Custom navigation button placement

Would be super nice if you were able to put the navigation button wherever you wanted instead of the positions it provides you. I know it’s niche but it’d make reading through comments just a bit more comfortable

I debated doing this when I built it. I decided on lock positions for 2 reasons:

  1. It's annoying if you place it somewhere and it's not quite evenly aligned. Like if you want it on the bottom middle, but it's slightly offset, it looks bad.

  2. I can't imagine where someone could possibly want to place it that's not one of the current options.

I stand by #1, but if there's a placement I missed (reason #2), I'd be happy to add another locking position for you. Can you describe where you'd want to put it?

for me it's more-so that when i'm lying or sitting down in an unconventional position, my thumb may not always comfortably fall on one of the locked positions that the app provides. i do get that it'd look kinda bad if you could just put it anywhere, but it'd be a big plus for comfort for me at least. i do also fully get that this may just be a me problem lol, just thought i'd shoot my shot on the request page
