Thanks for your work. Some comments: - I find this proposal not revolutionary enough. It's too much like before IMO and only marginally better. I'd love to see a proposal from you starting from a blank slate… ;) - I think it's hard to see the different areas visually. - It looks crowded in general, even more with the new vertical columns. I think we need a bit less information on the home page and better L&F, especially for the Activity Stream.
