Well shit, sign me up!

I have no idea what F-Droid is, but I tried them all and I actually like the UI of the official app the best. It’s missing a few features, but they’re still improving it and integrating all the features.

I mean, honestly? Yeah. People forget that their widespread support and cooperation is ultimately the source of other people’s power. Your boss might be able to fire you, but they can’t fire everybody.

Yeah, you gotta be careful about how many options you give the user. Not enough and people can’t customize the app to their liking or abilities. Too many and the app becomes difficult to maintain with the number of potential settings interactions going up at an absurd rate.

This one seems on the fence in my opinion. It’s unlikely to cause any weird behavior, but it’s yet another settings toggle to deal with for a problem that’s easily overcome by just user experience.

I’ll put it this way, I have 60 apps on my phone. 57 of them do not try to keep me in the app when I try to leave with the back button. 3 of them do. 0 of them give me a toggle to change this behavior. Of the 3 that try and keep me in the app, 1 is an app which tries to keep you addicted, 1 is an app which relies on a special WiFi connection which is closed by exiting the app, and 1 I honestly can’t explain why they try and keep you in there.

So if we’re using that as a vote for how developers feel about this feature, it’s 57 against - 3 for.

Edit: although I will say that the current behavior of the back button is pretty bad. Instead of going back up layers, it walks backward through all the screens you’ve been to previously.

Oh Lord please no.

I don’t want to live with a clingy app that won’t let me leave. Keep track of where you’re at so you don’t back all the way out of the app. Don’t blindly mash the back button.

It didn’t occur to me that this might be a bug. Seems more like a way to indicate that the app is loading something from the internet. In fact, when it doesn’t do that it feels strange to me, like when refreshing your inbox.
