Some thoughts about new sidebar feature
Overall, I like the sidebar design, but would like to share some ideas and notes:
-
Grouping by categories is unnecessary, and only clutters the sidebar. It can be changed to a simple horizontal line with margins of about the height of a menu item
-
Why replacing search field with a button? The width of sidebar allows for the whole field to fit,
-
Because of both logo and menu items using the same typeface, it kind of looks as if there were centered wrongly. What it we use different typeface of a font just to show that this is a logo, which is (kind of) not a regular menu item? I also centered it inside of the sidebar and added another (perhaps unnecessary?) separation, just to show it.
-
"Profile", "Settings" and "Log out" items are shown even if user is not logged in, leading to 404 when clicked. Seems to be a bug considering I actually managed to get the "Login" and "Registration" items to appear instead, though I don't remember how exactly.
Some quick concept art (don't mind the paddings being not 100% consistent). I also changed the page paddings for a little, just to page to work better when sidebar navigation is enabled).
