Context menu for replying, boosting, etc. is not a mobile-friendly UX #103

Open jaxley opened 1 year ago

jaxley commented 1 year ago

All of the actions you can take on a post you are viewing appear to be in a context menu. On mobile, there is no mouse so you must long press to show the context menu. However, the browser uses the same action to show its context menu. This results in the browser context menu blocking the app context menu. You need to close that every time you want to interact with a toot.

Would be nice if there was an icon you could click to open the context menu instead. Or configurable options to expose icons for context menu items that you use frequently so you can do the actions in one click.

Thanks for the great client!

@jaxley question, which browser/OS are you using?

Currently there is another way to open the context menu: tapping the timestamp.

Btw, why Boost / Fav buttons are located in different rows? I expect to see them in same row (maybe i'm wrong!)

I'm using Firefox on android.

I did not know that the time was click able for a menu! That will be a useful workaround.

I like to be able to boost and reply quickly though so being able to make those visible for single click actions would be more efficient.
