Okay, I gave it a solid six hour test drive. There's a lot to like, but I gotta abe honest I'm still not loving it. I don't like that the nav bar is permanently stickied to the bottom, and I can't find a way to move it. Even on the android beta mode, I don't like that the icons are still iPhone themed, and I wish the color theming was more pronounced. I also wish you could re-tap to blur NSFW like you can in connect/thunder/eternity (probably my favorite feature in social scrolling apps). I do like that you can block communities with a long press but in my short testing I found it to be buggy - sometimes it works and sometimes it just vibrates but nothing happens - and I wish it was just an option in the three dots menu instead.

Despite the gripes, it is very slick though and I can see why people like it. I really like the sync-esque (though much less aggressive) use of negative space between posts, and the layout has a nice subtly to it that I think looks much nicer than Connect, on par with eternity. I'll be the first to admit that of the major apps Ive used (Thunder, Connect, Jerboa, Voyager, Eternity, sync) Connect's post layout is bottom three, but in terms of ease of use, quick navigation, and feature density it's my favorite, which is why I prefer it. I also like that in voyager, some lesser used options are a little shrunk/out of the way (like post sorting). It can be harder to find at first but options you won't touch often should be less pronounced IMO, and voyager does that really well. I didn't get any push notifications so I can't weigh on on how well that stuff works. Also the icon choices are FUCKING SWEET. I legit might steal one to use on my homepage.

I'm also waiting for boost! Really hoping they haven't abandoned ship on it, feels like they might've given up. That last UI update for boost before the shutoff was SO DOPE, and it always was my favorite Reddit App. Honestly I think I like connect because it's the most like boost. Nowhere near as polished, but almost every UI/interactive option is in the same spot or executed the same as it was on boost, so it feels the most intuitive to me.

Return all that shit, sell your keyboard, and buy one with USB instead.

For those that don't want to see it the way I've been describing it to people is that his body is going forward while his knee and everything below it takes a very hard right.

I didn't like iPhone layout and UI which was the only option during the initial release, and never went back to it. I heard they added an android skin from another user but I haven't found time to try it yet.

He's also the legit coolest looking dude in the league and his self deprecation is second to none

Well that's why I shouldn't comment while trying to go to sleep then, isn't it?

Oh I see. Okay then yes this is unpopular - people got sick of rounded backs because you can't use them flat, they wobble.

I have no fucking idea what anyone in this thread is talking about. The iPhone has and has always had rounded corners. Fucking everyone phone has round corners. The only phones I can even think of that didn't have rounded corners were a Windows phone from like a decade ago and the LG V30 that nobody bought.

What are they talking about anyone know?

Yes. Kevin Durant tore his Achilles and didn't even realize it until he finished sprinting down the court. Rodgers didn't seem to realize it until he tried to stand up. Probably has to do with adrenaline but lots of athletes seem to tear it and not realizes right away, whereas an ACL or hamstring people seem to notice immediately.

Man, it seems like an Achilles tear is the meanest injury. Like so many times athletes don't even notice it happens, then they go to do something totally normal (like get up after a routine hit/sack) and then realize they can't. Like most the time I've seen them they're not even in pain they just straight up cant use their leg correctly.

Fuckin sucks man.

You should really change your wipers more. The blades crack and become ineffective with age even if unused. Maybe not every year but every couple years!
