What a catch, my eyes are running in every direction. Today is the most curious stuff! I love contextual navigation. Sheets, Bottom Sheet, curtain, handle, modal view — this element has many names. I like it because it creates a feeling of uninterrupted context. It gives new information while keeping you in the previous context. Like in a city, when we walk a route, peek into curious side streets, then return to the main path. The curtain now has an industrial, standardized format. Part of the curtain: the "thingy-handle." What is the scientific name for it? The thingy-handle is meant to show that this element can be pulled out and tucked back in. Look at the first two pictures: Music and Mail. By the way, notice this: Mail contextually and visibly keeps the draft at the bottom of the screen — a super solution. Moving to the third screencast. Looks like the Home app is made by a team of rebels, visionaries, visitors from the future. Their concept: a click anywhere on the "glass" closes the current view. At the beginning of the screencast I tap the temperature widgets, and when I tap the empty space they close. The curtain in Home has no thingy-handle. The whole screen obediently follows the finger. At the same time, the people making Intercom (the black panel) follow safer life strategies. Maybe that part was made by some guy from the App Store team who accidentally wandered in after lunch. There a little cross appears in the corner of the screen. Apparently the guy from the App Store team stayed and finished the settings screen too. It also looks interesting. It is a curtain without the thingy, with its own separate header that sticks while scrolling. Pull the sticky header and you can quickly close the view.
