Hi GeoffAirey, thanks for your reply.

I disagree. It should never be difficult to do anything. Yes, it should be unlikely that it could be done inadvertently, but that's very different from being difficult to do. That's why you must swipe and then confirm. That gesture is already pretty standard in many apps, including Apple's own - (not that everything Apple does should be viewed as a gold standard).

No, you can undo. Software can be programmed to behave more intelligently than perhaps you realize. Swipe + Confirm + Undo is, in my view, ample protection against unwanted data loss.

And as I said, you already can swipe to delete projects, but only in the sidebar (where you might not even be viewing the project details) . Why allow it there and not in the project detail view where you can readily see the actions comprising the project?

I would also suspect that very few people delete projects
I myself do delete certain kinds of projects. In any event, I don't think it's particularly relevant. The functionality is provided, so it should be accessible and consistent.
