Yo!
We revamped the upvote/tipping UI partially.
We have a new upvote button and it works the same but changes its look based on how much you've tipped (huge ups to @kr for this design). How it works:
- an upvote gives you a half filled bolt
- the bolt fills fully after you've given the OP 10 sats
- the bolt then changes color, the more you tip
- as you tip more the bolt's color follows the rainbow: orange -> yellow -> green -> blue -> purple
- the color is determined by taking the log base 100,000 of the amount of sats you've given the OP, i.e. the bolt changes color a lot more at lower tip amounts and if you give the OP ~100,000 sats your bolt will finally be purple.
- Your own posts don't display the bolt next to them because you can't interact with them anyway. Plus, it gives you some visual indication of where your posts are.
That's pretty much it. I have another update I'll deploy in a couple days that will also alter the UX slightly and give the user some instruction around how tipping works.

@k00b It does not work on a recent stable Google Chrome for Android. 96.0.4664.45
When bolt is clicked second time, no input appears as it does in Linux (Google Chrome but desktop).

Thanks for reporting!
If you press and hold for ~1 second does it pop up?

Set the default tip to 1 sat. It was somewhat confusing wondering why 21 when clicking a second time.
Sane defaults it's a way better UX than telling the user to configure stuff before they use it and do math in their had of how much sats should they tip by default. Plus the whole feeling guilty about choosing a smaller number than 21.
Just set 1 as the standard and let your users have fun maniacally clicking away.

That’s the plan! Going to allow advanced users to still set a higher tip though

Nah, leave it at 100k. Keep it super rare.

100,000 is a very high bar.
IMO a lower it down to 1k or 10k.

Navbar: What’s the other number next to my handle mean? Example: let’s say it says 38 \ 211. I have 38 sats, but what does the 211 implicate?
