Design challenge: HMW make "create" buttons distinct?

[alltheseas]

I imagine I am a new notedeck enjoyer. I see three "+" buttons next to each other. Might this be confusing for newcomers to notedeck? If yes, HMW make these buttons distinct - new post, new column, new deck

easiest would be to show a text tooltip on hover explaining what each button does

Would y'all think of moving the create new post button from the side bar to the respective notes and replies column that has WRITE waccess?

If logged in with a public key on a certain column, the post button would not be available.

If I have a notifications column, there would not be a create new posts button in this column.

I do like tool tips, and I like your suggestion of adding tool tips for these buttons kernel

now that I think about it the sidebar shouldn't be visible on mobile anyways, so tooltip would work fine here. I still think we should have a more distinct add deck button at the very least.

Even without tool tips. Having the buttons move to where they contextually are most relevant will make this intuitive.

The new note can be inside the column, this way you can also automatically add a hashtag or a username, if you click the plus within A column. (Similar to how starting a note from the profile page in Damus, automatically inserts the username in the note).

New columns button can move all the way to the top right.
New decks - not sure what their best placement could be.
