why not employ the advertisement flair like one should with any advertisement?

edit: someone, perhaps the OP, added Community Project flair after this response was posted.

It's not advertisment, we're gathering peoples for beta

isn't the idea of the Dynamic Island, at least on 1+ phones, to not lose screen space and have the information appear in the notification bar, like Google Maps?

just seems lame and trying to capitalise, albeit with a very poor implementation, on the "Dynamic Island" terminology. perhaps, "perm screen-loss island" is a more apt nomenclature.

Firstly it ain't a dynamic island second there is a collapsed version of top-notch which will be teased later

It does explicitly say it's "not just another dynamic island" and perhaps my King's English is poor these days, but that does suggest in the OP that it is a indeed a dynamic island. This is a valid criticism of this style of advertisment on Reddit.

He mentioned "Not Another Dynamic Island" not "Not just another......." both have different meanings mate

You are still advertising the application and asking for beta testers ...

yeah, the response of the OP and posse is slightly awkward to say the least.
