Rearranging items on the main menu

Got the new interface and it looks nice. Looking forward to the other modes.

As a feature request, it would make a lot of sense for us to be able to adjust the order of items on the main menu, or pin items, etc. Some people may want to play primarily on Lichess or other modes, so it would be annoying if they had to scroll down (all the way to the bottom for Lichess right now) every time to play that mode. As another example, most people won’t have the checkers pieces, so I would think those people wouldn’t want that item taking up valuable real estate above other modes they use.

Scrolling on this device is a bit tedious in general, so that makes this feature doubly important. Thanks for considering.

I like this idea. But having the option to change things around might be the hard to do solution.

I love the 1.0 interface. It’s bright, colorful and great in general. But, if it makes things simple, the buttons could be scaled down to half size to have more options on the first screen? Maybe? Depends on the team’s view on their interface :stuck_out_tongue:

Looking forward to the next updates (also, no crash to report for me, so far It’s been flawless which makes me inactive here :disappointed_relieved: )

I think the UI would feel less friendly with smaller buttons.

The most intuitive solution might be to allow us to hold and drag menu items to new positions.

In a future release we will likely add a “favorite” shortcut - which allows a bit of customization. But TBD

Thanks. In that case, I vote for moving Lichess up above the fold by default, maybe in the 2nd slot.

Of course, I wouldn’t be too surprised if Chesscom demanded that Lichess be marginalized as part of the partnership with Chessup.

That is the perfect use of the personal favorite- if you play lichess mainly, you can put it in the favorite slot.

But I am getting ahead of myself, I don’t own the UI design (for good reason).
