Hi @schoenbaechler,

I noticed that the random article card has a language code on the card's header, does that mean the random article card should show per language?

For now, the current behavior of showing the randomizer card is:

1. Show the card every two days of the feed.
2. Only show the primary app language.

Thx @cooltey — the random article card can be shown every day in the user’s app language(s). Basically the same behavior as for the Featured article.

Still seeing the old designs in 2.7.50330-alpha-2020-09-11:

Thx @cooltey, comments from T261668#6461742 can be applied here as well.

Hi @schoenbaechler, the APK is the same as the one in T261668#6467563

@cooltey, looks good so far! 😍 Three comments:

01) The image, title, article description and text should have the exact same spacing as in the article, which is currently not the case. Here’s a direct comparison:

02) Is there a way to animate the journey from Explore feed view to Article view better? I’m glancing over to iOS, which handles the transition exceptionally well. I think it’s worth spending some time to explore this.

03) This is still existing:

• Letter spacing of the label is incorrect (there shouldn’t be one)
• Please check Zeplin for correct definitions

I've tried to apply the Android build-in transition library tool for the image, but it also produces some imperfections during the animation.

It would be great if we can have a new ticket for applying the transition animation to the image.

Almost there, but description and text are not 100% aligned with the article view yet. See image below:

Nice, this is fixed! 👍

Hi @schoenbaechler
Please see the screenshot below to see if it looks good to you.

Please note that the font-size and line-height are difficult to be exactly the same as the settings in the WebView.

This is art! 👨‍🎨

Yeah I remember our discussions about line-height on Android from a year ago. I also remember talking about the android:lineHeight property. You were mentioning, that it’s relatively new attribute and should be used with caution. Is it safe to use it now? If yes, we should create a Phab task apply it globally in the app? It’ll make designing and streamlining text in our app so much easier. What do you think? Thanks!

As we have spoken in the retro, it is a good idea to have a text style guideline, just like the theme guideline. (and it should be great if we have a ticket of it)

Perfect, thanks @cooltey 👏

Looks good on 2.7.50330-alpha-2020-09-14
