it would be more easy to navigate in android mobile app if we could check feeds list on left side panel using swype gesture or by using bottom left function button in android based phones for example:
* if you’re viewing certaing feed and you want to swiftly change folder or feed you can easily swype left side of screen so list of those feeds would appear, so you don’t have to use back button anymore…
This conflicts with swiping stories, so it can’t happen.
actually you can use android phones functional button for that case… just like feedly mobile app does J
It’s quite possible to do this without conflict, and, in fact a few official google apps, including Chrome, have implemented this. You can do a bezel swipe to reveal the panel, while swiping from the middle of the screen will still switch stories.
See the “The New Swipe Gesture” here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/…
“Have you ever switched tabs in Google Chrome? Swiping in the middle of the screen will scroll horizontally, but swiping from the edge will switch tabs. That’s the model Shopper and Earth have adopted, and it works brilliantly.”
I am a huge fan of this idea.
As of yesterday, this is actually now an official design standard: http://developer.android.com/design/p…
The screenshot here even LOOKS like the feed list already: http://developer.android.com/design/p…
Ohh, bezel swipe. Sounds interesting. I’ll bring it up with my Android devs, and if it’s an easy addition (which it sounds like it will be), I’ll try to get it in.
It shouldn’t really perform the Back action as much as overlay the feed list in the [new] nav panel that appears from the swipe. This would let us see if we’ve got any more unread posts in a feed without leaving the current story in addition to letting us switch from one feed to another faster
Awesome.
