@pixelfed first thing I noticed is it seems to use more of the available space and the feed options are nice and available now

@pixelfed Not sure why you switched. There was nothing wrong with the old UI. Now we gotta get used to something new. Don't add features for the sake of it.

@pixelfed I've updated Pixey with the latest code, how does one enable this? :blobcatgiggle:​:pixelfed:​

@stux Add `EXP_SPA=true` to .env and re-deploy!

@pixelfed I prefer the old UI after all. The old one looks like a photo sharing site. Timelines look like photo streams with some info/navigation elements attached. UI allows you to focus on the photos. This is a purpose-oriented design. The new one looks like a soapbox-fe clone, like a general purpose social network where photos are just little attachments, extras to other content. Compare the attached screenshots, you can hardly see this photo in the new UI.

@pixelfed This UI update is nice but posts in feed look like they are from a Facebook-like app and don't fit Pixelfed's concept. That should be updated to look more like the old UI with polishes in my opinion.

@pixelfed I've got a couple complaints, specifically for mobile

So many links lead back to the non-2.0 UI, it's practically a land mineI have to use it in the browser because the PWA shows the 1.0 UINotifications at the bottom completely disappearThe top nav bar is wayyy too big

Looks cool but very unfinished. As expected of a beta, ig

@pixelfed where do we lodge feedback? If here, then:
- the pale grey against white is barely legible, and looks as though all the options are disabled, it wasn't until I clicked on "Create New" that I realised it worked
- viewing a single image is hard work, rather than just click on it, you have to find the three dots, click, find "View Post" and select it.
- the individual image view (eg pixelfed.social/i/web/post/383) no longer shows the date or time an image was posted, just the baby-fied "2d ago"
