istg every Discord redesign is a literal regression
I really don't understand why Discord got it right ONCE and then from that moment regressed severely
First they got rid of tabs v2 and the Messages tab, but at least they left a workaround where double clicking on the servers tab would move you to DMs
This design is so useless in many ways who the fuck even approved that???
Instead of a navigation bar you have a name plate visible at all times, it's so horrible in terms of UX and I'm not even an UX designer!
- pressing this ANYWHERE except the on the tiny Notifications button on the right opens your profile - something you DON'T need or want to frequently access
- the original tabs v2 design was PERFECT - it allowed you to move between the most relevant things you WANTED to access - servers, DMs, notifications and your profile / settings / everything else
I really wonder what decisions and ideas were thrown around while designing that, because if you ask yourself "what the user will want to accomplish here?" you will literally always land at something similar to the tabs v2 design.
