I'll do some optimizing for different screen resolutions-- I expect it gets
really squished in the iPad's vertical orientation.
Large blips get cut down to one line, so as to view many blips at once. The
navigation view is a multi-tiered inbox, to easily scan for updated blips.
To see whole blips and get to the Wave Editor, I'll add a "View" button.
But what does it do? It could:
- Open Blips within the middle column. This is nice because you still
see a list of replies to the current blip on the right.
- Open Blips in a new Wave Editor view with the traditional threading
- This degrades the conceptual integrity of the Navigation view
somewhat
- Other suggestions welcome!
I'll check out wala-compiler later this week.
