Ideas for improving trackers tiles on main screen in app #283

Hi,

I find plus sign in trackers tiles too small, in my opinion it's not comfortable to quickly add another data point when being in a hurry.

So my idea is to add an option, kind of an alternative layout, where plus icon would be much more bigger and it would be located below title of tracker and most recent data point date, not in the bottom right corner of tile as it is now.

If that's not a great idea, I have another one, a bit different approach - adding new data point could be done by simply touching the whole tile of tracker whereas list of all data points could be moved to three dots menu. But it would make it harder to access the latter.

I used to use different app for timestamps in past and there were tiles for each tracker, which were all screen width with minus/plus icons on the left/right edges of tile, making it really easy to add another timestamp.

I know I can add data point also using button in the the bottom right corner of screen, but swiping from left to the right between trackers in pop-up window isn't too comfortable as well.

In addition to that adding time of the most current timestamp to the tracker tile would also make it more meaningful and make it clear that the last timestamp was added correctly to tracker. Now it is good enough only if you add one timestamp per date because of lacking time on tile, having only date value.
