The main issue is that I can no longer see if there were new comments on recent posts (both mine and for other users), which were previously indicated by the comment counts displayed in green, including for the shortform post (there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to find it at all now).
I liked the list of draft posts at the top, it’s a regular reminder to keep thinking about them. The “top posts” selection that takes up the whole first screen doesn’t help when it’s my own posts. It’s plausibly a good thing for posts by other users, though I personally don’t get the appeal of a huge section of the page whose only meaningful content is a post title that could just take up a single line (and leave space to fit more data about other relevant things on the screen, including more of the other posts). So some issues seem to be about different needs for your own userpage vs. userpages for other users.

Yeah, I think this is sad, and I want to do something to restore that functionality. Not fully sure how to best do it, but my guess is we’ll figure out something.

I am hoping to generally destroy the abstraction of the “shortform post” soon. It’s super confusing to tons of users, and also the post is very ugly. I do think as part of that I’ll add some better UI for seeing new comments on shortform posts (somehow, I haven’t figured out a good thing there yet), but I am quite confident we don’t want to have the shortform post abomination as a user-visible thing in the long run.
