Tabs for patterns in the shop interface

Hi!
I donā€™t think this is too common of a problem, but I tend to draft patterns in my Ribblr shop space because I love all the options you have when you create one.
This has created a bit of a problem for me since I jump between different patterns; both that they move around (the most recently changed pattern gets in the first place of the list, instead of staying where it was, so that can make it hard to find) and that they are listed beside and below published patterns.

I guess Iā€™m fat-fingered, because itā€™s happened more than once that Iā€™ve accidentally pressed a published patternā€™s live setting (or maybe because Iā€™m left-handed and operate from the left side of the phone screen). Iā€™m very glad that you have to confirm unpublishing a pattern. And the thing with the drafts moving around makes it hard to change things in multiple patterns, because you need to find the next one in the chain, and nothing stays in the same place (I hope that makes sense).
Hereā€™s a personal example. I write repeats like this: 6 [1 sc, inc] (28), and write out the explanation at the top of the pattern, but sometimes I forget and need to add them to my new drafts - that is a repeat instance where static placement would be really useful. Or an ability to reorder them (and have them static).

Now, after that rant; would it be possible to get a tab in the shop interface where your drafts are automatically stored? And maybe make their places in that tab static (that would be extra, but Iā€™d be extra happy), or maybe even three tabs in the future; live patterns, patterns in testing, and drafts? I know three tabs might be asking for the moon because as I said, itā€™s probably not a common problem, but since Iā€™m creating a post for it, why not :blush:

Also; if thereā€™s a solution to this, Iā€™d love to know about it: usually when I work on a wip that isnā€™t live yet, I get notifications on my phone asking me to finish it or share it with others (canā€™t remember exactly what they say because I swipe them away immediately, but something to that effect), and itā€™s kind of annoying and slightly stressful :sweat_smile: I donā€™t know if itā€™s a bug or just not thought of, but it feels like these notifications kinda belong to ā€œliveā€ patterns only :blush:

Wow, lengthy post! I hope I didnā€™t ramble on too much and that I made myself understood :sweat_smile:

Thanks for reading, and thank you all for your amazing work! Youā€™ve really done incredibly well insanely quickly implementing improvements to the whole site. Kudos! :kissing_heart::100:

You should post about it in the suggestions space and it might be put into a later update

There is a place above your patterns that says public, drafts, and testing.

I thought it was put in the suggestion page :sweat_smile: it says so on top of my screen, anyway ā€“ if my phone isnā€™t bugging out somehow.

Wow, I have no idea how I didnā€™t see those tags before :sweat_smile: Iā€™ll definitely look around and play around with them; Iā€™ll keep the post up for now though, since I donā€™t know how the filtered version works, and I kinda want to know about the push notifications :blush:
