Crowns2004yLooks really good!
Maybe you could add a color option for the kind of notification (comments green, ++ red or whatever) instead of using the avatar background as an optional setting to spot the kind of notification in the 'all' tab. -
@Crowns thanks for the idea! I will think about color-coding and preferences soon, but first I want to finish all of the features and then I’ll get into user preferences. I am not going to skip that, lol
-
@r20408e122449d can you elaborate? Maybe I can fix it soon! Spacing and stuff is actually a thing that I want to focus on a lot because I want to completely finalize the things that are not going to actually be user-changeable. So, speak up — what is it that’s annoying you? LOL
-
@r20408e122449d alright, a few things:
1. THE TITLE IS NOT MOVABLE: this is the navigation bar title label given by Apple and unintended modifications cannot survive for long between iOS updates, as they can completely change the make-up of the title. The title must stay as it is.
2. THE SEGMENTED PICKER IS SCROLLABLE: the entire thing does not fit inside a single screen. Ever. So I must make it scroll to the right and left (you want the left offset of that to be uniform with the left offset of the user images?) -
@r20408e122449d ohhh, that’s a good suggestion. Thank you! I will try to make this a thing.
-
@r20408e122449d thing is, I reverse-engineered, implemented, found quirks AND made the frontend myself. This is my most complicated and lengthy project since I started learning programming! I am already very impressed with myself that I actually made a usable replacement to a professionally-written app.

I think scrollable segmented control is not a good idea.
It probably conflicts with the default pan gesture and imho, scrollable tab pickers are bad generally. Android makes often use of it but you won’t find them in any default ios app.
I’d suggest to use something else instead. Maybe groups and two levels of sections? Or a simple popover 'dropdown' style sheet? Or working with icons instead of text and displaying text only for the selected tab. -
@Lensflare you’re late, I made it fit without the s c r o l l. check my latest post, it actually looks way better.
-
@OmerFlame I just looked at your other post :)
Honestly I didn’t know that each segment could have a different width with standard segmented control.
But I still think that you will run into problems fitting it on smaller device screens like iPhone SE1.
