I actually don’t like the idea of using the FAB, it “hides” these pages too much. The FAB disappears when you start scrolling and if I saw a “+” button on my profile page I would never think clicking it would allow navigation to other pages.
If anything, you could expand/collapse those 5 options at the top, or turn them into horizontal tabs rather than vertical menus. But please don’t hide them all within a “+” button. I already missed the “hide read posts” button because I never thought to click the “+” FAB on the main screen. I just assumed clicking the “+” button would be a “create post” so hiding options unrelated to post creation behind that button is extremely confusing to me.
If you’re going to hide lots of options behind a FAB, please change it to a hamburger icon (three lines) or something else other than a “+” icon.
Thanks for the idea, I’ll think about it… the + icon is nice for the animation rotation that I introduced when it is opened, I need something with radial symmetry…
Other options would be an option menu in the action part of the top bar opening a drop down menu, but it would have to be nested for moderation tools.
Another option would be a slide in lateral drawer on the right in IG/Threads style…
