Swipe anywhere to go back is an awesome feature that I absolutely love! No more reaching the edge of the screen. Just a quick swipe from anywhere, and you’re back to where you were. It’s so convenient. I first experienced this feature on the Apollo app, and now I wish every app had it. With Swipe anywhere to go back, I tend to open posts more easily because it’s easier to go back.
I think this is the best idea. While it could be done as requested, it might be problematic with the current gestures. I’ll need to look into how to implement it properly.
The thing with putting it on the navigation bar is that, in the future, if you implement the full-screen mode that hides the top and bottom navigation bar when scrolling down, the bar would be hidden.
It’s also a great way to accidentally hit the feed button and scroll all the way to the top
