Submenus for Pulley?

I've been thinking about Sailfish ui and find that when apps grow more sophisticated, there would arise a need to have more commands on menus, thus sooner or later you have to introduce submenus to pulley menu and also to the context menus of a longpressed items. And i personally can imagine such menu system, and it imo really fits into pulley paradigm, though navigating only by thumb could prove harder, possibly.

My other concern as Jolla 1 phone user is, that as features accumulate, the OS woudn't become a resource hog and obsolete my jolla too early due to low specs it has. I'd like to being able to use my phone 2-4 years.

I think bottom pulley menu should be deprecated.

My other concern as Jolla 1 phone user is, that as if features accumulate, the OS woudn't wouldn't become a resource hog and obsolete my jolla too early due to low specs it has. I'd like to being able to use my phone 2-4 years.

suggestion - first level pully menu could slide aside when a menu item with submenu is selected, simple swype back on an item would navigate back into parent menu - just get visual clues and animations right and it should work.

I edited my original suggestion above, this following opinion is now deprecated (:

So i make this my feature suggestion - first level pully menu could slide aside when a menu item with submenu is selected, simple swype back on an a secondary level menu item would navigate back into parent menu - just get visual clues and animations right and it should work.
