I like the new light-grey background. It looks nicer aesthetically to me. I didn’t notice any eyestrain before but now that you mention it I do notice some with the solid white background.
This isn’t new, but it’s been a while since I’ve been logged out. Looking at the screenshots in this post, I’ve been reminded that the logged out page has some images at the top. It strikes me as noticeably more aesthetically pleasing when there are some pictures at the top. I don’t mean to imply that there should be pictures at the top, just that seeing them looks a little nicer to me.
I really like the tooltip when you hover over “Recommendations”. I guess it’s no big deal, but it feels cool to know what it’s actually doing.
I actually never noticed “Show tag filters” on the current site. I guess I’m just so used to coming to LessWrong that there’s a sort of “muscle memory” where I do my thing and don’t notice things that aren’t part of my routine, if that makes sense. Now that I notice the tags they seem cool and I’m excited to use them. I really like that it could be weighted instead of binary. I feel like I probably wouldn’t use them if they were binary because, for example, I don’t want to ignore all AI posts, so hiding those posts would be too strong an action for me.
This sounds small as I type it out but actually is pretty annoying. When I scroll down, there’s a ton of tooltips that pop up and get in the way. I guess the only difference are the tooltips for the tags, but maybe that’s an important difference. 1) The tooltip when you hover over a post isn’t too bothersome to me because it’s located far enough to the right where I can still read other post titles, so it isn’t really getting in the way. But the ones for the tags do get in the way a lot. 2) The current tooltips are still a little overwhelming though, so maybe adding more just kinda puts things over the edge in a sense. (I know I said I liked the one for the “Recommendations”, which might be contradictory, but I’m trying to give more of a stream of consciousness type of feedback.)
Bugs:
When I click “Show full sidebar” I get a “Error: TypeError: p is nul” error.
Tooltips overlap each other sometimes.
Clicking the “+” to add a tag filter doesn’t work.
Clicking the “+” to add a tag filter doesn’t work.
This surprises me a bit – what OS/browser/setup are you using? Clicking the button should pop up a little widget where you type in a new tag, with a dropdown menu of selections as you type.
I’m on a 2017 Macbook Pro using macOS 10.15.5. Initially I was on Firefox. On Chrome and Safari I get a “Error: TypeError: Cannot read property ‘viewUnreviewedComments’ of null” error instead. In all three cases the error appears in red text on the screen in place of “Show full sidebar”.
Sorry, misread your comment. I just figured out the issue I’m having with the Add Tag button. It’s that the middle of it is clickable but the surrounding area is not. Ie the <a> tag is clickable but the surrounding <span> is not.

Thanks! Great feedback.

oh, I meant specifically for the Add Tag + button (I assumed you meant to the top-right of the Latest section)

Oh! That makes sense, will fix that. (Also I think this is true for all tags and seems unnecessarily confusing, thanks for the heads up)
Sure thing.
