In the navigation menu, there is an account option.

In many Android apps, the switching in a pulldown of the name. Although Google is switching a lot of their apps to a gesture for this. Suggest removal of the account option, and this be placed in a pulldown under the name along with a settings option to allow for fast switching.

Yeah, this is the default template when creating the template with a navigation bar but I removed that in the beginning since I didn't support multiple accounts. I should bring it back indeed.

I would keep the accounts menu item though for full defaults of the accounts and other actions, like add / refresh etc.

to-do

Move account switching / deletion toasts
add refresh button as well for updated config

Working on https://github.com/swentel/indigenous-android/issues/78 now - If I can get that working, I wonder if this is still necessary.

There's stlil the case of having multiple microsub servers. I wonder whether it makes sense to see all channels in the reader. That would make the 'account' part in the drawer completely obsolete in case you have multiple accounts. I can still show it if only once account is used, which is the case in most setups I think.

This way, you don't have to switch accounts depending on where you want to post or what you want to read.

Actually after some thinking, the user in the bar will become the default user when #78 goes in, so switching here still makes sense.

Ironically, the more I'm working on #78, where I have a working prototype, the more tricky that one becomes. Drafts, contacts, q=source are also per account .. so I'm thinking that switching is actually more reasonable in the end. and faster too.
