controls repetition

[tmos]

Let's brainstorm about controls repetition !

Few ideas :

• On desktop when we scroll, the nav element is set to «fixed», and then stay at the bottom of the article (as the social buttons of the old 9gag if you see).
• A repetition of the nav element (in the left bar), at the bottom of the article.

On mobile devices, I don't see anything than the simple repetition of the nav after the content.

@Phyks I commented the repetition code temporary, because it wasn't usable as is :)

@tmos: np, it was mostly for the phone view, and indeed it wasn't usable as is in the default view.

I don't know the old 9gag, but I trust you =)

For my personal use, controls repetition is very important on mobile device, and it's perfect after the content. The controls repetition à la 9gag seems to be really nice !

Ok, I'll implement bottom mobile repetition first, and then see for the 9gag style (tricky js inside).

If it is possible, try not to force people to use JS.

[tmos]

Well, at this time JS is already mandatory for set articles as read…

@tmos: 👍

@tmos Right, i did not though enough before writing =P

If we implement mobile gestures, do we really need buttona repetition ?

[Phyks]

We need a specific behaviour on desktop (for example the fixed position ? :).

On mobile devices, if we implement such mobile gestures, I'm in favor of delaying it after issue #52 is solved.

[tmos]

Yeah, you are right, I was mobile-focused this morning ^^"
So still open !

[eliemichel]

I think we still need buttons although there are mobile gestures since these are for power users (it can't be gessed).

[tmos]

"power users" can't guess thoe moves too. I suggest that we implement a little graphic introduction ("how to") at the first use, to be sure those small tricks are fully understood by the user.

[Phyks]

Actually, I'd like an interface à la Tinder for the mobile view. Easy to read, easy to swipe between articles, to read them etc. What do you think ?

[tmos]

Yep, I never tried the app, but the simplicity and usability seems very nice. I add it in my mind library :p

[Phyks]

Me neither :) But I was told it's very simple and addictive :p
