Some upcoming features built and some in the work
Howdy y'all,
Hope you all had a wonderful day, got some free time today and wanted to share some of the new features/refinements/concepts in the upcoming versions.
Key features I've been working on:
- True foldable support, not just a canvas cut (outer screen being the left half on inner), but separate states that supports different layouts
- A requested feature to have the option to hide dock, and bring it up with a short swipe, auto hides after a few seconds (requested feature from u/demicky250274)
- UI/UX overhaul for widget picker, placement, config etc.
- Notification preview in hub by long pressing on an item, shows a preview, the highlight here is I was able to show a key snapshot of the event from Google Homes etc, that has given me a run for the money...
- Message/Email history preview, for when you get multiple messages from the same source, it would show you the message counts and will let you see all the messages in dialog preview, this involved data model change, took a while to figure out the bugs
- Settings, added back gesture support to go back to parent level, position retention, in custom tag section the upper portion would auto scroll up to let you edit easier (from feedback, thanks u/cliffr39)
- More Metro UI like live tile, color tune, spring animation visual, slide in/out visual for hub opening/closing
- Option to turn on haptic feedback in the launcher
And much more....
Here's how to join closed beta on Google Play (excuse Google Play as it may have some delay before showing you the app after joining the group) -
