Android UI Enhancement Suggestions

Platform: Android 13
Device: Realme C25s
App Version: 0.518.1

Summary

Several UI layout improvements for the Android app to better utilize screen space and improve navigation ergonomics.

Suggestions

1. Bottom Navigation Buttons Should Be Contextual

The three buttons at the bottom (Settings, Sync, Appearance) are currently always visible as global navigation. These should only appear when the top-left hamburger menu button is tapped, rather than occupying permanent bottom bar space.

2. "New" Button as Floating Action Button

The "New" button to create notes and other items should be moved to the bottom-right corner as a floating action button (FAB), placing it at the user's fingertips for easy access.

3. Markdown Format Selection Bar at Bottom

The markdown format selection toolbar should be repositioned to the bottom of the screen instead of its current location.

4. Reduce Top Bar Clutter on Note Preview Page

The navigation buttons for switching between notes (left/right arrows) and the share button currently take up too much space in the top bar of the note preview page. An option should be added to:

  • Disable the left/right navigation buttons
  • Move the share button into the three-dots menu

This would free up significant space at the top of the note preview screen.
