The whole UI experience I prefer over Paragraphs, I've been trying to adjust to Paragraph but I just keep going back to Mirror 🥲 Would love some Farcaster integration 😉 or at least a mini app please!

Appreciate the feedback! Is there anything in particular you could point at from a UI perspective that you prefer more? Or is it more of a general feeling kind of thing? We’re really hoping to combine the best of Mirror with the best of Paragraph, so any feedback you have here, no matter how small, would be invaluable!

I'll do my best! If I were to compare the two I'd say Mirror just /feels/ simpler from the UI elements down to the settings options and overall workflow of creating an article or just exploring. Paragraph for me feels clunky and there's too many options that I'm not interested in when trying to do certain actions, when I go to the main page I'd prefer to see Inbox/Explore like Mirror has but in Paragraph its flipped (minor annoyance, but they add up). Also the Dashboard is confusing to me compared to Mirror's, it has 3 icons for options as opposed to just text like Mirror which also has 6 items to choose from. I feel like Mirror holds your hand and Paragraph leaves you guessing, Mirror even has a Support section where if Paragraph has one I couldn't find it. I should add that Paragraphs documentation is better in terms of UI but it doesn't even start you off with a `Get started` page or anything, where Mirror has paragraphs (pun intended) of getting started documentation! Hope that helps 🫡

Excellent feedback, thanks for sharing. Hoping to better understand this point: "Also the Dashboard is confusing to me compared to Mirror's, it has 3 icons for options as opposed to just text like Mirror which also has 6 items to choose from." Could you say a bit more about why you prefer the Mirror dashboard?

Thanks for listening 🥲 I will do my best! When creating an article on Mirror the page incrementally moves to the right, providing the feel of progression whereas Paragraph doesn't feel like it's progressing at all and I'm never sure where certain settings are or if there will be another page of options. I feel like I can intuitively find things with Mirror and I just hope to stumble upon things in Paragraph. Every page on Paragraph to me feels like its own standalone page and not connected to any larger system, whereas Mirror feels the opposite and blends very well together. For example the Account settings and Publication settings 🤔 very different UI and why are they also separated by page loads? Hopefully my insight helps and isn't rambling too much 🫡
