I just sent out a new TestFlight build for testers. This build introduces a new experimental “go back” gesture we’ve been playing with here, and disables the pull down to go back gesture for testing. You can think of it as an invisible back button right above your home bar. (The bar you drag to clo…

I have to say, this “tap above home bar to go back” feature is not for me. I just can’t break the muscle memory of swiping down to go back. Every time I try to go back I start by swiping down, and it does nothing, which makes the app feel broken to me. Aside from that, it’s an inherently difficult t…

I like the tap above their home button but occasionally I’ll use the pinch fingers together (top and bottom) to jump to the previous list. Does that gesture help any?

I forgot about pinching outward to go back! This is a good gesture, but only downside is it can’t be done one-handed (well, not comfortably anyway lol).

Although I previously posted early in the thread how much I find the new tap method easy and intuitive after using it for some time now I have to say…. I mentioned that using the tap to go back will free up the old swipe gesture for future uses but I’ve now realized that not only is that a plus but…

Don’t worry. (I feel a lot of loving worry.) First of all I was the main designer on the original Clear, so you can consider me part of the original ‘old team’. Let me sketch out our current thoughts and plan. • Home bar tap, some unique positive tradeoffs and some negatives, rolled out as an expe…

Choice is good, options are good. The home-bar tap has now entered my muscle memory, and I’d say it’s worth keeping. Thanks for generating options!

I just posted this on Twitter, but please hear me out. :grinning: Perhaps other members can comment on my idea, too. [test1] Guys, when you were researching ways to implement the “go back” and ended up with the semicircle above the Home Bar, did you ever try something like this? A contextual bar…

Here’s the mock up of the Task Shelf: [test2] When you have selected a task (or multiple tasks) and start dragging, it expands for you to drop them there temporarily!

Aaaaaand they are ready to be placed in the other list! [test3]
