[MEM-121] Swipe action for saving posts

[leftbones]

I know customization for swipe gestures are off the table for now, but I think a swipe gesture for saving is crucial. I’ve been trying many other Lemmy apps, and they almost all have this feature.

Ideally, swiping a post left should first bring up the reply option, then swiping further should bring up the save option. Right now, it just does reply and then nothing else. That empty space could be utilized!

If you noticed, there is a second "slot" now for the right->left swipe that is empty. Was thinking of adding it there.

Exactly what I meant! That’s where it is on Apollo and most of the other Lemmy apps, it definitely would help with my muscle memory too haha.

In your opinion, should it be the first option or the second? I'm fine with either.

I've noticed that we might need to increase the distance for the right-left actions. It seems that's its a bit too easy to miss the first action right now and hit the second one, maybe because I believe Apollo defaulted to reply being the second option rather than the first.

Eventually we will have customization for that, but in the meantime I need some default to go with.

Personally I think the second option is best for saving. It’s easier to do quickly, whereas stopping at the reply option has to be more deliberate.

Yea I think I agree.

Here's another question:

Should saved posts be stored locally (as well as being updated on Lemmy) and available to all of your accounts? I.e. if you save something on x@lemmy.ml it will be available in your saved list so you can go to it on y@lemmy.world

[leftbones]

Hm that I’m not sure about since I don’t use multiple accounts, maybe someone else could chime in on that.

I would think that accounts would have separate saves though.

Separate saves would be preferred imho.

I'll address this issue today.

I'll address this issue today.

When I saw the giant update today I was hoping this change made it in, but no luck. Hopefully next time!

@leftbones I think Sean is either working on this now or is finished with it 😉
