Description

1. Environment

  • Device: [Pixel 6a]
  • OS: [Android 13]
  • APP: [0.9.6]

2. Describe the feature request

When I open an article and see a blurb, I'd like to fetch the full content using a gesture.

  • Preferred solution: A double-tap gesture to trigger this and subsequently toggle between full content and blurb would be more intuitive.
  • Some applications (such as Inoreader) go for a pull from top gesture. This may be fine for fetching full content first time. It may not be so intuitive when you want to switch back to blurb while reading through the bottom of a long article (it'll force you to scroll all the way up before you can trigger pull down gesture).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the article-reading screen and its existing blurb/full-content handling, then review the gesture options and related Android UI guidance; done means a selected gesture fetches full content and lets readers toggle back to the blurb without returning to the top.
