The main menu interface of the Mailer app. View the attachment for bigger size.
To view the main menu, you have to swipe down from the top bar (“Mailer” + “compose” icon). The menu with all the options unfolds and occupies the full screen, pushing the emails down.
To close the menu, swipe up (fold) or tap on any link of the menu. Or you can tap the “mailer” logo to be redirected to the inbox, closing the menu.
@Alessio Atzeni I’m trying to steer away from gradients, shadows, inset, etc. effects as I believe we’re entering a new stage that doesn’t have these effects (remember the web 2.0 look and glossy buttons?)
The only elements that have an inset effect in the app are the dividing lines and the stars (thinking of removing it from the stars)
Really like this. Been working on developing something similar for an entirely different app. I steered clear of the top though as I didn't want to interfere with notification center - but idea is slick regardless!
@gildedsplinter thanks. Yeah, I’ll do some actual testing tomorrow. I reckon max 10-20% of the top bar will interfere with the notification area. I’ll be really bummed the interference is bigger than that.
Looks nice, the mailer font is okay but I would like to see what it would look like with a different font, I like Muli. The gestures look really nice, keep up the great work.

Any thoughts?

Great work :)

@Alessio Atzeni thanks, which notification?
@Yaroslav Patrikeev I was 50-50 whether to use “labels” or “important&starred”. Do you use labels more than those two?

Not a fan of the fonts, but it's certainly a nice idea :)

@Alex Cican I do not like the notifications popup, maybe it would be nicest if they rounded with an inset effect.
