Swiping right from the comments to go back to the posts usually opens the wrong menu.

I love this app and you've done an amazing job on it.

Really spectacular.

I mean, just exceptional.

There's just one annoying thing that honestly isn't that bad but I'd want to know about it if it were my product so here you go.

Seen Behavior

Basically, it's either not easy enough to go back to the previous page or it's too easy to open the reply/three dots menu on a comment. Most apps reserve the left 20% or so of the screen for swiping back to the previous page. Hacki uses basically everything but the far, far left edge for opening that comment menu. That means that, even if I'm intentionally reaching for the farthest edge of my screen, any slightly protruding phone case or miscalculation will prevent me from using that common gesture to go back to the previous page.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to swipe left from the right 20-30% of the screen to go back to the previous page (from comments to posts). That leaves 70-80% of the screen for swiping left to get to the comment context menu (I don't know what it's called, but I think you get the point. There's a Reply option and another option that opens the Three Dots menu with even more options).

Disclaimer

I'm one guy with one phone and might not represent the entire world. However, this is a Flutter project which means that your swipe gestures are probably pretty close across all Android/iOS devices, so it's maybe worth a look.

p.s. This app is leaps and bounds better than what I was using before. Thanks for building it AND for posting it on HN so I could find it. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

Hi @perdomon, I’m really glad you like the app. I will have a fix for this in v2.10.0, thanks!
