Loop interior · tab organization · v2
Not just re-grouping the same four boxes — different models for what the tabs even are. Two facts still hold (Spread & List are one job; there's no place to talk), but these push past “merge & rename” into more opinionated territory.
Today: Loop · Spread · List · Wall — a static tab per feature.
The home tab isn't a static invite — it transforms across the event's life. The same tab is a countdown & to-do before, a live feed during, and a recap after. Tabs stay tiny.
Best when — you want Loop to feel alive and time-aware, not a brochure that looks the same in July as it does the morning after. The most distinctive move here.
One switch flips the whole interior between two states of a gathering: getting ready, and the thing itself.
Best when — you want the least furniture possible. Two modes map to the two things a group is ever doing: preparing, or being there.
Name tabs after what you do, not what they store. “Share” quietly unifies chat + the wall — solving the no-conversation gap without a fourth tab.
Best when — you want warmth and clarity. Every tab is a human action, and there are only three.
The bar adapts to your role. Guests get the simplest possible thing; hosts get the controls — nobody carries clutter they don't need.
Best when — hosts do the heavy lifting and guests should never feel the machinery. Pairs beautifully with the Bento “Hub” design.
My pick: “Now” (01) is the one worth building — it's the only proposal that makes the interior feel like it's about this gathering right now, not a generic form. It also composes with everything else: Now can wear the Bento/Deck design and any theme, and “Bring”/“Share” can absorb the chat gap. Try the live demo, then tell me to run with it (or blend it with 02–04).
