Not sure where to post this so please move to correct forum if needed.

 

I installed the Neowin app today..

I have a couple of suggestions, it seems a little bit disjointed and jumbled.

I'll explain via the screenshots..

This Browse section, would it be possible for this to be renamed as Home? It would seem to be a nicer landing page.

This one seems a little cluttered, any way to streamline it to topic header as opposed to topic and post text?

Would it be possible to relocate this to a sort of 'activity' section within the relevant topic sub headers as suggested within the suggestion on the first image?

 

A USER based setting...

 

I can see the posts from users on my ignore list, could someone look into that?

 

All in all I like it, makes it a lot quicker to load up on my phone using chrome or FF.

Hopefully, the customisable notifications will be fine tuned to my preferences via my phone.

 

Anything else I can think of, I'll add as I go along..

I'm sure more savvy users will add some suggestions also.

 

 

Oh, also, it keeps asking for permission for my location settings, so I had to click no to get rid of that pop up..

Are you sure this is official? Who is the developer? I know that there is talk of an app becoming available, but I haven't heard about anything being released.

One of then has @Steven P. email address as the developer email

Really do you need all those permissions!?

Details appear as legit.

If in doubt, I'd wait for @Steven P. to confirm or deny

Website links go to neowin.net

some dev details direct towards tapatalk

You can deny permissions, besides, the only permission it asked from me was access to my location

This is the 'official' Neowin branded tapatalk app, it's still in testing, so expect there to be updates and changes. It's being developed by Tapatalk as a branded version of their usual app, so there are limits to what can be modified in response to feature requests etc - the dev team here don't have the ability to change it, it has to go through Tapatalk.

Can you give examples of what you can and can't change?

Thanks, but I'd rather give YOU the headache 

I was commanded to by @Redmak

:p

Is there any notice of this coming out on iOS or is it best to use the tap talk app? 

at a guess, it's on it's way

(I guess they're using android as a testing platform)

I hope there's some way to relay the feedback to tapatalk from here, as the home site dev team have an understanding of queries within the site, as opposed to contacting a third party app dev, and they respond with 'I don't know what you're talking about'

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.
    • It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
