1818633 - Overscroll causes "bounce-back" on Pocket stories & Recently visited

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Fenix :: Pocket, defect, P3)

Description

[Gabriel Luong [:gl] (ΦωΦ)]

When swiping right on the first Pocket section or left on the last - the view sometimes switches to the middle (second) section.

[gl] The ask is a bit unclear of the exact want. Could investigate adding some fixed threshold on how much swipe occurs or some extra resistance to the swipe. No clear guidance or specs to work with. Workable but requires collaborating with UX to okay the final experience

A bit more clarification in expectations for this ticket:

For both of the Recently Visited and Pocket Stories sections on the homepage, if you try to overscroll past the last column, it will "bounce" back to the middle column.

Implementation notes:

• there's likely not a perfect solution; engineer should expect to work alongside UX to find the right balance.
• overscroll behavior can vary depending on device
• not sure if one fix would cover both of these sections or if the same fix needs to be separately applied to each (recently visited + pocket stories)

Behavior is a bit hard to describe; hopefully this screen recording helps.
