Hey! thanks for taking care of this. You should precise this is only for android.

I'm not a fan of a new screen to show the quick game matrix. It does not add much value.

I would much prefer having 2 or 3 "play action" based on the user preferences.

I reckon it is more work, as you need to "record" the setup of a game each time a game is created. But it is not that hard after all.
Some suggestions:

• persist a simple Map<GameSeek, int> which holds the number of times a precise game seek was created
• this could happen in https://github.com/lichess-org/mobile/blob/inbox/lib/src/model/lobby/create_game_service.dart

This would add much more value imo. If you look at the Spotify app, this is exactly what they do: the last 3 albums you've listened to are in quick actions.

Another feedback: don't put icons, or use the official lichess icons for game kinds; eg: a blitz game should have the blitz (fire) icon, a rapid the rapid (rabbit) icon, etc.

UPDATE: don't follow my previous comment actually 😅

I realise the Spotify approach is better. We should show the last 3 created game types (if we have them).

So it is not a Map<GameSeek, int that we need to persist, but only the last 3 created GameSeek.

It shows the last 3 created game types (if any) and we can click them to play the same type of game.
If the game was rated, there is an 🏅 icon appears next to its name.

iOS has this feature as well. Will this implementation also work on there?

It should work on iOS as well, but I currently don't have iOS device to test it.

That won't do, because we don't use that icon in the app and people would not understand. Also we need a way to indicate this action will create a game.
Also we need to indicate which variant it is. For now we only support chess960, but more variants will come later.
Could be improved, and suggestions are welcome, but I see something like this:

In place of the star, there should be the perf icon: bullet, blitz, rapid, classical or variant (960, crazyhouse, etc).

I think like that it is a bit more clear what does the action: the + icon indicates it creates a game, as well as the "Recently played".

In place of the star, there should be the perf icon: bullet, blitz, rapid, classical or variant (960, crazyhouse, etc).

I think this can't be implemented. Both Android and iOS only support native layout in quick actions. Unless we replace + icon with perf icon.

Oh, right, and I suppose using the LichessIcon font won't work.

Then we can use the shortTitle of Perf.
But only if the variant is different from standard chess. In another bullet point after "rating / casual".

It looks like this picture now. The subtitile "Recently played" may be hidden by some launchers.
