@Greenlionzz

Feature Description

Add the ability to swipe left/right to navigate between the four book sections:

  • In Progress
  • Finished
  • For Later
  • Unfinished

Problem

Currently on tablets, the section tabs are located at the upper part of the screen. This makes it difficult and uncomfortable to reach, especially when holding a tablet with two hands.

Swiping would allow navigating between sections without reaching to the top of the screen.

Suggested Implementation

  • Horizontal swipe gesture on the book list area
  • Keep existing tabs as alternative
  • Optional: Add page indicator dots at bottom

Benefits

Current With Swipe
Must reach top of screen Swipe anywhere on list
Uncomfortable on tablets Natural gesture
One-hand use difficult Easy one-hand use

Device Info

  • Using on samsung tab a9 plus 5g
  • Issue is worse in landscape mode
