The recent update re-arranged the buttons and put the comment/post time in the center of the view, which is a bit distracting/unbalanced IMO.

I re-arranged the buttons and made them in a darker grey than pure white (comment text), so the comment text is more in focus. I also removed the clock-icon as it is unnecessary IMO (it adds no value since the time is already clearly visible).

I would personally remove the buttons entirely and just keep the vote count and time at the top bar, but I can see that not everyone is a fan of minimalism UI. Maybe we can get that as an optional compact comment view.

(This is just a mockup, I am a designer but not a dev. I also submitted this via TestFlight feedback.)

    Thanks for the feedback, we are tinkering with the post layout a lot this week in anticipation of shipping to the AppStore. Lots of people have opinions on this.

    I think we are going to focus on more customization after 1.0.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    We’re still finalizing the post and comment layouts–the time alone in the middle was a funky choice that we’re definitely not sticking with. Buttons are going to stay primary because the user can interact with them, but we’re working on more customization options so you can only see the information you want.
