❓ Is your feature request related to a problem?
Having to click the back buttons at the very top of the screen on mobile is very annoying especially for one-hand users. Discord has solved this problem quite cleanly by introducing swipe gestures everyone got used to already, so I suggest adapting their UX.
✨ Describe the solution you'd like
When I am in a channel, I want to be able to swipe to the right, so that the channel list appears from the left. Similarly, when the channel list is visible, a left swipe should cleanly navigate me to the last opened channel.
🛣️ Describe alternatives you've considered
Moving the back button down would potentially also work, but it ruins the already clean design.
And because of similarities to Discords design I would expect a swipe gesture nonetheless, so I think it would be very beneficial this way or another.
💡 Additional context
This is a very tricky transition to get right for ideal UX. I implemented a plugin for Starlight with swipe gestures some time ago (but more as a fun challenge than anything serious), where you can take inspiration if you want. But there are surely much more elegant solutions: https://github.com/trueberryless-org/starlight-sidebar-swipe/blob/main/packages/starlight-sidebar-swipe/overrides/MobileMenuToggle.astro
