YouTube's New Mobile Sidebar UI Looks Ugly, so I Fixed It.
Yesterday I saw that YouTube's been testing out a new UI change for the mobile sidebar. I appreciate they're going back to the old-school compact look of the olden days, but they executed it in such a horrendous way that I had to step in to fix it.
**Issues with YouTube's Version:**
* Titles were only 2 rows long, cutting off most video titles. * Channel name, view count, and date all shared the same line of text. Caused them to be uneven and disorganized. * The channel profile picture was under the text and thumbnail, creating lots of negative and awkward space between videos. * Said awkward space barely allowed 4 videos to be on screen at once.
**Improvements I made with My Version:**
* Titles are now 3 rows long. Allows viewers to see more of what the video's about, even the entire title at times. * Channel name is on a different line of text from the view count and date. Creates a more uniform look. * Channel profile picture is directly left of the name and stats. Condensing the amount of space taken up and removing the extra space between videos. * Removal of said extra space allows for all 4 videos to be on screen at once, and even a 5th video can peek its way into view.
Let me know what you think! 1st photo is YouTube's version. 2nd photo is my edited version!
