Category Drag Tabs for ease of use on small screens

drag tabs drag-tabs mobile UI Improvement Simple

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

The current method of article/category organization makes it next to impossible to use world anvil on a phone, due to the fact that if you try to scroll down you just wind up moving your articles around.    

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Adding drag tabs to the categories would allow you to scroll down without dragging the categories around.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

It would be a huge step towards making world anvil manageable on mobile devices, due to this one thing making it next to impossible right now.

    Given the app may be coming soon, not super high priority. But it's still very annoying at the moment and doesn't seem like a super difficult fix.

    I made this suggestion once before and it did not gain enough votes. I am absolute still in favor of it now.   This is for drag tabs, a special section in dragable items that you would use to drag and drop. It is already in use for categories to allow you to reorder articles if you want to see how that would work.   As someone who does 100% of my worldbuilding on my phone, mobile accessibility is very important to me. The mobile app has already been stated that it will not cover all WA features.

    A World Anvil app has been in the works for some time, so I do not feel the need to make the desktop version more accessible on mobile. Nevertheless, this is a great suggestion because this real problem is quite frustrating. Hopefully the app is debuted soon... and hopefully it is available NOT JUST on Apple but also Android lol XD I appreciate the suggestion anyhow. God bless you.

    I don't know why this is getting downvoted. Any improvements to the functionality of WA on mobile is a good thing for the site itself.
