Hey do we think these buttons should change places? 🤔 Because 1. “Cast now” is primary action 2. “Undo” is secondary 3. Hand position and where people (most likely) want to tap to cast is where “Undo” lives

From a pure design standpoint I agree! I don’t love anchoring to Twitter or any app as the reason for not changing it. It smells like “that’s the way it’s always been done” dysfunction. All that said, it feels like a small battle because after a few days of casting I’m already getting used to it

I’m a lefty so I really like the positioning since a lot of my interaction goes from left to right

I hear @dwr's design rationale for it. Dan's rationale makes total sense (negative transfer from twitter). I think there are other design rationales I could come up with to justify this positioning as well. AND/YET After a few days sitting with it, with as open a mind as I can muster, it still feel's wrong to me.

There’s an update where it moves up, but muscle memory from Twitter power users is going to outweigh doing it the right way.

because i see the cast button on top of my screen, even on the next screen the button should stay on top, first of all and second of all, remove this whole thing 🔪

There's also clustering in space of two opposing actions ("do it" and "don't do it") where there is no competing elements for that screen space, so an opportunity to seperate them strongly (left ← → right).

One counter design rationale is that "left == back" (see "← Conversation" for example). So "Undo" is a Back action. To break that convention in the current app (Warpcast) in favor a wrong headed convention in another app (X) you might argue introduces higher cognitive dissonance to DAUs.

↑ (Also, @dwr's a design genius, so I say this only as design thinking counterpoint)
