Ever since its launch in June, Threads, the micro-blogging application launched by Meta subsidiary Instagram, has been operating without a dedicated web application. Earlier in the week, Instagram head Adam Mosseri revealed that his team was working on launching the web app as soon as this week. That has started to happen in a staggered way.
Threads.net will show your username, phone number or email and password field where you enter the credentials for Instagram, which is followed by two-factor authentication. Threads.net appeared for the first time just before the app was launched when Meta founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg teased it.
The Threads web interface uses the application bar on top with the same five tabs that are on the mobile version of the app. There is also an overflow menu at the right corner which lets you switch between light and dark theme, see the About section and log out. One way to refresh the feed is by tapping the Home tab icon in the application bar. The user interface is actually pretty close to Android and iOS.
Of course, this is a very responsive website. Shrinking the window column will get rid of the left and right padding and eventually the application bar.
Design-wise, this is a simpler interface than that of X and Mastodon. Threads was off to a flying start but in the last couple of weeks, it has been losing users rapidly and engagement on the platform has been down. The web app is critical to sustain usage, so that people who have been disillusioned with X, formerly called Twitter, can make Threads their new home for microblogging.
