Mobile UI improvements

[AndiLeni]

Hello,

I tried poznotes and really like the desktop experience so far!
May I suggest improving the mobile ui a litte bit?
F.e. adding content is hard on mobile. Almost all elements require the slash command, which is cumbersome to use on mobile.
Maybe an editor bar with the most common needed ui elements (add elements, text formatting, etc) could be added?

Thanks in advance and kind regards
Andreas

Hello! Great suggestion thanks. Could you tell me what you would see in this editor bar please?

Hi Tim. I agree that the mobile UI could use some love and also agree an editor bar would be a great idea! I think some inspiration from Obsidian might help. This bar also has a customization in settings.

yeah would make sense
I'm never going to do rocket science on a mobile, but:

a) the three dots "..." we have bottom right on mobile,
where you show "customise.." , "keyboard shortc.." "markdown syntx"
would be a good place for the slash (/) commands.

b) or the main menu bar, where you have the icons

but I find option a) better.. for me speaking...

Thanks all three for the input! The next release adds an editor bar pinned right above the on-screen keyboard while you edit a note on mobile.

It has a "+" button that opens the slash menu at the cursor so you no longer need to type "/", undo and redo, bold and italic, bullet list, numbered list and checklist, indent and outdent since touch keyboards have no Tab key, and a button to hide the keyboard. The row scrolls sideways on narrow screens.

Click the eye icon menu at the end right of the bar, then Customize, has a new "Mobile editor bar" section where you can hide any button or the whole bar.

@seals187 I went with a bar above the keyboard rather than the "..." menu because that menu sits under the keyboard while you type.

Tell me which buttons you miss once you have tried it.
