what did they do to the desktop post format

What are your thoughts on the Switch's UI? Because the recent system update made me realize just how bad it really is.

It's so boring, dude. Pure function, no style. Which I assume makes it very lightweight.

That's always been the thing. The Wii U and 3DS UI were "heavy." Like Smash Bros 3DS famously had to turn off a bunch of dashboard functionality, because the dashboard took up space in RAM that had to be allocated basically all the time. But Smash could put the system into a special mode that dropped down to a simplified dashboard UI so the game could have more space to store live game data.

And the Wii U was notorious for just how long its UI took to load up. At launch, you'd turn the console on and have to wait a full 20-30 seconds before the dash would come up, and another 20-30 seconds (or more!) before a game could boot up.

The Switch UI is designed in the opposite direction: spartan to a fault, so it takes of the absolute barest minimum of system resources. It loads instantly and does not impact games.

But it's so boring. You don't even get any color options besides light and dark. Surely supporting wallpapers and system colors isn't going to impact performance too much, right? And surely, if the Switch 2 has more head room, a few more customization options aren't going to hurt, are they?

Please, Nintendo?

Having loud thoughts again, but you know what would be an absolutely baller idea for tumblr's layout? Everything being a full widget system, especially on the dashboard. I'm just using this as an example, but the old UI for deviantart, dated as it is now by website standards visually, worked off a widget like system where you had so much control over how your profile page was displayed. Certain elements/boxes could be dragged and placed on your page and then adjusted via preset options or through a bit of light coding shenanigans. Imagine that, but with the tumblr dashboard. Instead of being stuck in just one format, you could drag your navigation bar to the left or right or if you don't like that you could pull it up top instead. Or you could have a widget on the side bar like xkit does for tag tracking, or trending tags or just not have any of that on the dashboard. Or how about a widget purely to keep track of recent mutuals that will take you directly to a full list in one click or a widget listing your current que ect ect. All of these being movable pieces yeah? The main point being the ability for a user to rearrange their dashboard to their liking for the best personal navigation with the least amount of clicks. I think the idea of drag and dropping UI elements is taken for granted on most current social media sites even though it's extremely intuitive once you understand it's a feature that exists and how clunky things feel when you don't have it or it's taken away. There's personal website builders that already use widgets pretty frequently, so why not extend that to bigger websites that rely on plenty of consistent user navigation daily? Like imagine updates that could be about adding in highly requested new widgets or adjusting functionality of current widgets to perform better based on user feedback. I am not a coder so I don't know how difficult it would be to implement a robust widget system for a large scale social media website, but it's been on my mind for years now with trying out all kinds of beta art sites before. I really think something like that would be worth the investment for a place like tumblr and potentially cut down on a lot of discontent over layout changes.

who could possibly think this is a good idea? what the hell is this. why do i have to play a guessing/memory game to use this app

[plasmalink]

Just a heads up, if you're sick of dashboard-unfucker being broken, someone made a new script to restore the old tumblr interface.

Should work about the same.

Hey what the fuck is this

Get this YouTube shit off my app

QUIT CHANGIN SHIT YOU'RE NOT TRENDY YOU'RE TUMBLR

[taikk0]

hi tumblr i'm back... thank you dashboard unfucker and fuck you twitter

[ashlynniis-bracketeers]

So, does anyone have a new unfucker for the dashboard?

Title. The dashboard unfucker no longer works and the "real" Tumblr UI is still complete and utter ass.

Laggy as shit, none of the element placements make any sense, everything keeps breaking, everything is too fucking small...

I hope whoever designed this UI and whoever thought this was a good idea to push through spontaneously combusts. Fuck this UI. If only the people I watch on Cohost actually used that site...

[taikeero-lecoredier]

No but seriously. Why is Tumblr staff so damn hostile toward their userbase ?

It was said that Tumblr is in the red regarding money,but then why arent they listening to feedback ?

Users would happily donate if they were actually listened to and their feedback and suggestions were taken into account.

So why? Why twitterify Tumblr since it just discourage users from spending more time on Tumblr and just further accelerate Tumblr's downfall?

Listening to users when they viscerally hate a new feature (such as the new twitter dashboard among other things) and rolling it back would be a win/win. People would see that youre listening and would be happy to throw a few bucks to support the site.

So yeah . This is another plea to roll back this counter productive dashboard change.
