#mastondon Friends!

There is a TON of improvements we could make to Private Mentions (often called DMs on other platforms) e.g.
* getting them out of the public timeline
* Having a stronger notification tied to the Private Mention tab
* (amount other things)

But here is my MAIN question: How critical is it that these message are encrypted? I'm not against encryption! It's just complex and will take time. If we were to make some UX changes as a first pass WITHOUT encryption would you be OK with that (at least for now?)

If you MUST have encryption, that's fine, please do me the favor of replying explaining why you need it.

Is there a "professional" Mastodon client for high end users? I'm mostly looking for a tool that helps me sort notifications. When you get a few popular posts it's very hard to track everything.

What I like about the fediverse is that there could be a completely separate tool just for notifications

So many people helped me "finish" Hades II. As a small thank you, I've dug through the games audio files and curated 26 short clips of various sounds and voice clips. I like to use them for Notification sounds on my phone. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U87T02xFEUs7duyEJECdtxj5EK1eBXEU/view?usp=drive_link #hades2 @beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com @abetterjulie@wandering.shop

@wtrmt@mastodon.social @jochenwolters@mastodon.social "hiding the controls until the roll over presented them just-in-time" This is a common design theme even today and it has unintended consequences, i.e. I don't even TRY to hover/look because it looks like it can't do anything. It's basically using the "visual affordance" argument. You have to see it to know it's there.

@wtrmt@mastodon.social @jochenwolters@mastodon.social All good points! My initial goal was "dueling animations" one with motion, one with opacity. The goal was to focus on the detrimental aspects of motion. But now that the dust has settled, I'd agree with you and go even further: no animation, just show the full controls all the time.
