Hi Deb, 1. Is the proposed new page for mobile, desktop, or both?
2. Would the change affect the Apple and Android apps? 3. My personal first impression is that I like the new proposal. However, because it is a content/design change, it should go through a community RfC on Meta. My hunch is that it will be approved after about a month. Whether or not the change is approved, the discussion should provide some valuable feedback for future possibilities of that portal.
