I really hate how there's lag when going "Back" from an article to the topic list (iOS, Safari). It resets the scroll position too, to the wrong spot.

This is a major issue on Reddit too... a huge lag when going Back.

I like that Sqwok looks HN/old.Reddit but with bigger mobile-sized tap targets and fonts. It feels like it works well in a browser. But the back experience kind of ruins the fluid UX.

hey thank you for checking it out! I realize that the back button is misleading and I plan to change it.

I was thinking to make it behave more like a back button, perhaps with some context sort of how it works on e.g. instagram?

Thank you for the feedback and checking it out, I appreciate it!

I'm using the native swipe-back gesture on my phone, not the back button in the top left (which I don't really even think you need).

ah ok gotcha, yeah right now there isn't any swipe functionality so I will need to investigate implementing it, thanks again for the feedback!

Hopefully you don't need to implement anything... just allow the browser to go Back, then don't refresh the topic list page at all when I land.
