mastodon alternate user interface idea 

I'd like a mastodon that copies one thing from IRC clients: the username line.

So there's a line 1/4 of the way across the screen. On the left of the line, there are the usernames. on the right of the line, there's the posts' content.

This would take up much more horizontal space than the current columns, but would save a lot of vertical space and make some things easier to process.

@lizardsquid that's basically what the avatar is, tho
if you want to move the name around, you just need some CSS =3

re: mastodon alternate user interface idea 

@lizardsquid interesting thought 🤔 not difficult to implement, either

re: mastodon alternate user interface idea 

@lizardsquid what do you suggest be done with avatar icons with this format?

re: mastodon alternate user interface idea 

@InspectorCaracal I'm not sure, I was thinking that the avatar goes under the name, but I'm not sure that would look good.

re: mastodon alternate user interface idea 

@lizardsquid Yeah I had both thoughts. I'm gonna play with this!
