As an experienced user(12h now) of the new user interface user interface I feel very impressed. Essential functions seem to run smoothly and there were a few important features added that we were missing with the old one.
One of them is the notifications part. Using Threads with the old UI was pretty much going back and forth with a front-end such as Ecency that has a notification system. Not only the new UI is showing notifications, but it's also displaying replies and votes occurring elsewhere on Hive. How cool is that?
Here the blue ones are done on maybe PeakD and the orangeish one on Threads.
Another feature I was missing is the preview window. Since it's all in the past now I can admit I was always feeling a bit unsure about posting, especially when posting pictures. Always had that feeling it's not gonna show up on the actual post.
Of course, there are still features missing but they will be added in the future. What I really like to congratulate the team on is that they added, in my opinion, the most essential parts first, and most importantly - they seem to be working really smoothly.
I'm actually a bit surprised I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches yet but surely there will be some and that's totally understandable with a freshly launched product.
My Future Wishlist
One thing I'm missing is the amount of LeoPower left but that's no biggie and I'm sure it will be added soon. Another thing I was thinking about is how cool it would be if we could have a list of our own next to Trending tags, or it could be toggled for example. I'm not quite sure if I remember reading about this kinda feature. Let me know in the comments if you have better knowledge!
Also, I noticed a Bookmarks tap on the left which is under construction at the moment but perhaps we will be able to add tags there in the future?
All in all, a great launch and was really worth waiting for. Even though I have been pretty active on Threads before, I think my activity will only increase from here. I mean, just look at the appearance of the UI! Looks so inviting.
LPUD
In other news, it's the #LPUD - Leo Power Up Day and I have just powered up a nice, round amount of 200 LEO. With this, my Leo power is now 921 and I'm still behind my monthly goal but I'm sure things will speed up during the Spring.
One of the best things about powering up a bigger amount is the feeling afterward when you do some upvoting and notice your increased voting power - knowing that you'll be earning more LEO just by liking content.
I'm keeping it short this time and saving my analysis for the monthly review of my Leo goals. For those of my friends who are reading this and aren't active on Threads, I really encourage you to check it out. It's so much fun and now more user-friendly with the new interface!
Thank you for reading!

Man, seriously Top Notch UI.
Happy LPUD and let's enjoy threading on alpha open and wait for it to Go mainstream.
You got that right mate!
Happy LPUD!
Man, the blue-ish and orange-ish notification is pretty sleek. They over delivered on that one!
Happy LPUD! Things are always getting better.
Thanks! Happy LPUD to you too!
Yeah, guys have done a really good job. I don't know how to explain it but there's something really annoying in the color combos of Twitter, how it looks like. Threads is much, much more pleasant for the eye.
Indeed. The aesthetics is top notch!
