Network Screens
[ User | Network | Friends | Post ]
This screen is intended to be a graphical representation of your network! Ideally, it'll show all nodes you're connected to and have some way to display what the type of connection is (as indicated by the radius above). A search would bring you to the node of the username you searched, likely via dropdown selection. Nodes can be zoomed in on to view the most recent post, and the eye icon can be selected to visit the expanded user view, while view post can be pushed to visit expanded post view. One can navigate to Post View using the top bar, see below.
Ideally, this would be drawn consistently each time, so users could memorize the "shape" of their network, and use the screen for faster navigation.
NOTE: While I like this screen conceptually, it's probably the most "noodley" of everything we have planned. If anything is going to be cut from the app before release, this screen is my top candidate.
This screen is your more standard, traditional view of all posts on your phone, a la Twitter. Posts are sorted chronologically and can be pressed to "focus" on, bringing users to the expanded post view. Search in this context may incorporate text matching to include not only usernames but post content as well. As above, eye icons and usernames can be pushed to visit the expanded user view. Functionally, very similar to Network View, but less graphic and more sorted. One can navigate to Network View using the top bar, see above.
This screen features a mockup example of a conversation of nodes in their own 'Hub' and how other nodes can reply, like, and respond to be a part of the conversation!
