@mayel @ivan Love the circles/boundaries stuff! 🤘

Might be my lack of understanding, but I'm assuming that by defining a 'circle' I'm adding a group of people to a list.

This is different to creating a 'boundary' where I'm defining permissions of the people in that list in relation to my posts.

Is that right? At the moment, I feel like the circle/boundary language could be clearer?

here an attempt of an improved UI for boundaries, the main outcomes are:

Reduce the permissions list toshow only the relevant ones for each activity type (eg. see / read / like / boost / mention / reply / edit (future one) / delete (future one) ...)
Default the permissions to be the same for all the users/circles involved
Let the user expand each verb to customise the permissions for the users involved (fig.3)
replace the 3 icons that shows the permission states (can / undefined / cannot) with a more standard 3-toggle state

a simpler boundary screen to go through permissions

permission customised for different users

ah the img previews are displaied in the wrong order, the fig.3 is displaied as the first one (the flow should be from the last image to the first)

@dajbelshaw @bonfire I am also somewhat confused. I can add multiple people and circles to a boundary? I am not sure if I am supposed to use boundaries at sets of circles and people (a boundary for all I might want to share photos with) or if boundaries are more to specify groups that have certain permissions or abilities (can view not boost my posts).

@bonfire @Supernova Yeah, I think that 'boundary' is a confusing name (in terms of UX, at least) as opposed to 'circle' 😆

@dajbelshaw @bonfire @Supernova interesting, tough creating a circle and assing permissions to them are 2 separated actions (and happens in different times and page)

Your suggestion is to merge them together?
