I love Voyager but despite its beautiful swipe settings I REALLY miss swipe right anywhere (not just from the left edge) to go back, like Apollo allowed for. Are there any plans to implement this? The Memmy app has this if you swipe on the bottom toolbar but it would be better to able to use it anywhere on the screen.

I really, really miss it from Apollo, and for example the new Artifact app (News reader) does this so perfectly.

    Thanks for your input. Can someone confirm that this is the case? I find it hard to believe that only ‘back’ would be blocked by this but any other function works when swiping from anywhere but the edge. But you may be absolutely right. :)

        Glad to hear it’s possible.

        But sad that so far all Lemmy app developers didn’t do this as their first and prioritised gesture, IMO it’s by far the most important for a nice browsing experience.

      Technically should be possible, it’s just likely far more difficult to implement in a PWA because you have to handle conflicts with any other gestures and web-related things

        But the gesture is already there, for example as a downvote/upvote, collapse or comment. It’s just not assigned to going back.
