Notes
Responsiveness [large]
- The horizontal and vertical lines should continue the full width and height of the screen at all times.
- In medium screens, the nav icons should be right alined at all times.
- Design shows a width
900px
. But if the viewport was950px
icons should be aligned to the right and not the left.
- Design shows a width
Search
- The entire bounding area of the text input should be
clickable
- Clicking anywhere outside of the search input or search dropdown should deactivate / close the search.
- The five most recent search terms (for the device) should be displayed when the search is initially activated.
- The user can clear device search history by clicking
Clear History
- As the user starts to type, the dropdown should show
Predictive Search Terms
andSuggested Results
. Note thatSuggest results
should favour channels / groups etc that the user either is subscribed to, or as visited before. e.g. If I searchRami
, I should seeRami Albatal
before any other Rami out there. - On Desktop, the user should be able to navigate through the dropdown by using up/down arrow keys. Pressing enter should jump to the selected item.
- Search input note: please disable
autocomplete
autocorrect
autocapitalize
andspellcheck
Notifications
- Need to distinguish between
Seen
andUnseen
notifications. - Notifications should be grouped together. If a single post received 100 up-votes, we should not display 100 individual notification. Rather we should display them as a single notification. e.g.
Michael and 99 others liked “My first post”
. - A notification should be marked as seen, simply by activating the notification dropdown. In this case
- A red dot, with
unseen notification count
should display when there are any unseen notifications. - If seen/unseen state should be persisted centrally, so between devices (e.g. web and mobile) the state of seen and unseen notifications are consistent.

Links for the new, high-level design across dark & light modes, and all three screen sizes too.
Note: some work to be done on the 'Composer Modal', so consider that a WIP. Questions, feedback etc welcome.

FYI: Web high level designs (nav) packaged-up. Links and any design notes include within the original comment.
We should do a quick run-through just to confirm / sign-off on the above, before getting handed over to the devs.
The equivalent for mobile app is incoming, will land before the COB.

I would use the channel avatar for the channel icon and put it on top or bottom. More personal. Also, I like the home icon better than newspaper but won't get bent out of shape about it. Overall looks great.

This was the design card that got broken down into the individual cards. I'll reopen this to make sure we got everything tracked.
