I think Channels are misrepresented in the Consumption UX.
Channels shall be represented as the underground intelligence you can travel with through Warpcast.

Here's Concept UI by Me: Explore Channels/Scroll Feed.

Note: When you scroll Channels, the Feed overlay automatically minimizes. Similar for scrolling Feed.

Interesting. We tried a few variations like this internally and found it too much work.

I see that. Why do you think it was not worth it?

I sense it to be a sweet transition between median and power users as Channels take importance in Warpcast.

Only thing that matters is the avg. user default.

You mean the default or pinned channels that a user settles on frequenting?
