users: "tab bar is hard to reach on top. please move it to the bottom"

dfox: "But you never complained when the hamburger was at the top-left corner. nvm I'll do it"

users: "ugh, where is the material design. Move the tab bar to the top. Make it scrollable"

dfox: "sudo rm -rf /users"

    @ste09 and it's only like 1 or 2 so you'll really save on ammo. Probably even take only 1 bullet if you're good lol

    @ste09 agreed!

    Damn users. They're the worst. I prefer the company of my unit tests. They're so much chummier.

    Bottom navigation bar is part of Material Design, recommend for mobile. So it's OK as it is.

    While there is complaints that Android users can't reach the tab bar at the top; I'm sitting here with my iPhone in my hands where if I need to touch the navigation bar at the top, all I have to do is just tap on my home button lightly to activate reachability ;) Apple isn't so bad...in some ways..

    @tahnik devRant is clearly not MD so why does it matter if it's in the spec or not?

    @nblackburn I'm just pointing out to those who's complaining

    @tahnik They are complaining of guidelines this app clearly doesn't follow and never has so it's a mute argument with either party.

    Save yourself the bother, it's not worth it.

    @nblackburn yeah you're right

    It really feels like nav bars being at the bottom on mobile should be the standard with so many huge phones on the market, it just feels so much easier. Or how about a menu arc that pulls out from 33% in from the bottom left corner centred on the bottom right corner, with a reversed option in the settings for lefties

    DevRant never really had material design, but I prefer the old navigation drawer with a notification button up there over this tabbed view. I don't use the other tabs that often to justify having it all the time on screen.

    Google might have gotten it wrong with the tab placement. Nav tabs at the bottom seem more natural and easier to use to me.

    @dontbeevil well, they were the first ones that wrote a whole book about MD, so they can claim that those specs are their content :)

    @stisch Well your unit tests must be very timid .

    My make every effort to try to break my app going for any lapse I make :/
