Too bad I’m mostly up voting so I don’t get to see the smooth transition that often

Unless you use an ipad that has no haptic feedback. I keep downvoting things I intend to upvote. The size of the upvote swipe area is way too small without haptics.

Wish I could swipe to go backwards and forwards instead though.

Yeah, just don’t shake the thing too much. It’s gets kinda confused…

Will swipe to save come back? I loved that feature to save comments.

Hey all. I’m the dude who implemented the new vote animations and really appreciate all the love it’s getting. I’m hearing two main pain points in the posts today:

1. Some people are finding it difficult to swipe to go back.
2. Some people would like to disable it entirely.

Both understandable. Swipeable rows can sometimes impede a nav-back gesture unless you’re swiping from the very edge of the screen. I’ve seen a couple techniques to try and help with this which i can investigate.

As for point 2, I’ll leave the prioritization of that up to @gk, but the plus side is from an implementation perspective it will be very simple to do.

There’s a couple other small improvements I’d like to make to the voting/commenting animations as well. One should help with devices which either dont have haptic or have it disabled.

Cheers!

I have to say I was expecting configurable swiping like collapse comment trees (swipe left) and go back (swipe right) that I’ve been using in Apollo. I keep (down)voting on accident.

I’d rather be able to vote only by tapping arrows which atm collapses the comment.

So… I’m using Connect on Android, but I just learned I can swipe here too, so thanks.

Oh dang, I hadn’t even noticed till you pointed it out. It’s just so natural.

Well done!
