@hfaust Looking at Twidere's Timeline view I see:
1. Two timelines (Home and Interactions. Trends and Messages don't work in GNU Social) vs 10+ timelines in AndStatus (any may be hidden in the Manage timelines view). But these two are accessible from Action Bar, swiping between them.
AndStatus has one click switch to Detail timeline (click on a Timeline title). It could be a one click switch between two timelines...
Both apps have ”Drafts” hidden under the Drawer/additional selection.
2. Not clickable links in a Timeline vs clickable in AndStatus.
3. Same three Reblog/Reply/ Like buttons for each message.
Plus ”overflow” button for the Context menu. In AndStatus context menu is opened on a message click.
4. Conversation view is much like in AndStatus. No explicit "threads” though.
...
What else is important?
What AndStatus should improve in the UI?
1. We discussed Action Bar changes e.g. here https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/364 but didn't come to any real improvement... Please add your insight!
3. Message context buttons, maybe, work not as good as expected, see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/410
Do we need to add the ”overflow” button also?
What else?
In general, such changes are hard to implement not because developers cannon program them, but because telling ”do like this” is too far from what is needed to know/ to consider about how this change should / will influence existing features and their users... I.e. more analytical work and consideration is needed. Otherwise such changes will actually cause degradation, and not an improvement...
