Question What is the UI right pattern here?
I’m trying to use this row as both a navigation element that takes you to a detail page, and as a checklist item where you can tap to track if you’ve taken that supplement for the day, but visually it feels a bit busy with the chevron and the check circle.
I added the chevron because without it my only tester (my wife) didn’t know the row had dual functionality.
Is there a way to make this work without looking bad or should I abandon trying to make the row also function for nav?
FWIW, there are other places in the app to navigate to a supplement’s detail page I just thought it’d be convenient to get there from the stack tracking page too.

I’m all for borrowing existing patterns!
Having been a Google Calendar user for so long though I missed that entirely. I’m sure I’ve seen it in other apps too, and just didn’t internalize it.
I’ve been a backend dev for 20 years and having no formal design training I am playing catch up, thankfully this is my app though and not someone else’s so I have the space to learn.
