Hi. I recently picked up the lichess app and I wanna say that I love it, but I there are two things about it that are kinda bugging me right now. These might affect only a small group of people (Myself included), but under the right circumstances I think they can get to anyone.
First off are the game's Draw offers.
They show up out of the blue. There have been times when I've attempted to move a piece in the bottom left side of the board and ended up drawing a winning game instead.
I think maybe draw offers shouldn't show up as pop-ups, or that a confirmation button should be added.
Then there's the way games are resigned.
Something very unfortunate happened to me just now. I was just about to win a game when my opponent requested a takeback; I saw the menu button blip and decided I'd decline the request. So I opened the menu and was about to hit that decline button when my opponent decided to play. The menu reverted back to it's usual state and I hit the resign button instead.
I figure it might not be possible to realign the buttons to avoid this situation due to the varying phone sizes, so maybe a confirmation option could be a fix.
At the end of the day neither of these are a big deal since ratings will even themselves out in the long run, but it's kind of upsetting to have a good game go down the drain due to a mishap.
