Pot-based bet slider

I'm aware that this may be annoying, difficult, or impossible. It'd just be pretty awesome.

Currently the bet slider is one of the least useful ways to attempt to make a bet, as the scaling is '1bb => entire stack' in smooth 1bb increments. As most pot sizes tend towards the small relative to stacks, this leaves the bet slider fairly useless in most situations. I submit that the solution is a pot-based bet slider. Instead of directly mapping 'one click = 1bb', a smooth click/drag on the bar that would be |0----|halfpot----------|fullpot-----|allin allows for a much more useful bet slider, as it'd actually be possible to use the slider to make many of your bets as instead of having ~2-3% of the bar be in the range of 'bets a normal person would probably like to make' it'd use ~75% of the bar in the 0-full pot range. Similar, I suppose, to the PLO slider, just with an extra 20% on the end that runs from full pot to all-in. I argue that this would be a substantial increase in functionality.
