I'm new to Voyager and I keep replying to comments with the Reply to POST button instead of using the comment hamburger. If it's an original reply to my post, it's the only comment on the screen.

Not sure what to suggest, but there has to be a better way.

I'd even consider it sensical to entirely get rid of that big reply button, since it's very unlikely you are in this particular place (clicked the comment in the inbox) to make a new original comment to the post.

I've taken a doctrinaire stance against swipes on the OS level. It's too much of a cluster fuck when you have OS and app interpreting swipes and you have to be thinking about whether you're long swiping or short swiping and if you're swiping from the edge of the screen of 2 mm in from the screen.

I'm rocking three buttons on my android, but I guess that means I can start using swipes for apps without fear.

That makes sense. When I was on Android I preferred back buttons as well, but for most apps I use on iOS swipes work pretty well. Voyager has pretty large touch boundaries, so you can just swipe comments from the middle of your screen, or go back from the edges. The more you use it the more intuitive it’ll become.

Then you buy an iPhone haha

Yes, I think android got appropriately dragged both for having sloppy parameters and for not enforcing their policy uniformly.... Maybe someday they'll get it right, but I'm hoping we get a decent android desktop first.
