I was fed up with all the inconsistent changes on X/Twitter, so I tried to redesign some of it.
Hope you enjoy!

I did all I could…
you did all you could and you succeeded

@@RacksCDQshe won't marry you mate. 😊
Has any company actually adopted any of your redesigns? I've seen so many cool designs you have created and if just one company would adopt half of them it would be a massive improvement.
BIG BEEP BOOP SIGNAL RECIEVED!
The reddit-like thread comments and replies have been integrated into TH-cam!
X is a really useful in terms of showing people what happens when you fire all your designers.
does anyone work at twitter like actually
"xvid- i mean media" got me lol😭
was boutta comment that lmao
I burster out laughing after that 🤣
"If you post a video on X, doesn't that make it an XVideo?"
That summaries how bad Twitter's name change was tbh
i did NOT notice that until i read this comment
The further social media websites move away from the myspace philosophy of customizing everything, the more flavorless they will become.
You should try SpaceHey if you haven't already, it's basically MySpace but actually still alive and not just a music industry social platform
so true. There is spacehey which I really like
@@Serizon_ bitview, escargot/nina, blips (same devs as bitview), etc
Does myspace even exist anymore?
@@MinecraftCaptin spacehey is like a remastered verson of myspace
very first step should be to bring back the bird 🐦
I never really loved Twitter, but as a design nerd oh boy, was that design well implemented. Such an amazing design gone to waste really hurts.
LET IT GO
@@BrentonWoods774Shut up, nerd
@@BrentonWoods774 ??
yeah! the new name just sounds like a placeholder
Literally the most cringe rebranding ever.
Twitter -> X.
No creativity, no greater meaning .
This video was a breath of fresh air.
Twitter rebranding be like:
body {
background-color: #000000 !important;
}
button {
background-color: #ffffff !important;
color: #000000 !important;
}
😭
I love at 2:26 where they have "X black: #000000" and "X white: #FFFFFF." Literally just taking pure black and pure white and slapping your name on it so it's branded now.
LMAOO
there she is with another banger redesign. twitter needs this RIGHT NOW
No. It needs to be bankrupted.
Best redesign of my personal Twitter: Delete Account
the saddest part about these is that not a single thing will come true because every social media is targeted towards earning money and ruining the user interface and experience 💔
except for Bluesky or the fediverse
@@xansurnamehere ignorant of you to think that. they just jumped into a hole and will sell out the moment they have the opportunity.
Would LOVE to see your approach to Bluesky!!! There isn’t a ton of history there so you could do whatever you wanted! Let’s make it the magical, cozy place Twitter use to be!
Since BS is more open, there is already a few FE apps with different layouts.
@ sure but would still love to see her approach.
careful girl musk's ego might get hurt :'(
Musk is very open to criticism.
big oof
@@SenZii What...
If he watch this he will probably hire her
@animaisengracados7484 you mean take her checkmark away...
you can tell elon doesn't understand the importance of design when he said, "turns you don't need a lot of people to run twitter" post lay offs
The car might still function but it'll get rusty without maintenance
No shit he doesn't. If he understood the importance of design then the Cybertruck would actually be a functioning car rather than a tasteless shit stain that can't even car correctly. Elon isn't a genius, he's an idiot who uses money to make himself seem bigger since his penis is so small
X just now changed the Premium icon image. I think X noticed this video. Great work.
Yeah lol, idk if it's a coincidence or not, but it's cool either way.
i saw this change a week ago, predates this video
the amount of research you do on these is amazing! also, hilarious that "trying to help" turns into surgically flaming their design choices.
You can try to help and recognize bad work at the same time
The only channel who I'd honestly want to have an online course and doesn't have one 💀 my life needs this redesign.
Twitter has worst UI. If you have dms open and you scroll the timeline by clicking on the for you tab, the dm also scrolls along with the timeline.
it also has the worst algorith as well, the "not interested" button works more like "show me this exact post everytime i open the app" for me. and when you check some guy's account, any single thing he's related into gets recommended
soooo what do we think?
@@juxtopposed Twitter/X can’t be saved, because it’s owned by Elon Musk, anyways.
filters filters...
I really like the filters: "posts", "likes", "replies", "quotes", "follows", "mentions", etc.
agree with you entirely
I see everyone talking about filters, can't blame them honestly
The first step would be to divest the company and take it away from the hands of that man. And then rebrand it back to Twitter. I have the Piko mod of the app on Android and its so much better than the official version. Brings back most of Twitter's UI and features, and cleans all of the clutter.
I swear I looked for this video yesterday and I was like "damn, hope she makes it one day" and then here it is!!!!!!
Twitter as a brand was so cool , since he wanted to build an everything app , they could've just kept it as a section inside of the x app , like instead of the home icon they can have the twitter bird icon and that way they can still call tweets "tweets" , they could've also added the Vine icon as the video section and call them vines , and then they can add other new services like the ai thing all inside one app , instead they branded everything with an x .
When Elon took over twitter, there was this 1 logo design circulating where the twitter bird had its wings open so it looked like an X. Literally their "X rebrand" was right f there for free and they just went and broke everything anyway lmao
Also, the vid was good as always! I'm only not sure if that desaturated blue accent would work for a social media app tho. I guess it's similar to Discord's hue, but then again Discord also uses bright red for pings and such, so it looks more welcoming.
Not as impressive as your other redesigns but still an upgrade over the current design
for this platform to take its first step in the right direction they should get rid of a certain somebody first. the downgrading UI is very secondary in that sense since it's not the actual problem, it's a leadership problem.
Fire the Roman Salute Man
I just quit twitter after the rebranding.
the world would be such a beautiful place if your redesigns were actually implemented 😭
I was actually waiting for the overall overview you'd usually do at the end of the video to show the new designs. But hey, it's looking nice still!
Your videos are so concise and to the point! And funny reaction pictures sprinkled here and there with a beautiful voice are the cherry on top!
Can you redesign Mastodon next? Love that it’s decentralized but it’s UI is not that good 😢
step 1: undo everything elon musk did to the branding
edit: and everything else he did too
including what he's doing to the US treasury 🙏
The Control Panel for Twitter browser extension allows you to bring back some of the stuff X removed, as well as hiding a lot of the useless stuff you don't want.
I love that app so much. It’s perfect!
Turned it off by accident one day and I honestly don’t know how people deal without it or even focus with so much on screen.
02:05 twitter: meta tags are a standard now basically, itd take many many years to revert this since many libraries and websites use this standard, so this is here to stay as a relic probably forever, the back-end code is probably the same, theres no point in changing the backend naming just because of a rebrand, same for this
If they don't do the change imagine a Gen Alpha Developer in 15 years adding metadata, "Wth is Twitter?"
For the low amount of effort it takes to accept "X" as an alias on their backend, it is worth it, and it empowers their branding.
Finally! The time has come!
Another video from Juxtopposed!
Our UIs are saved once again
8:11 oh wowie thats me on the 2nd pfp in the likes notif
love that if you scroll through your timeline far enough it will stop loading your tweets. so if you retweeted without quoting or didn’t add text, it won’t show up in search, therefore it’s completely lost
The gap on the left side is MASSIVE. There must've been a LOW budget for the design team for them to TAPER the column so oddly. They couldn't even be bothered to FADE the separating bar between it and the tweets.
the gap is still massive
Well elon fired most people, reduced pay, increased hours and most people who werent fired got simply better deals elsewhere
So only those who realllly need the job were left and several overworked
No wonder its so bad
There's no design team, remember that. They don't care about this, they only care about Elon Musk propaganda machine
The worst problem are posts that are long that require you to click "more" to see the rest of the post, instead of showing more text below it loads a new page.
That sounds painful, glad I don't use Twitter
I never used Twitter that much, but I did have an account. As soon as it turned into X, I deleted my account and never looked back at it again
Omg I didn't expect to see my own Tweet in the video lol
I pretty much agree with you and love all of the changes you proposed for it. Another thing to note is the now-abandoned Mac app Twitter had, I think that one had the best UI & UX. It was clean, consistent and I love that some stuff opened up in a new pop-up window, like composing a Tweet or viewing and image. Just allowing the iPad app to run on Mac was a huge downgrade and also cut off people still using Intel Macs.
Would have loved a twist that argued to leave twitter entirely for racist/elon reasons and pushed for another federated platform, that does not fall victim to the hunt for engagement
Can you redesign the app's owner too?
I deleted my account recently and moved over to Bluesky. Might be interesting to do that redesign considering it is fairly new and similar to old Twitter. Appreciat the video.
I love how soft and kind your voice sounds, it is so cute and sounds so excited and jumpy, it seems like you're very happy presenting the video to us 🥰❤
Your voice and the images and videos appearing make the video so didactic and easy to understand, hehe :3
Sometimes I need to pause the video because there's a lot of information on the images you put on it xD, and also jokes
I love this video, and I loved the redesign ❤
08:18:
This is the problem with modern social media websites, all types of notifications are grouped together in the same menu
Back in the day people weren't so famous on the Internet, they didn't have millions of followers on social media, so it was quite easy to manage notifications
But now, people are so famous that I feel for them when they need to look through their notifications, it must give them a lot of anxiety...
Seeing those big numbers on their apps and notifications...
Categories and filters for notifications would be very good on all modern social media websites
Imagine having to pass through a lot of like notifications when you only want to find a reply notification you missed or find out who reposted your posts
I suffer a lot in Wattpad trying to find a specific type of notification...
Please show me social media websites where you can filter notifications into categories...
Oh, wait! There is one, Threads! You can filter your notifications by followers, replies, mentions, quotes (citations), reposts, and verified
With Twitter and Threads, those types of actions seem very confusing, I mean, what's the difference between a reply, mention, quote, and repost?
Well, you reply to a post that already exists, and you mention the handle of someone on a post you create (action on your post)
You also quote (reference) a post inside your own post and add your opinion and point of view about that topic, and repost a post when you like it
But there are a lot of actions to do, hehe, at least the places you need to click to do those actions are well-separated
About notifications and bad UI/UX... I was watching the video while making this comment on desktop, and I clicked on the notifications button on TH-cam
I was going to see if there are notification filters for desktop, but there's no filter, only on mobile (they focus on mobile first, then forget desktop users)
So I clicked on the gear (settings) button to see if the filters were hidden, but then the video closed and I was on the settings page
I lost my entire comment and got so frustrated that I had to start it again... 😔
TH-cam wants to keep people on the platform, watching videos and ads, and seeing ads on the corners of the platform
It blocks links like Twitch or other rival websites from being put in the description of the videos
And blocks people from sending links inside the comments section (gets caught in the spam filter)
If it does things to keep people on the platform, why doesn't it let us enjoy our content without interruptions?
On mobile you get those ad pop-ups and banners covering the title, description, and comment section of the video
If you were watching a video and writing a comment at the same time on mobile, and an ad appeared, it probably closed the comment section
And the comment section is so hidden from mobile users, that you have to click on it to access
But on computer we just scroll down, and there's 80% of screen space being covered by the comment section, which is good, engagement right?
And there's the video screen so TH-cam can recommend more videos in the center point of the page which is frequently in theater mode
TH-cam on desktop also doesn't care too much about comments it seems, they don't show that pop-up saying "Don't close this tab, you might lose some work" like they do on trying to close TH-cam Music while a song is playing
I know a lot of people accidentally click on another video or link on TH-cam when they're writing a comment, and get frustrated when they have to write it all over again
Like me, who likes to write a lot, hehe
TH-cam should say something like "Leaving the video already? Why don't you finish your comment to [TH-camr name]?"
Just like it does when it pauses the video and says "Is there anyone watching?" when you haven't interacted with TH-cam for some time
I've been watching you for few months, i love your voice and the style of creating videos, lovely and informative
Your video makes me wonder if I could really use this good UI in those apps.
OMG, these cats are next-level aweeesome! Could you drop all the image links you used? 😂🐱
The showcase bar is really a nice touch ❤
No amount of glitter will make dung look good
Oh, here she again! now I can't look at X the same way I struggles to do now.
Hey wanted to tell you that TH-cam Implemented your youtube reply thread Design.
Which you did in the youtube redesign video at 7:30
You should also redesign the MS Team, Reddit
Never heard Helvetica pronounced like that
The redesign is insane as usual :)
2:42 this is the first time i've heard 'Helvetica' pronounced that way
Same. It's def not pronounced like that, but interesting pronunciation!
I want that you redesign all the internet, the concepts are so good
It still needs a lot of changes but these are good to start. I think you should do another part for X
You need to showcase full redesing on the end of the video like u used to
You only scratched the surface of redesigning Twitter (of course your inputs already would make it much better)
The left side menu is still too crowded, the settings menu as well. Some resizing on the profile would be nice as well.
As for the comments, I guess something like Reddit would be the best but here responds have more info so I do understand it being trickier to make it look clean
Currently coding a X alternative so this was great.
I remember the title being "I redesigned Twitter/X" but this one is alot better
I love using the Twitter Control Panel extension cuz it lets you do all the customization you want + brings back old twitter branding over this nasty X branding.
so twitter doesnt actually have any money coming in, and elon musk is trying to make it profitable, despite all his efforts to ruin the platform, so the development teams is basically a skeleton crew
Apparently it recently became profitable.

@@dshoopy571 And I've recently been voted the most desireable man in the world
@@dshoopy571 sure, buddy
Who in the Twitter team thought rebranding a very well-established entity into a suspicious alphabet was a good idea? Like what's the first thing you think of after hearing "X"?
Btw really like the thread idea. It's atrocious right now.
3:52 Rotate that logo and you'll have a starry X!
every social media platform has their own charm until things like "for you" recommendations happen, then it's all about engagement and business. i always get bothered when people say 'X' instead of twitter because a single letter can't have the same message as a word that contains more than 3 letters
Damn, being a designer at x (if there are any there) must be a nightmare.
You might just be my favorite creator on TH-cam at this point
1:43 I didn't know that, thanks
using twitter in 2025 without something like twitter control panel is an absolute fucking nightmare. these are such great ideas that would make the experience at least a little more bearable
It looks and feels like someone just fired their entire design team in the beginning and o... ohhh.. yep checks out. Great redesign!
05:10 dang you got me there!
"X"'s design is ridiculous. Very much like its owner. At least they're consistent on that.
this is such a read, I LOVE IT 😂
You literally solved ALL my problems with X. One by one! Loved it!
3:59 woah woah woah... Calm down sis. 😜😂
Gonna miss you whoever matched my emojis was
I mean listen, the dude came in with the sink and ripped a bunch of cables out to see whats gonna happen... lets just say we're not dealing with the most competent owner here.
I kinda wanna see how you'd redesign or improve Bluesky's interface, since it's a social network that's still evolving. Its UI design is pretty similar to Twitter/X, so I'd like to see a more original and intuitive interface design for Bluesky involving its decentralized, open source networking and advanced customization for power users and users that wanna learn more of its technical aspects, but still be able to retain that familiar and user-friendly space, so it doesn't feel overwhelming to newcomers.
not even this could make me use twitter
Could you do some open-source software like GIMP? FOSS usually has really bad UX. Someone might see your video and actually implment your suggestions.
I appreciate the lengths you went with this, but we need to let Twitter die.
New video idea: I redesigned elon musk
Gosh, we have the exact same problem here in Russia w/ VK (apart from rebranding, that never happened luckily). What once was a comfy little silly social media for everyone, now tries to be everything but a social media: having its own video, games, business (why), music (that's the only good one), Tik-Tok, Insta and EVEN DISCORD "REPLACEMENT" platforms. It lacks focus and charm.
So sad to see the same thing happening to Twitter
I wish this redesign was official, very good video!
Unfortunately the app doesnt even work right now, i cant even read a tweet without the feed refreshing automatically, resulting in me losing what i was reading forever.
This redesign is really great, but Larry the bird still lives in my heart.😔
Twitter could be the best designed platform ever and I still wouldn't use that fascist propaganda machine.
MORE PEAK FROM THE GOAT. THEY JUST DONT MISS, THEY DONT MISS🗣️🗣️🗣️
Love your channel sooooo much! I am an early subscriber and I am proud to see you grow and succeed more
As a daily user of Twitter, I would pay MONEY to use your version of Twitter
Omg literally everything mentioned in this video has been a pet peeve of mine when using twitter lmao
🗣️ YOU REALLY BLAZIN YOUR GLORY WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥
They should change their default accent colour to either white or black depending on whether you are in light or dark mode.
one thing that I really hate is that we can't search on our liked posts and instead have to scroll forever to find the post we need
Amazing job as usual
me watching this video even though i havent been on twitter in what feels like a year.
Black & red would be sick
If I’ll have a social media one day, first thing I will do is hire you
my juicer got some spotlight in a Juxtopposed video
It would be cool if the button to reply took you to the reply screen instead of you having to click around the post to see all the replies, and at the bottom of your phone, you see a bar where you can write your comment/reply. I also think it would be cool that for on the desktop version there was an option to see all the posts in a grid, or see them like you were on your phone normally (one post stacked on top of the other) or it being a stretched version of the stacked one where it covers the entirety of the monitor.

Lets not ignore the “Watch Next” at the very end. Why are you masterful at design?
