The filters are a to-die-for feature! I'd want that. As of the moment I'm using something from Tampermonkey that can add some filters but all it does is grey out some posts. It will be nice  to see more intuitive and in-depth filter options. Something that functions properly, like those in shopping websites. Where you are provided multiple filtering options that you can choose to use in any combination possible.

Having an option to change the number of columns in your feed will help those with larger resolution screens. 

If you can add in color options that will be nice too. I've seen some websites that allow people to switch layouts and colors freely with 2-5 options available for them.

Post view is a pain when you make graphics - you have to make sure to make it less than 670 or so pixels to make sure they won't reduce the size of your photos and graphics. The uniformity is appreciated though, since I know definitely that all people will see the same thing I'm seeing. But I'm sure we can add other things into a screen's real estate without cluttering it. The post view will not look so much barren/boring if you'd add a background image or a colored background (that users can set themselves probably), and just add in a content box for the post itself. If there's extra spaces on the sides then automatically show up a sidebar (which users have the option of setting up on their own as well).

Just some of my thoughts.

I would like to suggest one additional feature - Hide the post when Upvote by anti-spam bot - cheetah, blacklist-a.

Those are interesting observations, and suggestions.  I think that with the recent update, less posts fit onto one page for us to view and we need to scroll more.  I too find this a little less accommodating than the previous format.

We'll find the format that works, we just need to try more things out and tweak it all.

my hope is that we will see some kind api theming studio either as part of condenser or a library that can interface with the blockchain easily. i started looking at the open source react version of connecting to steem and i much prefer that over this current version of condenser for sure.

You covered mostly all of what we need  and  @deveerei did some useful additions  too. Just emphasizing here on my IPad the old UI gave me a view of 10 posts at a time, the new one gives me two which is a degrade in my opinion. Good to see we can make suggestions, hopefully they get looked into

It's absolutely critical that there is at least a prelim solution to this problem within the next month or so. I agree that curators need a better way to take advantage of more screen real estate - I feel that's a no-brainer. 

More controversial, in my opinion, is what form the filtering options should take. Depending on what form shakes out, it could end up *really* making life different for authors. So I'm anxious that these options give authors more exposure in general, not punish them for not using on of a couple in demand topics. 

Totally resteemed. This is a community discussion that needs to happen before too many more UI changes are implemented.

Having a sophisticated filtering option is absolutely necessary so curators can find what they are looking for easily.

I agree on everything you said here, there's lots of white space that can be utilized and post itself condensed so it does not take so much vertical and horizontal space. 

I like the dual paned feed idea, that could be a life saver. Although there should be an option for viewing author's whole profile as well, cause I rarely take a look at just a single post without glancing at history.

Hey @liberosist, 

I think that the look is "cleaner" because of that white space, and may be a good appeal  to new users coming into the platform. I'd be entertained to see dual panel as well, be a lot easier to browse. I thought I was just super slow at scrolling through posts, but it's a good thing to point out in the comparison to reddit. 

I browse TIL quite a bit and the layout "feels" a lot smoother than where steemit is currently.

Thank you for making this post @liberosist. I absolutely do not like the new UI. I had no big issue with old UI, I loved it. 

First of all, why not give users an option to go to old UI with a "classic" link? So many major sites have done that when they made major changes to UI. Why break something that has worked fine? 

It seems to me new UI is targeting easy changes for multiple size device supports. But I should say I have used old UI only multiple phones, tablets, pc and mac. It worked just fine on all of them. 

Top line with username, etc should be at the bottom. I think a title should always be at the top. Title tells the most about the post. username, rep, category, time, resteemed, etc they all should be at the bottom before the upvote, resteem, etc line. 

I don't think there is a need for sidebars to be visible by default. They should be collapsed, and only accessable upon need. That can give more real estate for more info on the post and/or more condensed view. 

Toggle view is good, but if it doesn't give a more condensed view or two-pane layout, I don't see much use for it. As many have mentioned already, we would like to be able to see as many posts as possible.

Filtering option would absolutely be great.

The double paneled view would be useful when curating posts. However simply being able to view more posts on the page would be beneficial as well. There is a lot of scrolling required currently, and anyone who curates knows how much time the process takes. Anything that could improve the rate upon which posts could be viewed would be a useful addition. So I am in favor of both or either of your suggestions.

As for filtering, at the barest minimum we should have the ability to concurrently view a subset of tags at the same time. Curating multiple tags is a chore, especially considering the overlap of content. Being able to bring them all together at once would save a lot of time as well.

Thanks again for putting this list together. I agree with most of your annotated suggestions (e.g. the presentation of reputation, smaller images etc.). 

I also agree with you that post titles shouldn't take up multiple lines. Within this update, I actually placed some CSS that limits titles to 1 line using a CSS property called 'line-clamp'. Although this property is supported on Chrome, Safari and Opera, it's not supported on Firefox or IE yet http://caniuse.com/#search=-webkit-line-clamp 

Filters would be fantastic. Dual panel feel is interesting idea–for it work well and feel snappy, we'll have to keep improving performance.

Anyway, let me follow up with you when we start designing this out.

Another question for the curators: 
How much curation do you do on mobile vs desktop?

Everything that everyone has said here is incredibly crucial, and I know a lot of us 3rd party devs have built stuff on top of Steemit just for it to be usable for curation, etc.

I do have a suggestion about content saving, and sessions which I believe should be also incredibly important as far as reliability of service goes:

A much improved content saving cataloging system: Right now if a post does not go through (due to a transaction error / connection errors), sometimes it might save in the session so when you click back on post some/most of it might still be there, However if you click on post again (say from another browser tab) the content can disappear as a new post-session has been generated. So my suggestion would be to have an actual front-end 'pseudo-perma store' of posts, which can either be saved as a cookie or some other method of JS-storage, such that if you write a post and decide to leave it for a bit (or crashes/connection issues occur), it will/can saved as a 'draft', these drafts can be cataloged client-side and will allow the user to select from their drafts when they write a post again (hence saving the posts/comments and not being destroyed). This would obviously drastically reduce the impact of server instability / client issues in terms of people writing posts/comments.

Introducing Filters is absolutely must , far down the line i think  curation will become a tonne easier , which would reduce the whole concepts value i guess.
What do you think people ?

I'd also find it extremely useful to have a view specifically for trying to curate photographs. This would probably only work when there is a single image in a post but I guess the first image could be shown in a larger thumbnail or maybe show posts in a grid format in this mode. Steepshot does a pretty good job of this, but that kind of view would be awesome if it was integrated into Steemit itself. I do see a future for the use of Steemit for professional and fine art photographers but it is currently really, really hard to separate the wheat from the chaff (and then you also have the issue of photo ownership and plagiarism, but that's a whole different ball game)
