[Feature Request] Animate height of the tags box

Open thornySoap opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the feature

When selecting another tags chip in the tags section of the app list such that the height of the box changes, a short animation indicating this change of height would be nice.

How would it benefit usability

Right now the jarring transition often confuses me as the brain can't track the position of the chip selector intuitively, but has to realize it has moved downwards or upwards. This is especially the case if a tag with many apps is selected such that the selector moves out of view. It's not easy to quickly understand I have to scroll downwards in order to change to the previous tag and then scroll up again. An animation could greatly improve intuitive understanding of how the position of the tag selector changes after selecting another tag.

How well does it fit the overall app

I think quite good because there is already a nice animation opening the app list, expanding the tag selector already animates the box and even the screens in the setting are transitioned via an expressive animation, so eliminating such unsmooth transitions could benefit the consistency.

How hard would the implementation be

Probably not a trivial implementation because of the way each row is a single item of the LazyList.
