Hi Artur, Mirek,

so, Artur, I don't quite understand why you find this slide-out from the
bottom so atypical. There are e.g. similar slide-outs in the
descriptions of applications on Google Play. Of course, they expand to
the bottom and not from it, and they are somewhere on a content page.
The Notes bar is not meant to be an action bar, really.

So, ... at the same time, I wonder: do we actually need a notes button?
How about always showing any notes when the phone is in portrait mode,
and never showing them when in landscape?

Possible considerations: at some later point, we will probably add
buttons to play animations (e.g. some people like to let their bullet
points fly in individually – not that this useless habit should be
supported ;) ) or videos (some people actually like to put two on a
slide).
Especially in the case of videos, we probably need some kind of side
pane/bottom pane where you can click to play. (So, it's off-slide.) So,
what I am thinking about here is putting tabs in the bottom pane (one
for Notes, one for Animation & Video). And it could be argued if the
animation tab weren't available in landscape mode that would hamper
usability. So... not sure ultimately.

It is never too late to add another action bar button :-)

What do you think about showing notes below a slide — just like the
current implementation — but keep a slide vertical centered?
This will solve a waste of space when there are no notes and will keep
them visible if a presentation has them.

I think you will have to explain this a bit more...


BTW, remember to keep landscape mode in mind as well. There, notes should
probably be on the right-hand side.

Exactly, I had no solution for this in my (Astron's) original design.
