Revision history [back]

Hello,

Sailfish 2.0 is Jolla reinventing itself to compete in this tough market and that's a good thing. The new UI seems like a radical change until you remember that this is Meego on N9 with the get-your-appgrid-everywhere enhancement...which is actually great.

My issue however is that I'm going to be forced to use widgets, and the worst part is that these widgets have only one button!

I understand that the horizontal cover actions conflict with the side interactions of the new UX.

I suggest exploiting the fact that the vertical swipes are non-conflictual, and transpose our beloved cover actions from left&right to up and down. The thumb's vertical travel becomes an asset again.

However, in order to accommodate the Android converts, both these cover actions can be touch enabled so that newcomers use active covers like widgets by jabbing at tiny icons, while the truly UnLike from the start can still swipe away to pause or skip.

Thanks, Nyonglema
