Why not using the same way as on Harmattan? Just pressing the button without any need to swipe.
C'mon, this is Never seen that (nor had the need it seems). Nice! Thx
Maybe on first app upstart do a tutorial kind of sequence to introduce the function of the button? Not like a full blown step by step SFOS/AsteroidOS tutorial, but just let the button "unfold" itself on first start and give a hint how to close and open this menu again? Now that i know it is really nice to use
