4.Redesign Layout for posts with photos and webpages


Redesign the image in the feed, including the UX and UI of image posting and displaying.Improve the user's reading experience and align with the Chinese users' usage habits.At the same time, it is consistent with the entire feed user experience.

Improve screen efficiency ratio. More content is displayed in one screen, so users can read more information.

Background

  • The feed UI has been staying as the global style.

  • Zephyr feed's design is not friendly to Chinese users..

Design Posts with photos

This is the most common type of posts on Zephyr. The design goal of the improvement is to:

  • Display the full photo when there's only one

  • Reduce the size of single photo (so that users can see more than one post one the screen)

  • Simplify the layout for multiple photos (a by-product is that we saved lots of space thus other posts got more exposure)

The data results are positive:

+4.11% Homepage PV

+4.10% FUV

+8.39% SU Revenue




5.Feed font size and line spacing

We got some feedback from users that they felt our font size is small, and the content is crowded. So in order to solve these problems, we optimized font size and line spacing to make the feed more readable.

Previous:

  • The font size of the text, re-sharing and article title are all size 14, lacking hierarchy

  • And the line spacing is 100%, which is crowded








Redesign

On the basis of keeping consistent with the design guideline of the whole App, adjusting the font size and line spacing to improved the reading experience.

  • Font size: 16 points for the main text, 15 points for forwarding, the font size increases the primary and secondary layering of the reading experience;

  • Line spacing: increased to 140%, improving reading comfort;

  • Text transparency: 70% for text, comments, and forwarding; Card's title: 90%, highlighting the main content of the card through transparency;





Feedbacks from UER from 2020.9

"When I read feed,I found it become better than before, but I don't know the reason"—— Ms. Xu, 31-35
