Idk if i’m a unique apollo user in this regard, but on apollo you were able to set gestures to the page transitions (what is currently the very edge left or right swipe in voyager with no option to change), and when using apollo i would set all left or right gestures to the page change, making the app work so that any left or right swipe would function as a back/forward swipe and go to the next/previous page in the queue. i much prefer this functionality to the various gesture options in apollo and voyager and would love if voyager could eventually support this functionality as well.

EDIT: actually on voyager it seems there’s only right back swipe functionality, no left forward swipe at all?? maybe i’m tripping. if this is the case tho, to me that would seem to indicate voyager is entirely missing the revolving virtual queue function that apollo let you navigate with left and right swipes

    if you configure a swipe as ‘none’ it will function as ‘back’. theres no ‘forward’ queue here only infinite scrolling to the limits of the buffer.

      I’ve seen people have success with that on iOS, but it doesn’t work for me on Android. If I disable and left swipes, nothing happens when I swipe, rather than going back.

      this works to disable gestures but doesn’t seem to work like apollo where the screen space for navigation gestures is much wider than with the gestures

    Apollo with both left and right swipes disabled and Disable Navigation Gestures turned off used to let you swipe left to right as “back” after reading a post (or a link in the built in browser) and then swipe right to left “forward” to return to it.

    Voyager is an excellent web app, really enjoying it and looking forward to a native app in the stores.
