- About the push notifications, you could always add an option to disable them selectively, I suppose.
- For local storage, I mean like a local keychain. It would obviously have to be encrypted, but I don't see it as something so hard to do? I have an AES-encrypted JSON that stores some stuff in a server, though I'm not sure if that's the standard for security. I think it's easier to do on mobile, too, where things are more contained and not risked by addons.
- Exactly, shortcuts can be easily set up to open the website quickly. However, you could have a small popup that recommends adding to desktop, for example. It would way more comfy to just have that done automatically by the playstore, especially for the newbies.
- Yeah, widgets are an addition. I was thinking of curation feeds, notification feeds, and optionally wallet monitor (SP Steem SBD etc.)
- Navigation gestures are like, pulling to the right to get a menu, or to go to home screen, to go to the next post, etc., basically navigating the app with gestures instead of pressing buttons. Many apps do this wonderfully and a lot of the competition lies on this point alone.
- Keychain can be temporarily solved by making an encrypted posting key container in client-side storage, possibly unlocked as a WIF with a cookie?
- The editor could be solved more easily on an app with a custom text box. You press it and a plain text box appears in focus where you can write, and once you close the keyboard, it switches back to web-version text box.

If you have good examples of apps that do gestures well let us know. That sounds intriguing.
But yes in general using keys on mobile is solution #1 ... then mobile app. And if they're one in the same so be it.
Let's make sure @asgarth is following this conversation
Many animations are explained in a video I found.
No need to watch it all.
Other gestures not explained in the video are: If you click a post, you can drag left from the post to go back to the list of posts, or drag right to go to the next post in the list. If you drag up, you see a menu with a left button to go back to the list. Drag up and down and you simply see more of the content. Alternatively, if you drag from the left side of the screen, you can drag a menu into the screen where you find the app's menu (day/dark mode, replies, profile, communities, trending, etc.).
Etc. Gestures are basically the charm of mobile, but they're hard to implement sometimes. Not pleasurable if you're hurrying to implement more features for the desktop version of the app.
Here's a link to Reddit's introduction of their own app (not the same one as on the 1st video).
There are no gestures displayed in this video, but it gives insight about the challenges of making their app.
If you want to explore more gestures, download the app Joey and Reddit's official app. Both have different gesture combinations that give a nice experience, although they are fewer gestures than what were introduced in the first video.
I'll watch it all this week. I like these types of videos. Keep em' coming if you find more.
