A note list is a common design pattern, like a stream of short textual messages e.g. tweets/status updates. Often highly time-context sensitive.

Common Denominators

There are certain UI elements which are common to most implementations. These include:

  • Profile photo (often with rounded corners)
  • Full Name (often emboldened)
  • Auto–linked URLs, usernames and #tags
  • Dates (sometimes relative, almost always the option to see real date)

Less Common Elements

  • As well as the full name, often there’s a network-specific name, or a URL on the indieweb
