracle friendlier and more intuitive
- Make it look like it wasn't designed by an engineer
- Solve some complex UX issues, like custom feeds, nested modals, forms, etc.
Some questions I currently have:
- Is there too much uppercase text?
- Are the menus intuitive?
- Is it pretty? Is there anything you hate?

It looks really good! I like how the posts and menu are designed.
Here are some thoughts on a few details:
- I'm not sure about having "npub" next to the author's picture in every post. Is it distracting, and does it matter in that spot?
- Should the font for the post author's nickname be a bit bigger? It seems a little too small.
- The rounded corners on the mobile view look a bit strange.
- I prefer the current rounded post button at the bottom.
- Is the search bar at the top too distracting?
All great points. I'm told the mobile view will look ok on an actual phone because there won't be as much contrast with the body of the phone. For the rest, I think I might agree.
