Notes on Coast
* Swipe vs tap on home screen doesn't work well. Took three tries to tap Reddit.
* No feedback on loading speed. Sluggish.
* Minimal feedback. In the seven tries tapping on the link I wanted, it registered a click on the item above. I didn't know until that page loaded. You do get a grey outline when you successfully tap a link, but not when you fail. *Something* is different versus other browsers...
* Swipe-for-back kinda collides with pinch-to-zoom-out if you have a light touch. This is really annoying.
* It covers the previous page with pinstripes when loading 'back'. It's really annoying. In fact, the whole browsing experience feels like a clunky browser trying to be smooth.
* imgur captures swipes! That sucks a lot when your only controls are swipes. You can only 'escape' by accidentally opening the "Back stack" view. I still don't know how this works.
* You can view URLs, safety, info, etc by swiping down from a page in the "Back stack".
* Coast really suffers from lack of intents.
