Overthinking on Subsurface mobile app UX

[Dirk Hohndel]

I personally think that this will look great and will play with it. I'm hoping to spend a good part of this 12h flight ahead of us asleep, but my guess is there will be enough awake-time to implement this idea.

Thanks again for the great information and especially the details about color values, etc. That makes it so much easier for me to try this.

I guess on the mobile app you cannot change font size except predefined
values like small/standard/large

This reminds me "quote" effect in email text but I'd much rather prefer to
stay consistent with proven standard mobile UX patterns.

It's a matter of personal taste of course but do you find these examples
unreadable?

On both the apps "month" text is #757575 gray bold and ribbon/strip
background is light gray #EEEEEE. Same color combination is used in other
apps so I guess it is a standard. I find it very readable on all my Android
devices.
