    JFK Bleach on my t-shirt

    May 11, 2015
    Capturing the essence of a message board on a mobile screen is insanely complicated and really hasn't been done before. Talkatalk tries, but is too bulky, slow, and most users don't use more than one Tapatalk forum. The SectionEighty App doesn't have to (and shouldn't be, at first) the full featured SectionEighty Web experience that we've come to love over the past few months. It should be a simple, modern, practical design. It should serve a purpose. Right now, that purpose should be SectionEighty "On-The-Go". The Leaks mod should be its own app. Don't overbuild.

    The main purposes of the SectionEighty App:
    • Notifications, both alerts and inbox
    • Viewing New Posts
    • Browsing individual forums
    Eventually I want the app to be many users' preference and/or only way they even visit SectionEighty. That's a lofty goal, and the only app I've seen succeed in doing so is Alien Blue, an iOS Reddit client. I actually browse Reddit the majority of the time on my phone, which is strange for a giant message board platform. I drew inspiration from Alien Blue, as well as a few other apps in this design, but maintained the SectionEighty look & feel (Warning: I use the light theme, a dark theme may be possible too).



    SectionEighty Mobile

    [​IMG]
    The main screen focuses on the feature thread, as well as giving the option for Viewing New Posts, search, settings, and the browsing the rest of the forum. This is very similar to Alien Blue's homescreen. The notification icon is the only permanent button in the top menu (the red dot means you have a new notification).

    [​IMG]
    Browsing individual forum, unread topics are bold.

    [​IMG]
    Viewing New Posts. This is where I'm hoping users will spend the most time in the app (picture it as Reddit's frontpage). Pull down to refresh similar to Twitter.


    [​IMG]
    Viewing a Thread. I have a few different versions of this, but this is the simplest and quickest to read. Tapping on a post will show Like, Repost, Quote, Report, and View Users options.

    [​IMG]
    The dots (...) in the top menu bring up a submenu allowing you to Reply, Watch Thread, or Ignore thread. There will also be a button to Reply when you reach the end of the thread.

    [​IMG]
    Notifications are accessed from the top menu at all times. Both alerts and private conversations are contained within this screen. You can switch between them by tapping on the submenu options. Unseen notifications/threads are bold. Push notifications are included.
    ​



    Keep in mind, there is so much more to design with this app, more than I can even predict. These are still rough designs and I'm not in love with all of it. Some were even thrown together this morning.

    Let me know what you guys think.

    Once was a hobby, now it's my career.

    Although this was a fun side project because wasn't being forced to do it. Felt like a hobby again.
