The complaint most raised with New Twitter is the font size, users requested the company to offer the ability to view the text in small size, Twitter today announced a “smaller text size option” is now available in display settings, the company said they also fixed the spacing issues.
You have not asked Twitter to redesign its layout, the company built twitter.com from scratch by using new technologies for its web app to load faster, fully responsive and customizable. The new version also brought bookmarks, Lights out theme, account switching and much more.
If you don’t know, Twitter redesigned the layout of the website based on React-platform where the company uses the same code on twitter.com, mobile.twitter.cow, Twitter lite and Twitter for Windows. The new twitter.com launched in July 2019 didn’t like by most, users relied on extensions to go back to old twitter, the extensions spoof user agent in Chrome and Firefox browsers for that.
While these workarounds may stop working at any time, Twitter team considering user feedback on the new design and started fixing them, the sizing and spacing updates released today are part of that.
Twitter said it fixed an issue where composer moves when new tweets get loaded, TwitterEng handle says “now when you are at the top of timeline it (composer) won’t eave the top as tweets arrive.”
Based on feedback received from users twitter promises they’re working on to bring controls to scrolling timeline.
