Closing the drawer might be confusing. I've seen it twice in ux testing - once, someone who was asked to test the list for me ended up in a half-open drawer without knowing how to close it, and even clicked on the accordion chevron. Another time, a new user who was trying to show me a fruit tree they harvested from found it already added and got to the drawer view, understood how to fully open the drawer and 'back', but it took them a moment to dismiss the view.

I just had a UI idea about this so the proposed resolution is to address it together with #636 and add two little icons in the top right of the card:

  • link icon on the left does a 'share' (copies link to clipboard and toasts)
  • map icon on the right does a 'map view': go to the map centered on the location, with place search set to the address

This would be close enough to dismissing the drawer to offer a lifeline for someone that is just clicking around, and I wonder if the two behaviours of sharing and going to the map are similar enough to warrant grouping them next to each other. The clutter / complexity counter does not go up by too much because we could then remove the 'list-location flavour' of a view.

Not sure if it's a great idea, an alternative is an X button but that doesn't do anything for the advanced user.
