@darius we doin' crimes against UX in here? 🤨

@darius Love a good hamburger menu!

Personally I'm finding the sidebar kinda claustrophobic on mobile (granted, I'm on a smaller phone, so lots of things feel that way).

@darius it's just unfathomable how much space that bar takes up

Especially if you're viewing a post without being logged in

@darius It’s almost funny: that vertical bar would be an excellent replacement for current menus on both the advanced and “simplified” desktop web UIs when you’ve got widescreens. It’s like they intentionally got mobile and desktop UX confused.

I was wondering myself if I could swap them in pure CSS or not. (Given my instance isn’t running a fork currently.)

@darius I'm not super fussy about this personally, but the part of me that is a mobile UX designer wants to know why none of this interface is at the bottom of the screen, where you can press it with your thumbs without moving your hand.

@darius All these years later, no one has ever been able to take it to the hamburger menu quite like James Brown

@darius that vertical sidebar is fun in a “it’s 2001 and everyone’s monitors are getting bigger so let’s start being web layout weirdos” way, and in that I like it for someone taking a big non-standard swing… but actually I hate using it and hope it goes away very soon.
