feat(ios): StreamView visual polish — five Lidwell principles applied#4
Conversation
Read DESIGN_PRINCIPLES.md, audited StreamView against the Universal Principles book, landed five evidence-backed changes. Each cites principle + page so future readers can verify the reasoning, not just the output. 1. Product name + price overlay on the 3D spin card Proximity (p160): product info belongs WITH the product image, not next to the BUY CTA. Hierarchy (p104): without a visible name, the screen has no top-level identity of what's being sold. Rendered bottom-left of the white card, only when productData.name exists. 2. BUY CTA — saturated warm orange, 56pt minHeight, accent glow Von Restorff (p204): the single action-critical element should visibly differ from neighbors (green LIVE pill + white spin card + dark shell). Fitts' Law (p82): larger bottom-edge target = easier one-thumb reach on a 6.7" screen. Disabled opacity lifted 0.5 → 0.7 so the button stays visually present even without a buy_url set. 3. Drop-shadows under avatar + 3D spin cards Top-Down Lighting Bias (p196): shadows below read as raised → focused → where the eye lands. Matched radii/offsets across both cards so they feel like one layer lifted above the chrome. 4. Comments panel 38% → 28% height Hierarchy (p104) + 80/20 Rule (p12): avatar is the pitch; comments are secondary to the seller's viewer role. Reclaimed ~10% of vertical for the hero. 5. LIVE green dot — pulse animation Visibility (p202) + Operant Conditioning (p144): motion reinforces state. A soft 0.9s easeInOut scale+opacity cycle signals "actually live" — we learned this association from Instagram/TikTok/Twitch. Build: BUILD SUCCEEDED, zero warnings on iPhone 17 Pro simulator. Out of scope (did not ship): - Shop-style product header strip (requires more copy design) - Empty-state character illustrations (scope creep) - Dynamic Type support (accessibility follow-up) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
