1. Why Swiping is 10x Faster Than Tapping Checkboxes
Cognitive neuroscience research shows that the human brain can process an entire visual scene in as little as 13 milliseconds. When you review photos full-screen:
- You instantly know whether a photo sparks joy or is an accidental pocket blur.
- A simple physical gesture—swiping left or right—triggers muscle memory without requiring precision taps on tiny corner checkboxes.
- You avoid the fatigue of zooming in and out of a cluttered multi-column grid.
