Support a new tablet mode
With the proliferation of Windows Surface tablets, I was very surprised when I got my new Samsung Chromebook Plus that BazQux doesn't seem to have a tablet mode.
Is it possible to enhance the GUI a bit to make it easier to navigate on a tablet? Bigger Next/Previous button (maybe even swiping like News+)?
I spend at least an hour per day in BazQux, so this would really enhance my experience.

I think this option is supported with mobile web interface

and you could change reader font size (which increases size of buttons) in Appearance dialog:

Interesting information. Button size will increase if you increase reader font size in Appearance settings. But it will make text font bigger too.
I'm thinking to make single line toolbar like on mobile phones or on tablets in portrait mode. That way settings button won't be near the Next button.
Swiping could look quite strange if it leads to vertical scrolling instead of horizontal. And sometimes there are tables and blocks of code with horizontal scrolling. Accidental swiping is possible there. Not too bad if it opens left panel but it's unacceptable if it changes current article.

On a bouncy bus, the Next button is too close to the Settings icon. I keep hitting it accidentally.
Can we have a bigger button, or a left/right swipe action?
