The recent update re-arranged the buttons and put the comment/post time in the center of the view, which is a bit distracting/unbalanced IMO.

I re-arranged the buttons and made them in a darker grey than pure white (comment text), so the comment text is more in focus. I also removed the clock-icon as it is unnecessary IMO (it adds no value since the time is already clearly visible).

I would personally remove the buttons entirely and just keep the vote count and time at the top bar, but I can see that not everyone is a fan of minimalism UI. Maybe we can get that as an optional compact comment view.

(This is just a mockup, I am a designer but not a dev. I also submitted this via TestFlight feedback.)

Push it as an issue on their GitHub. 👍

Just tag it as an enhancement!

Thanks for the feedback, we are tinkering with the post layout a lot this week in anticipation of shipping to the AppStore. Lots of people have opinions on this.

I think we are going to focus on more customization after 1.0.

Thanks for the feedback!

We're still finalizing the post and comment layouts--the time alone in the middle was a funky choice that we're definitely not sticking with. Buttons are going to stay primary because the user can interact with them, but we're working on more customization options so you can only see the information you want.

I agree this suggested layout is a lot better than the current TestFlight build

FAQ

When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
