Mobile: Allow users to open multiple search previews
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

This is a follow up to T320527.

Due to technical complexity and refactoring needs the following acceptance criteria was moved to this ticket.

  • When another quick view is opened the previous one stays open (in the same scroll position user left it), unless the user explicitly closes it.
  • Each preview that has been previously opened by the user will need to be individually closed.

Event Timeline

We will evaluate whether we do this or not after reviewing the implementation for Milestone 3. If the shifting of content in current implementation turns out to be distracting and not accessibility friendly we will proceed with this ticket. Moved to blocked until then.

@cchen do we have any data on how many previews users are opening on mobile per session yet?

This information can be one of the factors (there are other UI factors too) that could help us in deciding whether to proceed with this ticket or not.

@Sneha yes, I sent the data over Slack yesterday.

From 02/02/2023, on mobile, 0.14 previews are being opened per session on Russian Wikipedia, 0.24 previews are being opened per session on Portuguese Wikipedia, and 0.44 previews are being opened per session on Indonesian Wikipedia.

Thanks @cchen looks like I missed your slack message

This ticket is moved to blocked because if the improvement to current implementation captured in T329241 works well we may not have to pursue this solution. Also based on the above data that Connie shared there aren't many users opening multiple previews so we can pause this until future data indicates otherwise.
