[Feature Request] First tab icon tap should jump to the top

The biggest feature I notice missing in almost all Lemmy apps, is jumping to the top on the first tap of the tab icon of the view you’re in.

E.g. you’ve scrolled down a bit while in the Posts tab, then you tap the Posts icon, in Apollo, it would jump to the top of the list view in Posts, then second tap would take you to the communities subscribed slideout view.

Would love to see both the first and second tap functionality added to the tab icons as it’s a great quality of life feature IMO.

  • Here’s a preview of this feature, for those technically-inclined 🚋🫡

    https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/pull/615

    • I’ve been using this build for a week or so now. And I gotta say, it’s definitely the missing feature for me 🥲 Even with the little delay in tapping the icon, I am finding it very much an improvement for me to use the app ❤️

      • I feel you 😥 The performance issue really is the major hurdle here. I’m trying to figure that one out I promise 🥹

        • I believe you! If there’s anything I can do, I am available and willing 🫡

    • I just want to point out, that I prefer the classic icon in this build over the TestFlight build 🙏

      • Should check out the Stargazer icon too 😏

        • 👀 I don’t see that one! Not in either build 🤓

          EDIT: I see it now! In the RC 😍 so cute!! Damn that search page is so handy!

          Anyway you can update this branch? 👀🙏🥹

          EDIT #2: I rebased the branch locally to the RC commit! This runs really well 👀🫶

          • Nice :) I’ll have to rebase sometime this week 😅 Hopefully this will make it after we update the app to support Lemmy v0.19 🫶

    • Any updates to this? I notice the branch is pretty out of date now. It's way out of my current abilities to update the branch myself now 🥲

      • Will do this sometime this week, then get the feature merged in!

        In the meantime, there’s a temporary thing coming before that lets you tap to scroll to top (not the same PR or feature set)

        • I am excited 🙌

          • Branch is ready, would love some testing before we start looking at merging it in 🫶

            • Testing now! Works like before :) Still has the delay before a jump to top, but everything is working well :) I notice the latest Stargazer icon has a different background hue. Is that intended?

              icons (new on left)

              • Probably? I haven’t been paying attention to the icon stuff 🙈 yea I’m not happy about that delay either

                • Understandable! The delay isn’t so bad, it’s noticeable but it’s not unbearable. Just a small delay :) I like how the app feels now tho! This is great 🔥

    • Latest 1.1.1 update is soooo close 🥹🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌

      • The tab bar navigation branch has just been merged in ahaha🤭

        • Oh my goodness 🫡 thank you for all the hard work!! I can’t wait 😍

    • I’m testing it now! This seems very close to what I was looking for 😍🫶 you’re amazing 🙌
