Thanks for listening your audience always :) BTW as mentioned yesterday (not sure you've seen that) I miss the nice blue casing we used to have before... Now regarding the notifications, I'm not sure my personal use is adapted:
- I tend to "up1" (I mean clicking on the wheel - the plus sign is verboten) often if I think it's a good post, I guess that's a light version of badge-ing and as far as I remember that counts as a "shared post"
- Saving an article means for me one that I reeeeeeeally and would love to find again later
- Following the comments is a bit of another league for me, maybe closer to "up1" ing though not necessarily "sharing", while I could also only "share" the "saved" items I really appreciate Am I hubskiing the wrong way around?
I share your sentiment. Saving a post doesn't necessarily mean I want to follow its comments, and vice versa. I think it would be better to have a separate "follow" function for posts and threads, but that could get quite cluttered. Ideally we should balance simplicity and ease of use with functionality, but I don't know precisely how.
Did it look blue? The background was #F0F0F0, and. the feed background was #FFFFFF. I think someone said it had a snowy feel. Anyone else miss it? (Or do you mean long ago?) I don't think you can hubski the wrong way. Yes, clicking the wheel shares, and saving does keep it for later. As scarp mentions, it's a goal to keep simplicity while enabling what people like to do. IMO it would be confusing to create an independent function that monitors activity on a post, -that's why I merged it with saved, and allowed you to turn it on or off. Therefore, you can either just save, or save and monitor. As most saved posts are old ones, I assume that this functionality will bring few notifications unless a user saves an active post. That's part of the reason why we were looking for a term that was better suited than 'saved'. It's definitely a tough balance. I don't want to keep function creep at a minimum. Ideally, I'd like Hubski to work well without much effort, but for those that want to tweak it, they should be able to get some extra functionality.BTW as mentioned yesterday (not sure you've seen that) I miss the nice blue casing we used to have before...
Am I hubskiing the wrong way around?
I understand and agree also with what scarp said. So I don't think this function would suit my usage but I can't complain. For some months and until a couple days, the controls on the left were clearly/nicely separated from the content by a kind of blue or grey casing. Anyway I'm not one to criticize any change, just saying I liked it better.
