On android mobile, large screen phone (samsung note) ... tab bars are difficult to use. It also forces the room messages to become narrow - requiring more scrolling to see messages (smooth scrolling is hardware dependent).

The 'feel' of the app has completely changed. (In my opinion not positive). And at least for now, the mobile user gets no new feature with this, and just penalty.

Can we detect mobile and bring back the old ui for mobile only?

We will.. not exactly the old... but something more along those lines.

What about doing something like this (please, forgive the roughness, I hacked these out in Chrome's dev tools):

That tab bar is hidden behind a ...:

Once you hit that, the tabs expand across the top, sliding the channel name and burger out of the way:

(The buttons could probably have s similar style to the tabs, I didn't want to bother with recreating that. Additionally, imagine a nice animation sliding everything out of the way.)

Then, the tab buttons work exactly like the current tab bar, except from the top.

[geekgonecrazy]

ah! I think @leefaus actually proposed something just like this.

What about the cases where there are more then can fit across the top?

[Morgul]

@geekgonecrazy You can scroll the top bar left/right. I've seen several apps do that.

[engelgabriel]

@Morgul that's aligned with what I have imagined.

[geekgonecrazy]

Would it have tabs when wide and that when small? Or is that too inconsistent?

[Morgul]

@geekgonecrazy That's what I'm imagining. Nice responsive UI. :)

@Morgul 👍 swipe left and right to change tabs with underscore selected tab indicator ... certainly a trending Ui concept

[Morgul]

Yeah, that sounds great. Let's do that. ;)
