Describe the feature you'd like

When scrolling while reading a page in the mobile app, the top and bottom bars should automatically hide to allow for a more focused reading experience. This is a common behavior in a lot of apps, I think it should be obvious for users, though we could also have a setting if people don’t want this behavior. I’d argue though that auto hide should be the new default.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

This would allow users a more uncluttered reading experience on mobile, where screen real estate is more valuable.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No

I agree that this should be the default, we don't need to create a setting for it 👍

This is an easy one, I may just check this in while I work on thinking through the other two and how to get the view right
