[Feature request] Top-level account switcher #749

Open brendonrapp opened 3 years ago

brendonrapp commented 3 years ago

The account switcher in SmartTubeNext is a pretty significant regression from what we had with SmartYoutubeTV.

The latter had the account switcher at the top level, and required minimal input to get from one account to another:

(account icon) > (select account) > Use account

With SmartTubeNext, this has now been buried beneath multiple layers of menu navigation:

Settings > Accounts > Select Account > (click on account) > (Back button) > (Back button again) > (Back button a third time) > (scroll back up to top)

This is a much worse experience, and is the one and only reason I will not use STN and continue to stick with SmartYoutubeTV. For use cases with frequent account switching, this absolutely craters the usability of this app.

The ability to choose an account on open is a nice feature, but does not resolve the UI pain of switching accounts during use.

It would be very nice to see account switching be brought back up to the top level, and also have the app jump back to home and refresh when a new account is chosen, rather than requiring all the back-navigating to return to home after switch.

I also think this is a regression from SmartYoutubeTV.

Please enable an easy/quick way to switch between account.
