If you use Micro.blog on the web, you may notice the layout has changed slightly. These kind of design updates are my favorite. Just a little better, not throwing everything out in a way that would be jarring.

@manton great changes, a real improvement! I love it! I'm still wondering about the "Replies" placement.. would be better to put them close to the "Timeline" / "Mention" or under "Posts", before "Pages"?

@manton Nice! I love continual refinements like this too, very much underrated. Unsure if related to this change, but the layout of profiles when signed out appear to be broken.

@manton Nice! It looks good as a separate app as well.

@jmanes Oops, you're right. I did make a change for dark mode but looks like it wasn't rolled out properly. Fixing now.

@numericcitizen @jarrod It's a good question. Replies doesn't perfectly belong anywhere. I didn't want it in the main 4 "social" grouping (Timeline, Mentions) because it seems confusing to have it next to Mentions. And it doesn't totally fit in the "blog" grouping either (Posts, Pages). So it goes in the "other" group at the end for now.

@manton @numericcitizen @jarrod The Replies can go below Posts or even after Pages, right? Coz that page is basically to edit or delete replies, and that's what you do with Posts and Pages, too.

@bix @paulrobertlloyd Same thing. It's when you aren't signed in that the layout is broken.

@manton I see this post as an excellent example of how useful re-posts can be. Not everyone follows you, and this is information that deserves to be shared among the #Microblog community. Unfortunately, it's not possible to help do it.

@manton on remove Replies section, and in the Mentions section, provide a filtering view: Replies | Mentions only ?

@numericcitizen Doesn't feel quite right either because Replies is what you wrote, Mentions are from others. But maybe with some UI tweaking we could make it work.

@pratik @numericcitizen @jarrod Replies are definitely the most similar to Posts, I agree with that.
