It's good to read, because I gave nearly exactly the same feedback to the new homescreen developers on friday. About scroll snapping, I think it's nice but it should have closer snap points (for example, 1 per line, or 2 per pages). But maybe it's not needed at all for the vertical scroll, as we're used to vertically scroll pages anyway. > > There are improvements also, especially the way we enter and exit "move > & delete" mode.
