Threads has a cool web version

November 15, 2023

I decided to go to the web version of Threads , but did not expect to see anything new - “Subscribe!”, buttons and menus, more buttons, an important switch, and a lot of important legal information.

But I’m shocked, honestly!

Threads: feed
Home screen. Feed.
Threads: profile
Profile
Threads: creating a message
Creating a message
Here, for comparison, is what I see when I go to the X (Twitter) web interface.

Twitter: main screen
Everything is here at once: creating a message (otherwise I might go somewhere), a feed, recommendations, a menu (so you don’t miss), messages, a call to subscribe, legal information (so you don’t get bored).

Unfortunately, I think that it won’t be this good for long and soon designers will start adding more and more of everything. Now minimalism supports the main function of Threads - it allows you to read and write - design in the user’s world. I can see how quickly Meta will spoil it.
