Many news apps also have this issue: when I follow links for some time, basically surf the fediverse, it is awkward to return “home”: you have to traverse your entire journey backwards. It would be nice to have the taskbar at the bottom all the time, maybe configurable or with auto-hide. Or maybe I am missing something.
Other than that, very impressed so far! 👍 Great work!
Maybe add it to the three dots menu at the top so it doesn’t clutter the page?
