I'm experimenting with new profile layouts in the new Pixelfed app.

Which one do you prefer?

(current, alt 1, alt 2)

@dansup can there be more than one link on a profile? Then the first layout might suite it better.

@dansup "current" is the only one that gives proper space to the bio link, so I would go with that since its quite important to not try to cram it in a line with other things

@dansup @pixelfed In image two, if you’re going to move the profile pic centrally, might as well do the same with the bio text?

@dansup The current seems more 'traditional', but easier to immediately understand because of it.

P’undrak :emacs: :archlinux:

@dansup I’d say a mix of current and alt 1: Don’t move the profile picture, keep it as current, but have things a bit more compact as in alt 1.
Alt 2 is too compact for my taste.

@dansup current or alt 1

Alt 2 looks a bit too stuffed IMO.

@dansup Option 2. I like the single line for posts and stuff with links. If the photo is centered maybe a name centered would look good?

@dansup I find alt 2 or current really nice

CaptainMalu

@dansup Alt1 with the bio link design of current

Antoine :neocat_hug_fox:

@dansup alt2 is less focused on followers figures. I’d pick this one

@dansup 2, I love it plus I think it adds personality to the app

@dansup I think alt 2 takes to much away from the profile, which is not good on the profile page.
I personally prefer the user icon on the left, at the same time alt 1 is the best IMO. Its a good use of space to but all the things there in one row. People have pointed out that the bio link is more important, maybe moving it to the same row as the name and putting it on the left side works?

Also how do remote profiles look?

@dansup Alternative 1 would be awesome! 😎

Simon

@dansup I like that alt2 is space efficient but I think current looks the nicest

Pura Variedad

@dansup alt 1 have more leeway in case you have long strings on translation and it is easier to read from left to right ❤️❤️❤️

@dansup I like the second one. Not sure if I want to see the same layout as in Instagram, to be honest.

@dansup alt 2,
With a new line in case of more links in bio.

Having the photos up higher is better, and less emphasis on follow counts is good too.

Harald

@dansup alt 2 since it deemphasizes the numbers

Jordan

@dansup @pixelfed Alt 2. Easily scannable, portfolio is higher up making the photos more important

BoxingPreacher

@dansup I like the current one or alt 2. They all look great!

@dansup @pixelfed Alt 2 is definitely interesting and would set Pixelfed apart from other social media services, but it's a bit cluttered currently. So I'd be comfortable both with alt 1 and an uncluttered version of alt 2. :)

@dansup
Stick with current. Alt 1 doesn't take enough advantage of the available space for each section and Alt 2, even if compact, could be problematic for profile links.

solitarywalker

@dansup Alt 2. Easy call as it’s the most compact. I don’t think the Unfollow button needs to be so large though, it’s like you’re trying to encourage that action.

𝕂aleb

@dansup alt 2!

I really like how Alt 2 minimizes the following/followers stats

fraencko

@dansup current, but no. of posts should be a couple of pixels more to the top and with increased line-height of bio.

As someone who is a bit farsighted I always increase font size on OS level, please also consider enough room around for elements to "grow". 🙂
