Open ISnackable opened 10 months ago

ISnackable commented 10 months ago

Preflight Checklist

What type of Apple device is the feature request for?

iPhone, iPad

Describe the feature

The proposed feature involves the implementation of a two-finger pan gesture selection on the chapter list. This gesture will allow users to select multiple items swiftly and intuitively, particularly useful when trying to mark multiple chapters as read.

By using the two-finger pan gesture, the app will automitcally put the chapter list in select mode, and the user doesn’t need to tap on the ellipsis (...) button.

This feature could also be used in other parts of the app, such as selecting multiple manga in the library.

Feature Motivation

  1. Enhanced User Efficiency: Users will be able to select multiple items with a single, natural gesture, improving efficiency when organizing, deleting, or sharing items.

  2. Intuitive Interaction: The two-finger pan gesture is consistent with established mobile UI conventions, making it easy for users to adapt to this feature seamlessly. An example of this feature can be found in the default email app of iOS.

See the image below for the context how this gesture is used.
