i’m still mad

discord spent MONTHS making a new unique mobile UI that tried (and succeeded) being different from the desktop UI. i spent, like, half a year on the experimental UI, and i loved it, i even sent feedback, and that feedback was implemented.

and they just killed off my girl without warning. i guess somebody in charge of the new mobile ui team went “users are going to be mad about this, make it how it was”.

the whole point was that the original UI was highly desktop focused and didn’t fit mobile, plus the server view was my favourite part of it! and they killed it without warning, replacing it with the old server view!

i mean the new mobile UI overlooked a lot of things, ruining pins, creating new windows instead of swiping in panels, opening new pages when linking to a message instead of just jumping to the page properly (i got stuck in a server page nested in a private message page a couple times), and just generally being a crime against any sense of identity discord has. Aesthetically it felt too much like every other chatting app and I prefer the pre-update icons and stuff, but I suppose thats subjective.

youre telling me the latest update really reverted everything or whats going on? I cant tell because i downloaded an older version of discord and turned off auto update

they seemed to have added most things from the new mobile UI into the stable UI branch, redesigned a lot of the icons, stuff like that. but the main part that’s gone is the dock server view and i miss it.

i think i might be confused, whats the dock server view look like? i assumed you were talking about how it split servers from private messages

n.s.@reth12/8/2023, 3:05 AM

It still splits servers from DMs. the dock view was this new server view, where the list of channels was its own fullscreen thing, and the bottom of it had a dock with 4 recent servers + a button for the server list. i really liked it because it gave servers a feeling of being unique, of having more identity, instead of just being a quick channel switch list. back when discord tried to do emojis in channel names as icons, it absolutely sucked on desktop, but it was, in my opinion, really fitting on mobile.
