Hi Joey,
I like your pragmatic approach, well illustrated, this really is a gem of an article.
You mentioned it would be an improvement to allow the user to switch between categories without an unnecessary tap.
I understand how your solution does that.
I wonder how many glances it takes your users to learn the categories so they don’t have to slide the secondary panel to the right before every tab change.
I hypothesize that under 5 categories it scales in a linear fashion but with more items than 5 (like in your case) it takes off to an exponential # of glances.
Care to share some findings about that?
