  • Can do homescreen icons. It has a widgets “pane”. You don’t place them on the home screen but put all widgets together than swipe to widgets. You can configure kvaesitso so it’s not too different from stock android experience.

    I have 5 “favorite” apps at bottom of screen, above the search bar, similar to stock android.

    I swipe left for my app drawer, which allows for more pinned favorites above full list.

    I swipe up for all my widgets.

    Swipe down for notifications, like stock.

    Swipe right for my camera app.







  • Personally, I don’t mind settings being in the bottom bar. But at the same time, I think what you have in mind would be fine too. I do like the idea of bookmarks in the bottom bar, as honestly, this wasn’t something I was aware existed until I read your post and found bookmarks in the profile menu. Of course, it seems obvious now with the common bookmark button next to the upvote/downvote… I noticed I had some items bookmarked, likely accidental presses as a result the button’s proximity to the up/downvote.

    I came from eternity, which had that the profile and settings in the left bar, which I also thought was fine.

    The one thing I do find inconsistent with the UI is how the app treats Subscribed, All, and Local versus individual communities. Clicking on Subscribed, All, or Local gives you the default UI with the navigation bar at the bottom, and then you can swipe to quickly go to another. However, clicking on a community in the left bar does not give you the bottom navigation bar and while you can click on another community to go to it, you cannot click on Subscribed, Local, or All to go to those aggregate feeds. You instead have to click the back button in the upper left on each individual community you navigated to.




  • Powerpoint is what made me originally vow to try to never use word or powerpoint again, about 15 years ago. I was making a mathematically-dense presentation and became so frustrated with it that I wanted to throw my computer out the window. I still was somewhat new to latex at the time but figured there had to be some way to make presentations in latex. Found beamer and have never used pp for a real presentation again.
