Dev.to's new UI 🔥

I gotta say, I'm loving the new UI - What do everybody else think about it? 🙂🤔

Can someone summarise what's changed? Unfortunately, I'm visiting DEV less often than I'd like to, so I see it's definitely become a bit cleaner, but can't remember how it was. Actually, this is my first comment ever on DEV.

Nothing super major in terms of functionality but a lot of UI adjustments around the edges. It’s more polished and cohesive, we hope.

I'm also wondering now why posts have a different "heart" icon to comments, and the "pulse" effect is only on posts. Since it's probably extra work to make them behave differently, it was probably a deliberate decision to keep them distinct. But I wonder why?

I think I'd like a toggle for comment preview on posts, unless that's already a thing

Not a feature yet, but it's on the radar.

I got github's new UI update and when I refreshed dev.to I was confused after seeing dev.to's new UI immediately.

I just noticed it today. I like the design changes. It was subtle enough that I didn't really even notice it until I went to heart a post and fully looked at the new layouts. Still, I think the changes look really good.

Someone mentioned the "pulse" effect on another thread and I couldn't see it. Works for me now, and I like it.

The left side bar seems way bigger

We changed the proportions of the layout. The previous layout was.. umm... a bit random and we used to have lots of issues with it especially around responsiveness). Actions bar (like, unicorn, bookmark) was outside of actual layout (kinda on the left from DEV's logo).

So we updated it. I'm sure it feels strange but give it a day or two :)
