Back Button

Open Shak1990 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

What's the Problem?

It is really a small thing but a back button will be really great especially when DevToy resizes to a small window/50% size.

I know we have the hamburger menu but in my point of view, it is more intuitive to use the back button especially when I use it with my mouse button shortcut.

Solution/Idea

Similar to the Settings App back button:

Alternatives

The need for a back button stems from the need to navigate the app faster and easier, therefore, adding a favorite or most used app category will be a nice addition.

the most used app category can be displayed inside the hamburger menu or in the right space of the app screen.

Hello, Thanks for your feedback.

Back button is something I could indeed add. :)

For the favorite, it is already available:

The tool then appears at the top of the list:

Thanks but maybe you can make the Favorite Categorie clear and readable? I mean it should have its own Label and all the tools should be tabbed inside it.

Moreover, maybe you should consider adding a frequently used label with the top 5 most used tools base on personal usage.

Note to myself:

Non-file design decision:

Having the navigation menu like:

- All Tools
- ---------
- Recent tool 1
- Recent tool 2
- Recent tool 3
- ---------
- Favorites (expanded by default when the app starts)
  | - Tool 1
  | - Tool 2
- Converters
- Encoders / Decoders
- Formatters
- Generators
- Text
- Graphic
- ---------
- Settings 

Recent tools would update only when the app restarts. The list would not change while jumping from a tool to another.
