Writing Studio

Mobile immersive writing: swipe regions / immersive mode / Wake Lock

3 min read

A phone is "short bursts, one-handed writing." The UI has to be designed for that. Slima's mobile build is its own immersive experience, not a shrunken desktop.

Slima Writing Studio desktop editor as a reference; mobile collapses side panels into sheets with a bottom 4-button nav

Mobile-specific interactions

Exact interactions vary by device / Slima version; common patterns:

Swipe to switch regions

Mobile usually uses horizontal swipes to move between three sheets: files / editor / AI Coach. Learn it once.

Pinch to zoom font

Some versions support two-finger pinch → font size up / down (not full-page zoom — just the font).

Portrait / landscape adaptive

  • Portrait: standard mobile editor (top header + editor + bottom NavBar)
  • Landscape: bottom NavBar usually collapses, the editor occupies the full width (useful for long writing sessions on a tablet)

Toolbar above the keyboard

When the on-screen keyboard appears, a minimal toolbar usually floats above it (Bold / Italic / quotes / undo / new paragraph / etc.) — mobile-only feature.

Immersive mode (mobile's Zen)

After entering, typically:

  • Top header goes transparent / narrower
  • Bottom NavBar narrows or hides
  • Just text and what you type

Exit returns to standard layout.

Wake Lock: screen stays on while writing

Some mobile immersive modes prevent screen sleep (OS-level Wake Lock, requires browser support) — your screen won't dim while you're writing.

Exit immersive → screen returns to normal sleep behaviour.
