<p>We are very unlikely to remove the card animations altogether.
The cards actually give very important visual feedback, and are not
just eye candy. Immediately you see the current card, see how many
facets there are, see what facet you are on, and what the next
facet role is etc. You miss all that in a full screen featureless
view. It is also easier for a new user to grasp the concept of
multiple facets. (Eg. a flipping view like in the original app
gives the impression there should be 2 sides, but there are
actually more. Confusing to a new user.)</p>
<p>To move through the slideshow with a single gesture, just tap
the right of the screen half way up. No need to swipe if you don't
want to. By having separate gestures for next facet and next note,
we allow you to quickly move to a new note without going through
all the rest of the facets. These decisions were thought out
carefully, and not made flippantly.</p>
<p>All gestures are described by tapping the bottom right
button.</p>

view the number of facets. I only use two facets, so I had
forgotten about that. Of course, if there ever <em>is</em> a choice
to be made between fluidity and function over adding "eye candy",
please do opt for the former. :) People that use this app want
results above all else. That is a great explanation though.</p></div>zeppo
