Resuscitating this idea for a desktop “home” page from my Okuna/Openbook archives with update for an Openspace iteration. Currently, on iOS desktop, the home feed is floating on a white background and navigating to other areas of the platform (like profile, joined communities, etc.) entails clicking through to a new page. This new configuration, accessible via the header navigation bar, puts access to more features at the user’s fingertips. It would span full width on smaller monitors, laptops and iPads, and would cut down on the vacuum of white space currently hogging large monitor real-estate. Many of the elements of this design are already in place on the user profile page 👶 such as the top nav bar, landscape header, avatar and static bio. On the right is the scrollable feed of user posts. The updated “home” page 🏠 would contain on the left hand side, 2 additional panes under the bio: a static pane with clickable links that shows the communities 🫧 the user has joined; and the customizable “Pinned Post” 📌 that has been requested in Canny. These 3 panes (bio, communities, and pinned) would remain in a fixed position. To the right is the “home” feed which continues to be scrollable. Icons for filters, settings and the + ⭕️ for creating a new post are at the top of the feed for easy access. The configuration is one that many users are already familiar with - here’s hoping that it is implementable on this platform.
