@dansup Text is easier to figure out β new-to-online people might not know what the icons mean @dansup Why not offer an option? That way the user can decide. π @dansup personally I like the text. The text option seems like it has bigger touch targets. The icons don't seem to be from the same design language which is definitely part of why I'm not looking the icon option as much @dansup I think the text looks better, although if you go with icons, the reply button should be pointing to the left. @dansup I use text + icon for the main actions. Icons can be used elsewhere in the UI, to go next to number of shares for example. I design for schools and find that icons alone are often misunderstood (and ignored as a result) π€ͺ @dansup Both, but also please right align them so theyβre consistently positioned on each comment |
@dansup I always prefer icons in this case. Just add a hover-text if it's not clear by users. Or indeed a more (...) button, with text again if users get lost in the icons.
