After a bit of experimentation, I'm starting to form an opinion:
Yes, I do like this web interface for being clean and simple and following the original design of the web and http: You have addressable resources, you have verbs on them.
I still think there's room for improvement:
- It would be nice to have resources for local copies of toots. It seems there's just a link to their original location right now.
- Some custom styling would be nice as well (e.g. I don't like the monospace font everywhere and would prefer to have it only for code blocks). Could be as simple as an optional CSS snippet in your local account settings.
- A little bit of progressive enhancement (using the APIs already there, see also ROCA) wouldn't hurt, e.g. to optionally improve the search and similar, as long as the basic structure and script-free functionality remains.
Also, unrelated to the web UI, it seems #snac doesn't allow following hashtags, that's something I miss :(
