New UI design for folders (iOS)

Hi users!

I am working on the next version of YACReader for iOS and I would like to share with you the first screenshot with the new UI design for the folders. Many of you have asked for folders showing a cover about what is it inside of them.

In the screenshot you can see how folders are going to be displayed. Three different kind of folders: folder with comics and folders inside, empty folders, and comics with only other folders inside (at the next level).

What do you think? Get involved!

EDIT: I have updated the post with a screenshot of the new UI design for the flow view.


EDIT:

Oohh! I've been waiting for this so long! I think it's perfect, I like it!
Thank you for your great work.

I think that looks great. Good mix of showcasing the titles and providing information with the tags.

I don't have any real input for the other views. I use the list view primarily and it's been working fine for me.


Thanks for the preview!

Bichin and InStim, Thank you for your feedback

I dig it. I really like the idea here. Thank you for your commitment to excellence! This will definitely provide a more stimulating view for all of our iOS retina screens!

Thanks zjDrummond. If everything goes well, the update should be ready in a couple of weeks

I did the update and I personally don't like it. I miss the Longbox effect with writing only. This new update looks cluttered.

i completely agree that the update is a step backward. Folders need to look different than single issues. How about a folder icon on the bottom half of the image?

I want to have the most part of the cover visible, so I think that the better solution is to add some kind of color distinction between folders and comics. I will also add an option in the settings view for disabling covers in folders.

I will update this topic when the new design will be ready. In the meantime any suggestion is really appreciated.

That's great, Luis. I'll certainly use that option. As for the color distinction, I think a thick black border would do the trick.
