Overview
I would like to propose adding an interactive user profile image feature to Voyager for Lemmy, enhancing the user experience when viewing other users' profiles.
Detailed Functionality
-
Tappable Profile Image Section
- When users tap on a username and navigate to the profile page, add a dedicated section for the profile image.
- This section should be prominently displayed and easily accessible.
-
Expandable Image View
- Implement a feature allowing users to click/tap on the profile image to expand it to a larger view.
- The expanded view should occupy a significant portion of the screen for better visibility.
-
Mobile Zoom Functionality
- On mobile devices, enable pinch-to-zoom functionality for the expanded profile image.
- This allows users to examine profile pictures in greater detail.
-
Desktop Zoom Controls
- For desktop users, add a dedicated zoom control bar.
- Include buttons or a slider for zooming in and out of the profile image.
User Experience Benefits
- Improved user engagement with profile content
- Enhanced ability to view and appreciate user avatars and profile pictures
- Consistent functionality across mobile and desktop platforms
Implementation Considerations
- Ensure smooth transitions when expanding/collapsing images
- Optimize image loading to maintain performance
- Consider privacy settings that might affect image visibility
I personally believe that this feature would significantly enhance user interaction and personalization within the Voyager for Lemmy platform.
Perhaps something like this:
