[FR] Showing/hiding apps through gesture, swipe or mousewheel

[Roccobot]

Problem or Need

While I'm thrilled to have migrated from HyperDock to DockDoor, one key feature from HyperDock is sorely missed: the ability to show/hide applications with a simple swipe or scroll gesture. This feature significantly enhanced my productivity, and it felt so natural that now I'm experiencing a noticeable drop without it.

How this feature works (on HyperDock) When an app is running, hover your mouse cursor over its Dock icon. Then, swiping up or scrolling up on the Magic Mouse or trackpad (or scrolling up on any regular mouse) brings the app to the forefront, while swiping or scrolling down hides all its windows. This is similar to pressing ⌘H on each individual window, but does it all at once. For an even faster experience, animations can be disabled (that's how I like it).

Proposed Solution

Since the feature is missing, it should be built from scratch. I understand that implementation may have its challenges, but I strongly believe that adding this feature would greatly benefit the DockDoor community. It's a simple yet powerful tool that could enhance user experience and productivity.

Alternative Solutions

Unfortunately, I haven't found a satisfactory alternative to HyperDock's implementation of this feature. The ease of use and reliability of HyperDock's solution are unmatched in my experience. It was quick, seamless, and without any noticeable delays even with my old-ass MacBook.

Potential Impact

Based on my personal experience, I believe that this feature would be a valuable addition for many DockDoor users.
