@darius I'm not super fussy about this personally, but the part of me that is a mobile UX designer wants to know why none of this interface is at the bottom of the screen, where you can press it with your thumbs without moving your hand.

@darius agreed with everything you say here, but also... this seems like a totally reasonable amount of complexity for a core feature, like "showing message notifications" is for Slack. the classic gamedev thing of having to implement a whole heap of complexity in order to approximate "common sense".
