Good luck everyone!

lowkey hating the new Eclipse, did dA literally just copy Weasyl?

There's such a lack of visual hierarchy, with graphic elements constantly fighting for attention that it actually hurts to look at. The colours of dark mode and light mode are too dark or too bright, with text that is too heavily contrasting against their respective backgrounds (not to mention I can't tell what's a link and what's just bolded text since they look exactly the same).

The gallery section is difficult to navigate, especially the folders; there's not enough padding around each deviation to separate them, so they feel like they're too clumped together as one giant wall of images. Actually, there isn't enough padding or clear separation of a lot of graphical elements like comments, deviation descriptions, and even titles. And when you click on deviations to enlarge them, there's actually a scroll bar in the lightbox itself LMAO

The notifications center is ok if you ungroup everything, otherwise it's a huge mess like what Tumblr did to their notifications. Archiving and mass selecting notifications is nice, though.

whoops I ranted a bit, but I'm not impressed with what dA came out with. They broke or flat out ignored so many UX/UI design fundamentals that I can't bring myself to use Eclipse right now unless some changes are made, mainly the dark/light mode colours because OW MY FUCKING EYES

I just got an email saying that an anonymous user gifted me another month of core, thank you!! Anon, if you're reading this you totally didn't have to do that and I never expect to be given things, but I appreciate it all the same

My core membership is going to end in a couple days, but it was nice being able to browse without ads and having access to a bunch of my deviation stats

Thank you again to Phoenaxis who randomly gifted me one month of core! It was fun to have while it lasted c:
