Hello,

Not saying any of this in a mean way. I know the developer would like feed back so I'm giving that a go.

To me, there's just so much going on display wise in the app it's confusing to navigate.

Anyone else feel similar?

Hey @BigBootyBarbarian , I really appreciate the feedback. There are 'Following' and 'My Clubs' links in the navigation bar and above the forums when logged in. Jump right into those to see all the content from areas you follow and clubs you joined. I'll also continue to look into ways to improve the experience, especially for new users.

While I look into alternative approaches, here are a few things you can do to tailor the experience to your preferences.

1. ⭐️ Following - Follow clubs, members, forums, and topics that you're interested in. There's a follow option for all content and content areas across the site. Topics you participate in are automatically followed. Think of this as your personal content feed that will continue to grow as you use the platform

2. 💖 My Clubs - As you join clubs, they'll populate your clubs page, which is where the more niche communities can be found.

3. 💬 Clubhouse / Chat is for public discussions. That's where we are, now.

Is there anything in particular that's making it difficult to navigate that you can share? I hope to see you around!

Yes, let me try to explain it more clearly

Right now, the layout feels like a condensed version of the website—almost like the web page was just shrunk down to fit into an app screen. It comes across as cluttered and a bit overwhelming, with a lot going on visually all at once. It’s hard to focus or know where to go next, and that makes the experience feel more confusing than it needs to be.

As a comparison, the Reddit mobile app might be a good reference point. Reddit takes a large amount of content and breaks it down into a clean, scrollable feed that’s easy to navigate. The design is minimalist, with clear buttons, streamlined menus, and consistent spacing. Each section has breathing room, and nothing feels crammed in. That level of visual simplicity really helps with usability and makes the app feel more polished and intuitive.

I think with a bit of restructuring and visual decluttering, your app could really shine. Maybe consider adopting a more mobile-native layout instead of mirroring the website directly.

Thanks for your work and looking forward to future updates.

Greatly appreciate you taking the time to go into detail. I'll eventually get this right and comments like this will help me get there. I rolled back the design to a previous layout that more closely resembles what you described. On mobile and desktop, you can quickly filter the forums you're interested in without navigating through multiple forums.

If you're willing to share your thoughts on the current design, I'll keep the rolled-back design the default for a bit so you can get a chance to give it a whirl. Thanks @BigBootyBarbarian !

Thank you so much for doing that I appreciate it! It does look better in comparison to the first layout.

I would say continue to simplify, simplify, simplify. The only thing's that should be in the users face, are the important things, not everything.

Minimalist is what you wanna go with. Less is more

Not a problem at all! And we definitely align here. 🤝
