Finally tried out Primal on Android and... I see why the hype. They've nailed the UX 95% of the time. The reads tab is especially pleasant. Soe bugs/suggestions for @miljan a team:
- Scrolling the feed naturally often opens the side nav. Dial that gesture down.
- I've always hated twitter-style notification pages. Take a look at coracle's notifications page for a (imo) much more helpful notifications view. Noy only does it show context, but it also ends up acting as a readable digest.
- I had to bail when writing this note because the note compose screen was missing keyboard input. Like, I had to type the same letter multiple times for it to register, and then it stopped working altogether.
Primal is almost a completely different experience from coracle, down to what content shows up. Sort of dicey too on the explore tab. But great work, really.
