Discourse Hub - swipe-back is awesome!

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the swipe-back feature on the Discourse Hub mobile app. merefield initially praises the Android app’s ability to swipe back from a topic to the topic list and further to the list of forums. However, pmusaraj corrects that this feature is also available on the iOS app, albeit with a different functionality. On iOS, swipe-back navigates the forum’s history within the current forum, not going back to the list of forums. Jagster expresses concerns about potentially browsing through forum history and prefers the current iOS behavior.

Just discovered that, on Android, you can swipe back from the forum view back to the list of forums.

That is so awesome. :1st_place_medal:

So you can swipe back from a Topic to go to the Topic List of a forum, then up again to the list of sites with another swipe-back. :rocket:

Read it and weep iOSers :wink:

Swiping to go back/forward also works on the iOS app.

It does?! I tested this and had to fall back to the down chevron on the bottom bar … I’ll check again - did I have an old version of the app?

I should clarify, not to go back to the list of forums. But while you’re in a forum, it navigates that forum’s history, all the way up to the first opened page.

Oh meh, yes, was aware of that … no that’s just very good, but not awesome.

The Android app goes the whole way, and that is awesome.. :robot: :muscle:

appreciate you are working within Apple constraints

That would be horrible. I don’t want to browse history all the way back to forums, specially when I came in from clicking new.

Now I understand why those bot-owners are so jumpy — they never know where they are going and what destination will be :rofl:

(I’m using swiping all the time on i-devices)
