The tapas 'new look' poll

[thomassayle]

I liked the yellow....Least they could do is add a dark mode function.

Not having one is really dumb. I want to slap their UX guy.

I miss my banner because it was something that added personality to my series. It was something we could do to further set ourselves apart from one another. Now, all our pages are the same? Just a bunch of sterile, boring white. And it's just that: Boring(and harsh on the eyes). No lie, this looks just like SmackJeeves now. Which I guess looks just like Webtoons? And it's all ugly and dull and not why I moved to Tapas.

I get wanting your two sites(desktop and mobile) to line up with each other as far as features and updates go but maybe there's a disparity between user experience across the two because people on desktop have different needs than people on mobile? Our screens are bigger, we don't all have touchscreens, and often use keyboard and mouse...

So, no. I don't like this new look as a whole. There are SOME things I like. The comment section and the like feature being right there. But the dislikes outweigh the likes for now.

The staff picks for novels was moved to the front page of the novels section, I would like to see it on the front page of the actual site.

Honestly, any attention for novels on the front page is a win in my book. Otherwise. I'm ok with the site. 🤷‍♀️

[NickRowler]

It's fine, I guess. I still prefer the old design.
I hate how empty it seems, I feel like I am floating in a white limbo. I guess I liked how more compact the old site was.

I think programmers should know this of all people...
Do you really work on the code with a white background???? I think not... and that's because it's tiring to read after just a few seconds. Why would you give a white color to the bar menu??? My notifications are extra difficult to read too.

At least, give us the option of changing the background color. It's really upsetting -__-

[brusskel]

You changed ALL this junk and we don't even have dark mode. BEYOND disappointing.

Another thing that bugs me... with the old layout we were able to make an ongoing picture with the episode thumbnails... T_____T This was such a nice touch and I want that back...

[Awesomeness_Studios]

The more i look into this, the more it looks like WEBTOON

[daunadogg]

seriously! i stayed bc it looked fun and friendly. but now it looks and acts just like webtoons... i didn't join webtoons for years bc i didn't like how it was formatted.

[baasinsimple]

Us indie guys are gonna have an even tougher time than before, I see.

[joannekwan]

LOL same. I actually mentioned this in the google form feedback.

[brusskel]

Tapas? More like yellow webtoon.

[Possum]

I really love how immersive the reading experience is. But the homepage and how constricting it is will probably end up killing smaller creators (like myself) who struggle for viewership. Hopefully they can find a middleground!

[joannekwan]

It's not even yellow anymore.

[Possum]

I completely get that, I've had to resort to using a chrome addon that flips the page colour and makes it dark. Which of course, I'd rather not do because I don't really like Chrome eating my ram, in general.

[brusskel]

You right, you right.

[cleo_san]

Bye-bye corporate identity...

[Possum]

Actually crying at this!

[lunarsnow]

It looks like what they did to SmackJeeves. I hated that layout and it made a lot of creators leave the site because it was unfriendly to them. If this is as similar as it looks I think I'll have to move comic sites again
