Itâs a little surprising that Dynalist still isnât using swiping functionality in mobile apps. If I was an app developer it would be one of the first things I discussed with myself - what will I do with my left/right swipes fwiw Workflowy uses Complete/Delete which is fairly conventional and would be useful in Dynalist too.
Just wanted to bump this as itâs got four likes and itâs SO useful in Workflowy for reusable checklists. Thoughts Erica?
Totally agree that would be very handy to
swipe left to delete
and
swipe right to complete an task
How does this reusable checklist work? If i check everything off, the only way to uncheck everything in mobile is to uncheck each individual item. In desktop I would select all and then uncheck all selected. Mobile doesnât have a select-all. So what do you envision pottster?
Hi Alan. I was just thinking of a checklist which was recycled like a daily exercise log or a shopping list. Mobile uncheck/uncomplete all would also be nice but I was trying not to be greedy
I think swipe right could be the Mobile version of select like ctrl-click. Then after one or more are selected you can do all the operations on the selection.
As weâre up to 7 likes on this, any chance of adding a card to the Trello roadmap? At the moment this is the only feature thatâs keeping me with a foot in the Workflowy camp
In a similar vein, with other apps, Iâm finding the floating menu resulting from a long press on the app icon in Android tremendously useful for quick input/access. Straightforward to code as well I believe
Havenât looked into it, hopefully it will be straight-forward. My only concern is that during the quick input/access what the app can do is very limited and wonât be useful.
Regarding the original post, I think if you rename it to âSwiping to complete/delete in mobile appsâ, it might get more interest that it deserve. Thatâs what you meant, right?
The apps that use this facility only use the long press menu for limited purposes e.g. Simplenote for a new note creation, WhatsApp for going to your top contacts and the camera. Basic, but useful none the less. They are like widgets without the need for another icon. Presumably, Androidâs answer to 3D touch on the iphone.
It was what I meant. Title of post changed!
Here you go!
Thatâs great. Thank you.
We were supposed to be liking posts to get them on trello?
Yes, and apparently once itâs on Trello you should go there and like it again to get it happening!
Regarding the swipe, weâre still missing the multi-selection, or even single selection in Mobile. Might it be a good idea to implement a swipe to select and item and get the Hamburger commands thereby?
I completely agree that swipping to complete / delete would be great. I use the mobile app mostly for checking what I previously have listed on my computer while Iâm on the go (for instance cheking the grocery list while in the suppermarket).
