    Yeah, I was missing half of that part. I knew about the button but not the swipe to access. That would make sense.

    In that case, maybe consider a guide or short tutorial for when people first install the app. Or something in the settings page showing how things can be accessed and whatnot.

    Cuz a lot of this is stuff I probably would have never figured out and the same is very likely true for many others as well.

      Yeah this is always a tough one. I hate tutorials and personally would never read them and auto dismiss them. The best app designs are ones where actions are intuitive or at the very least discoverable. This is a flaw of the “hamburger menu”. It’s not intuitive and it’s usually hard to discover. In my past apps I constantly got feature requests to features that already existed in the side menu. Moving to the bottom menu pretty much got rid of all those bug reports despite a lot of people not liking it because it takes up screen space.

      For Summit, I’m not sure what to do just yet. Technically the side menu has a button dedicated to it in the overflow menu so it’s slightly discoverable but it’s still buried. I think I’d have to think about it more. Maybe I can add a button to the “community browser”.
