Feature description:
Currently the only back button in the Symfonium UI is at the top of the “page,” meaning that the user must scroll back to the top in order to go back without using an Android back provision. The feature would be to include a floating, transparent back button that appears when the user begins to scroll up, in the same way that the search, filter, and cast buttons appear in an overlay when starting to scroll back up.
Problem solved:
Makes it easier to go back a page without scrolling all the way back up to the top. I use gesture navigation on my device, but have a case that makes it somewhat difficult to use the back swipe-from-the-screen-edge gesture (even with the edge sensitivity turned up in display settings). I do not like the 3 button button nav bar, and have no interest in using it; wastes too much screen space. Adding the floating back button would provide an easier to use, predictable back navigation provision.
Brought benefits:
Makes my very specific use case easier. My not benefit a single other person, but some other folks will probably find it useful as well. It also kind of just makes sense, in my opinion, to have the back button appear in the described way due to that being the behavior of the other buttons that appear at the top.
